|
|Stipe walked out with a guaranteed $1 mil after 4 years of

|under 15 minutes. Probably a bit more after PPV points are included

|u/JManKit - 4 hours
|
|KO by body kick seems like a decent way to earn a big payout. He did

|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

|Is this sarcasm? A back kick to the ribs is a good way to earn a

|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

|You getting downvoted but thats facts, I didnt want to watch that

|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.

|
|Honestly I felt the other way. Not that Stipe looked good at all but

|Stipe doesn't want to keep eating those".
|u/_interloper_ - 3 hours

|"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

|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

|It was extra frustrating because it was clear Stipe had answers

|u/Jakob_Cobain - 3 hours

|Yeah Jon also looked like shit outside of round 1. Dude’s foot

|u/JManKit - 4 hours

|Jones doesn’t use his wrestling all that often, if he feels like

|u/ZenMon88 - 3 hours
|
|Ya he sets up his opponent. He rarely risks it in the early

|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

|dude and hopefully his legacy will carry on.
|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
|on top and at their peak after stellar runs.

|Stipe shadowboxed basically. As a huge Stipe fan, honestly just

|u/taterfiend - 3 hours
|
|Stupid business move too. Instead of promoting one of the current

|I’m new to the sport but can someone explain why the champ is fighting

|Not only has he not fought in 3 years, but he's also got the title

|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.
