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

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

|That's his face in like 90% of his fights. He has a chin and

|u/JManKit - 6 hours
|
|KO by body kick seems like a decent way to earn a big payout. He did

|better than when he got flatlined by Francis
|u/SquidDrive - 5 hours

|At least when he fought Francis he was significantly faster, this

|u/JManKit - 5 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
|payout?? Jesus Christ
|u/JManKit - 5 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

|
|"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/lucasd11 - 5 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".
|u/DustedGrooveMark - 5 hours
|
|For real. Like come on man, we all knew this was how it was supposed
|to go. If Stipe looked at all impressive, it was going to be a

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

|The fact Stipe at that speed was hitting Jones clean, means
|he’s never fighting Alex or Tom
|u/JManKit - 6 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

|u/Regular_Gear_7814 - 6 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 - 5 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.

|again. (or at least if we do Dana will probably offer him a boatload
|to fight Tom).

|As a Stipe fan, you knew going in it was his last fight that Dana
|promised him. He didn't look as bad as people made it sound. Landed
|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. His personality didn't fit the UFC but he's a good
|dude and hopefully his legacy will carry on.
|u/Xbsnguy - 5 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.
|u/Sagermeister - 4 hours
|
|> GSP and Khabib had the judgment to leave while still on top and
|at their peak after stellar runs Bro, GSP did the same thing
|Jones just did. He left after winning a controversial decision
|over Hendricks, then came back four years later to fight the
|weakest MW champion in a decade. Shades of Jones disappearing for
|3 years after Reyes and coming back to Gane.

|u/hitemwiththebingbing - 5 hours

|u/BeerBellyBlake - 5 hours

|u/taterfiend - 5 hours
|
|Stupid business move too. Instead of promoting one of the current

|I'm sorry, but Aspinall absolutely kills this version of Jon Jones.

|Man imagine if Jones wasn't a steroid using, wife-beating pussy and

|the sense in the world. Dude needed to get violently KO'd, turn 40, and
|sit on the shelf for 4 years for Jones to nut up and do this. Bum. Now

|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
|fight while coming off a loss.
|u/Megamoss - 5 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.
