Will Jones Go Midnight-Thirty?

[Rear Naked Toke]

I'm expecting that Jon's game plan is to wrestle with Stipe. If so, I can't help but think that with 12/6 elbows now being legal that he's going to try to make a statement by finishing Stipe with them.

Anyone else see him trying to make that happen?

Jon may throw a few 12-6 elbows for personal amusement, but they're not a particularly effective finishing technique unless they land in just the right spot. Mostly they're a way to unnecessarily risk elbow injury. Much better in most cases to be landing side of the elbow or the end of the triceps right near where they attach to the elbow than to land the point of the elbow.

Sure, if he gets a full mount...on Stipe Miocic. Could happen, don't see it.

I'm sure that's what he's going for, but he might have a hard time getting it to the ground unless Stipe is just completely shot. His wrestling was getting less effective his last few fights except Gane, and he's 10 lbs smaller than Stipe. He'll probably have to stomp Shis knees standing for a little while to make a TD more of surprise, but Stipe was still 37 the last time he won a fight, and he's now 42, so he could just show up and be a grappling dummy.
