If the fight happens in November it will have been 4 years and 2 months since Stipe won a fight.
Same with GaneHe went from the most dangerous man in the sport to a nobody overnight on Sherdog.
Yeah we already knew this. They tried to get him to fight Aspinall at UFC 300 and Stipe was like "nah fuck that".
Also told everybody Jones wouldn't come back before the end of the year. I'm pretty sure he's actually getting enjoyment from purposely stalling the division and fucking everybody over. Dude is scum of the earth.
And with that time frame, just leaves Jones ample time to fuck up in his personal life again and delay all fights with him indefinitely.I won't speak for anyone else but personally, I can't fucking wait for that HW unification bout in 2025. Only about another year to go!
And why? I honestly don't think this fight is a huge PPV mover at this point. I mean, I could be wrong about that but I just don't see it.I have to wonder at this point HOW MANY BULLION TRUCKS the UFC has promised to deliver to Miocic and to Jones for this fight.
I feel it's prob 5 to 10million each guaranteed, plus a share of the PPV revenue.
I mean it's a massive payday and I think that's why they're both just chilling out and waiting til it happens.
I don't see it ever happening. Jones beats Stipe and retires. He'll get the itch again a la GSP vs. Bisping if someone unexpectedly wins the belt who he views as a favorable match up.I won't speak for anyone else but personally, I can't fucking wait for that HW unification bout in 2025. Only about another year to go!
Yeah another current gen guy.Same with Gane
I kinda agree that the world of UFC watching dudes has kinda moved on from the era of Jon Jones and Miocic.And why? I honestly don't think this fight is a huge PPV mover at this point. I mean, I could be wrong about that but I just don't see it.
That's true, but I feel like Aspinall will have to beat one of them to get the respect of the greater fanbase.
Jones made his name beating the greats from the era before him, Shogun, Rampage, Vitor etc.
Miocic did the same at HW, beating Werdum, Overeem, JDS.
Aspinall just beating the current gen guys won't do much for him even if they are objectively better wins. People always think the eras of the past are better and look how quickly people forgot Pavlovich. He went from the most dangerous man in the sport to a nobody overnight on Sherdog.
Don't try to turn this shit into boxing where the sport is driven by past their prime names because the old ass dinosaur promoters are too lazy to build up new names knowing they'll be dead before they'll make any money off of them anyway.I kin da agree that the world of UFC watching dudes has kinda moved on from the era of Jon Jones and Miocic.
I am sure it'll do "ok" PPV numbers but nothing crazy. A lot depends on who is on the rest of the card.
It's all so ridiculous. Anyone that argues this is a fool. Tom is the real champ and beats both.I'll believe it when I see them both in the cage.
Even if it does happen in November 2024, it would've been 20 months since Jon won the title, and he'll be fighting a 42 year old guy that hasn't fought in 3 and half years
