Media Jon Jones wants Stipe next

[MartinGibson86]

Surprised people are getting excited about this? Stipe is shot.

Based on what?

 

[Sasha]

Jones via doctor stoppage when he torques Stipe's arm out of its socket

I'm sorry to ask, but did that have any consequences in that fight ? Genuinely asking.

 

[MartinGibson86]

Nope. Against DC he was doing well but just got caught. Against Ngannou be looked horrendous and shot. Try again.

No he didnt.

He tattooed Frank right before the ko.

Frank just has a diamond chin

And what is jon? He hasn’t been impressive in years, and I’m talking about going back from his last fight

applybthe same standard to stipe. You can go back any amount of years and try to cherry pick for narrative.

Jones haters ……Jones sucks now Santos and Reyes beat him

jones haters ….won’t fight guys his size

also jones Haters …..Jones is a Pussy for trying to take an easy fight against Stipe

 

[wildchild88]

Clever move taking a fight with a guy who's 40...

Come on man, it's pretty opportunistic, Stipe is 40 and looked average in his last fight which was like a year ago..

Is he still even training at a high level?

 

[Bork Neslar]

This makes more sense

Fight BLACK BEAST! not some firefighter...

Jon looked average in his last 3 fights ….2 years ago ……if you’re saying Jones likes his chances against Stipe better then Francis….that’s obvious…..but can’t see how Jones vs Stipe isn’t a legit test

 

[r-harper-1]

Clever move taking a fight with a guy who's 40...

Francis is likely 40 himself….

 

[r-harper-1]

Haters gotta start bringing Stipe down ….so if jones wins it doesn’t mean as much …..same shit for years lol ….weak

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

I'd love to see this fight. Make it happen Dana and company!

Maybe he should take on the young lion who currently rules LHW.


Stipe is at worst the current #3 HW in the world.

Goddamn

 

[Doughie99]

sounds like the UFC has been making a few phone calls since the weekend of the Ngannou fight.....

yes something like this -- absolutely the UFC will want to distract everyone now from NGannou and I think they won't mind paying Jones and Miocic.

Absolutely stipe has been more impressive recently and that’s even if you erase the fact that he’s been doing so while jon hasn’t been fighting all. That is to say, Stipe has been more impressive in his recent fights than Jon and Jon hasn’t even fought recently.

Stipe has been doing it against much stiffer competition as well!

Not to mention the power, size and strength variables which really can’t even be properly figured into the equation at this point.

Goddamn

Officially he's number 3, but in reality he's probably 5 now..

Just saying that it's clever of Jones, he can take out a massive name, who's past it physically..

 

[The XL]

Wouldn't he be referring to Fedor with that tweet?

Fedor lost to a 40 year old man who fought a good portion of his career under 200lbs. He was only 34 when he lost that fight. That pretty much disqualifies him from the discussion.

 

[eyeloveink]

Regardless if Stipe is the goat or not.... I would love to see this fight. Been waiting long enough to see Jones at HW, and Stipe is one of the few guys that makes it a tough fight for Jones.

 

[Local Plata]

I'll believe it when the contract is signed, Jon.
