  |At least Tyson got paid a fuck ton, and was in with a guy that didn't

            |
            |Why do you say 500k?  Is that the rumor? Are there
            |additional bonuses for how long he lasts into the fight etc
            |(like 250k extra per round)?  I don't know anything about
            |fighter compensation but it seems like 500k is way way way
            |too low for a fighter of Stipe's legacy to come back at age
            |42.


              |u/GiantPurplePen15 - 3 hours

        |I don’t think MSG means anything to Stipe. He would have take
        |the fight in the Apex if it meant more money probably


        |u/RaylanGivens29 - 3 hours
        |
        |I don’t think headlining MSG in that kind of fight is anything
        |worth talking about. But the $$, I would take those shots.


      |u/JimmyKanine - 3 hours
      |
      |Why are we acting like getting folded like a beach chair by
      |Ngannou was a better way for him to go out? A payday fight at MSG
      |with a body shot KO is much better way to go.


      |u/assgoat - 3 hours
      |
      |The saddest part is, he didn't even get to hang them up. :'(


      |u/VanSaxMan - 3 hours
      |
      |Right, out of his legacy as am MMA fighter that has to be one of
      |the WORST ways to go out. No reason why he took that fight other
      |than a paycheck....


      |u/gdmr458 - 3 hours
      |
      |It could have been worse, like losing to someone low in the
      |rankings, we've seen similar things.


      |u/lefthighkick911 - 3 hours
      |
      |The way 99% of fighters go


    |u/HHHogana - 4 hours
    |
    |Miocic got paid peanuts for his last fight vs Ngannou.  It's
    |criminal considering how long he fought in UFC.


    |u/myboybuster - 3 hours
    |
    |Stipe just doubled his career earnings in 1 fight


      |u/SoCalDan - 2 hours
      |
      |Now he can go lease a Chevy Volt


    |u/zibzobzoob - 3 hours
    |
    |Yeh UFC going to give Stipe a nice retirement bonus of 20 prime
    |energy drinks


      |u/ippo4ever - 3 hours
      |
      |“lifetime supply” fine print said max 20


      |u/potatowned - 3 hours
      |
      |Honestly how much do we think Stipe got paid for this all said and
      |done? Best case scenario $2 million? Realistically $1m?


        |u/Totally_PJ_Soles - 3 hours
        |
        |Yeah I could see it being 3 mill max which is enough for him to
        |stop fighting fires and solidify his family financially
        |regardless of what he's spent with his earnings so far.


    |u/GiantPurplePen15 - 3 hours
    |
    |Stipe walked out with a guaranteed $1 mil after 4 years of
    |inactivity and to let Jones use him as a punching bag for a bit
    |under 15 minutes.  Probably a bit more after PPV points are included
    |and all that other stuff.  He only came back to secure a bag and go
    |home.


    |u/Knozis - 3 hours
    |
    |Yeah could tell Jake actually showed a lot of mercy as soon as it
    |was obvious Tyson's body was failing him in the 2nd round.
    |Meanwhile this mf Jones was throwing hellacious elbows at his senior
    |citizen opponent lmaoooo

  |You can still make it a trifecta by beating up an old man on Sunday

  |Tyson vs Stipe would be awesome as an undercard for Jake Paul vs Conor


  |u/DruPeacock23 - 3 hours
  |
  |Jones makes everyone look old though


  |u/TheLangleDangle - 3 hours
  |
  |As the dust settles, I feel bad about myself. I feel like I’ve
  |contributed to elder abuse or something. I mean, we were all hyped to
  |watch grandpa fights until our fucking eyes told us the truth. I’m
  |kinda sad. It’s like some kind of post fight clarity.


|u/IaintComingWithU - 4 hours
|
|Stipe was so slow


  |u/NeitherAlexNorAlice - 4 hours
  |
  |Bro's just cashing a check. Can't blame him.


    |u/Bubonic_Ferret - 4 hours
    |
    |His expression on the stool after round 1 made me feel like he
    |wished it was over already


      |u/overzealous_wildcat - 3 hours
      |
      |Elbows hurt


      |u/Radagascar1 - 3 hours
      |
      |That first round was a vintage JJ beating. No one looks good after
      |that. Hardly anyone survives it


      |u/Call_Em_Skippies - 3 hours
      |
      |That's his face in like 90% of his fights. He has a chin and
      |heart. Wouldn't have surprised me if out of no where he KOed Jones
      |in the 3rd.


    |u/JManKit - 4 hours
    |
    |KO by body kick seems like a decent way to earn a big payout. He did
    |take a bunch of shots to the head and was wobbled earlier but it was
    |better than when he got flatlined by Francis


      |u/SquidDrive - 3 hours
      |
      |At least when he fought Francis he was significantly faster, this
      |was like seeing my dad fight in terms of speed, and he's dead for
      |fucks sake.


        |u/JManKit - 3 hours
        |
        |Oh I mean that when it comes to collecting a pay cheque, a loss
        |by body kick is preferable to a loss by having your soul punched
        |out of your body. Stipe from the second Francis fight would have
        |been a very different opponent for Jon tonight


        |u/VivianRichards88 - 3 hours
        |
        |Jon Jones would definitely fight your dad if it adds to his
        |legacy


          |u/SquidDrive - 3 hours
          |
          |"You think I'm gonna stand there and let you kill me again
          |Jon?"  \-Squid Sr.


      |u/The_OtherDouche - 3 hours
      |
      |I don’t know those body kicks may not turn your brains to mashed
      |potatoes but that shit is going to be fucked for weeks


      |u/babsa90 - 3 hours
      |
      |Is this sarcasm? A back kick to the ribs is a good way to earn a
      |payout?? Jesus Christ


        |u/JManKit - 3 hours
        |
        |Not sarcasm. They're prize fighters so getting hurt is an
        |occupational hazard. But you can get hurt in a lot of different
        |ways and some of them leave very lasting damage i.e. getting
        |KO'd by Francis. At most this will be broken ribs and with
        |minimum of $1 million payout and possibly as high as $3 million,
        |I think a lot people would take that deal. I'm sure Stipe would
        |have rather won but everyone could tell after the first round
        |that that wasn't going to happen so it was more a question of
        |how badly he was going to get hurt


    |u/goodthropbadthrop - 4 hours
    |
    |He had heart but Father Time is a motherfucker


  |u/Spartalust - 4 hours
  |
  |Looked like he was fighting under water


    |u/Proper_squat_form - 2 hours
    |
    |And the way he shuffled his feet at the beginning of round 1 looked
    |like a kid in their first boxing class. His body was not listening
    |to him anymore. 


  |u/Bluepaynxex - 4 hours
  |
  |Back to back nights of elderly abuse. At least we can take solace in
  |the fact that Tom would crush this version of Jon Jones.


    |u/mrshavedsnow - 3 hours
    |
    |Max holloway is ONLY 32 but he's considered old af from the mileage
    |he racked up. Same with jones. Hes ONLY 37 but being in the ufc for
    |16 years makes him old af too


  |u/bobn3 - 4 hours
  |
  |Jones too, but Stipe made him look like Holloway


    |u/CubanLinxRae - 3 hours
    |
    |yeah the commentary said jones looked amazing and idk jones is my
    |GOAT next to GSP and Fedor but he looked beatable


  |u/scrubdiddlyumptious - 4 hours
  |
  |The slowness in his striking, wincing on every strike, and flat footed
  |90% of the fight. Just a terrible look


  |u/KingKaiserW - 4 hours
  |
  |Stuck in the mud, somehow still landed a bunch of shots on Jones


|u/Market-West - 4 hours
|
|Stipe saying he’s done. You can tell he was done way before this fight.
|Good on him hope he got a fat pay check he’s a class act


  |u/MyFifthLimb - 2 hours
  |
  |He was done about 3 years ago


  |u/Deveeno - 2 hours
  |
  |They pulled him out of retirement so he could properly retire in the
  |ring


    |u/ghostmcspiritwolf - 1 hour
    |
    |they pulled him out of retirement so Jones could fight someone with
    |lots of name recognition but not much chance of winning.


  |u/Radagascar1 - 3 hours
  |
  |That first round was agonizing. At least Francis took his head clean
  |off and that was it


    |u/MyGlassHalfFool - 3 hours
    |
    |You getting downvoted but thats facts, I didnt want to watch that
    |shit. Honestly felt like I was watching Jake Paul and Mike Tyson
    |again with how slow Stipe was moving and how uninspired he was from
    |2 minutes into the fight


      |u/Dr_Kriegers5th_clone - 2 hours
      |
      |I said before the fight that Stipe looked slow af against Francis,
      |and that was almost 4 years ago. There was no way in hell he got
      |faster with age and inactivity.  Honestly, it's such a farce that
      |Jon gets to parade this win around when it should be looked at for
      |what it is, not Jon's toughest test as Rogan and Dc kept
      |bullshitting, He successfully waited that out with Francis. But
      |call it as it is, Jon fought a guy who should have retired after
      |the Francis fight and was just there for the pay day and to see
      |out his contract under the brightights.


|u/Few_Highlight1114 - 4 hours

|A 42 year old man lasted longer than Ciryl Gane. Also this fight was
|just sad.

    |Gane needs to go to Dagestan or train with Glover, or something -
    |not sure how he'll get over that ceiling


      |u/DivestEternal - 3 hours
      |
      |Nah it's overrated. There's a reason why only one team has been
      |successful out of that region.  A fighter can spend as much time
      |in Dagestan as they want, but if they weren't born there and
      |trained there all their lives with Khabib's dad, then it's not the
      |same.


        |u/SonofAMamaJama - 3 hours
        |
        |I hear you but it seemed to help Belal Muhammad - I just wonder
        |how else Ciryl can get the wrestling rub


    |u/TantalusMusings - 3 hours
    |
    |Ngannou's wrestling got a lot better near the end of his UFC tenure.


      |u/Zammyjesus - 3 hours
      |
      |Huge difference between his first and second match with Stipe


        |u/TantalusMusings - 3 hours
        |
        |I agree. The Ngannou that won the second Stipe fight is one of
        |the scariest fighters I've ever seen in the octogon.


          |u/Business_Concert_142 - 3 hours
          |
          |D1 Ngannou is still #1 HW in my book.


        |u/Professor_seX - 2 hours
        |
        |Well yeah. First fight Ngannou had like 6 years total MMA
        |experience. The next 3 years in the UFC he probably learned more
        |than he ever did previously in those 6 years.


      |u/LT48 - 3 hours

    |
    |Honestly I felt the other way. Not that Stipe looked good at all but
    |the few times he actually did land and had Jones running back they
    |quite literally said nothing. Jones would just slightly touch his
    |glove to Stipe on a jab and it was "oh nasty shot from Jon there,
    |Stipe doesn't want to keep eating those".

    |"Stipe has barely thrown any kicks."  Yeah, Joe, no shit. It's Stipe
    |Fuckin Miocic. When has he ever been a kicker? And why the fuck do
    |you think he's going to suddenly become one at 42 years old?  "He's
    |the Greatest HW of all time!"  Yeah, and Tyson was the youngest HW
    |champ of all time. Both are irrelevant stats at this point. Stipe
    |had been out of the cage for FOUR years, and he's 42... and his last
    |appearance was a loss.  Honestly, watching the UFC sometimes makes
    |me think I'm taking crazy pills. The gaslighting is just unreal.

      |u/suzukigun4life - 4 hours
      |
      |Yea he looked slow and beyond washed. He fought with all he had
      |and landed some good shots, but he's been done since that Ngannou
      |fight nearly 4 years ago.


        |u/kxd808 - 3 hours
        |
        |It was extra frustrating because it was clear Stipe had answers
        |for Jones that his body couldn’t follow through on. There were
        |moments where you could see opportunities Jones was leaving open
        |that he should’ve been able to take that he couldn’t. Just an
        |absolute bummer of a fight.


          |u/Jakob_Cobain - 3 hours
          |
          |Yeah Jon also looked like shit outside of round 1. Dude’s foot
          |work was absolute shit. Shitty overall defense really. The
          |second Stipe managed to gather up the strength to burst foward
          |for 3 seconds he started hitting Jon clean.


    |u/JManKit - 4 hours
    |
    |Yeah I was expecting a head kick finish ala DC. He was hurting Stipe
    |with all the body kicks and was getting him to drop his hands real
    |low to block them. Figured he'd throw one up high eventually and ko
    |Stipe


    |u/Regular_Gear_7814 - 4 hours
    |
    |It seemed like Jones took his foot off the gas a bit in round 2 but
    |I could be wrong. Seemed like a takedown was there all of 2 and 3


      |u/OSPFmyLife - 3 hours
      |
      |Jones doesn’t use his wrestling all that often, if he feels like
      |striking, he strikes. Just because he didn’t take an easy takedown
      |doesn’t mean his foots off the gas, that’s just how he fights.


        |u/ZenMon88 - 3 hours
        |
        |Ya he sets up his opponent. He rarely risks it in the early
        |rounds. He trys to wear them down with kicks and elbows in
        |striking. But if the opp is overly aggressive, he takes them to
        |the ground game. He truly plays 4d chess. He likes to create
        |openings by baiting.

  |As a Stipe fan, you knew going in it was his last fight that Dana

  |good punches, took a lot and last 2 1/2 rounds. Gane Latest 2 minutes.
  |Dude was an amazing heavy weight champion and cleaned the division
  |during his run. How personality didn't fit the UFC but he's a good

    |u/Xbsnguy - 3 hours
    |
    |Stipe is considered the HW GOAT for a reason, but seeing him go out
    |and retire this way is so disheartening. Coming out of basically a 4
    |year retirement just to be paid to be a head on Jones’s trophy wall
    |before Jones also retires is such a poor bookend to an otherwise
    |amazing career. GSP and Khabib had the judgment to leave while still

      |This is a good fight to remind people that power is the last thing

      |Stipe shadowboxed basically. As a huge Stipe fan, honestly just
      |sad to see. I'm sure he can wipe away his tears with the payout he

    |Jones makes everyone look like they’ve got no power, I don’t think

      |yeah Jon’s defense is one of the best parts of his game tbh. He

    |Stupid business move too. Instead of promoting one of the current

    |blood is how to pass the torch. Think Anderson Silva or Jose Aldo or

  |u/Megamoss - 3 hours
  |
  |Stipe is arguably the best heavyweight the UFC has ever had.  He lost
  |his title to Ngannou (who he beat previously), who left the
  |organisation without defending.  But not before lengthy arguments over
  |terms that were never resolved.    Jones sees an opportunity with
  |Ngannou gone and moves up to heavyweight and captures the title while
  |Stipe recovers.  Stipe, who never had a rematch he felt entitled to
  |(don't know why - the finish was definitive) wouldn't take any other
  |fights or retire.  Hence the rankings moving ahead of him.   Cue Jon
  |wasting time, Stipe refusing any other fight and a cancellation here
  |and there and you find yourself in the current situation.  Two guys
  |past their primes trying to do one last fight.   If Jon does fight
  |again in a timely fashion, I don't think he's retaining and Stipe is
  |definitely done.

|whoever wanted this matchup can suck both Danas and Jons cock, fuck you

|Why did they even let Stipe fight. So slow. Why he rush and had success
|and then back out again.

|Yep, that was a 42 year old man with a full time job alright. Thanks for

|Jon looks slower than he did at LHW and being older, obviously. But his
|striking is still creative and switches it up really really well. *if*
|the Aspinall fight happens, it would be fucking exciting.

|I was hoping so much Stipe could do it. But age caught up to him and it
|was evident. He was too slow and stiff and Jones had a great game plan
|here.

|All I heard in the post fight interview is “if the UFC doesn’t pay me
|enough I will not fight Tom” that’s why he couldn’t just call him out
|and say he’s next. This fight shows nothing it was against an old worn
|out Stipe who looked like he didn’t even want to be there.


|u/Dngrox - 3 hours

|They should make the UFC roster run a mile so when they get old we have
|a metric to see how much their fitness declines. Every big name Jones
|fought was over the hill smh. Please make the Aspinall fight happen.

|Jon with the famous "splayed finger framing" defense. Herb didn't warn

|i know yall hating jones but glover texeria at 42 won the light
|heavyweight title against a 38 yr old jan so stipe had a chance  that
|1st round inside trip was something stipe, even at 37yrs old, would not
|have been able to prepare for. he would have still gotten hellbowed and
|would have been compromised going into round 2 and 3

|Jon looked old and slow tonight too.  Lucky for his he was fighting to

|u/TheUnrulyGentleman - 2 hours

|Incoming Jones making a request for a ridiculous amount of money to
|fight aspinall, Dana tells him no chance, Jones retires. Watch it be
|another repeat of the original Superfight with him and Ngannou that was

|Stipe saying he’s done….looked to be done for the whole fight week smh
|he knew he’d lose


|u/RB5Network - 2 hours
|
|That was genuinely the most disrespectful send off to probably the
|greatest heavyweight of all time. The UFC doesn’t care about pure
|credentials, and you can tell Stipe is completely burnt on UFC as an
|organization. He didn’t give two fucks stepping out of the cage.


|u/BigBadBanjo1 - 2 hours
|
|Jon looked great and on point . Great footwork and head movement. Strong
|and fast . He will beat anyone they put in front of him. Stipe looked
|good strong and tough as a tank but fell into Jon’s game plans and
|slowly picked apart . Great to see two legends go at it. Ps fuck Thomas
|the train engine big chin fake teeth dork .

|I know it’s fun and popular to hate on Jon, rightfully so he’s a POS,

|Tom is about 10x faster than Jon and at least 500x faster than Stipe rn

|This fight has made me think that the same thing that's happened to
|Disney will and is happening to the UFC. It's just not as good as it
|used to be and they act like it's never been better because they kind of
|have to and it's just cringe.

  |They have 0 stars with charisma and pull. Viewership for sure to go to
  |shit after Volk, Dustin and the old guard retires. They're just gonna
  |spam the shit out of number of events and try to hype fights no one
  |gives a shit about. 2013-2020 was the golden age, this is just sad
  |now. At least Do Bronx and Chandler gave us a FIGHT.
