People that said Stipe had a “great chance” of beating Jones…. (2024)

Randy Couture
Anthony Smith
Rampage
Francis
Bisping
DC

All said Stipe was going to be a problem for Jones.

Fast-Forward to after Jones absolutely STARCHES Miocic…Stipe looked old and slow.

When in his entire career did Stipe EVER look fast like Prime Fedor??

Any version of Stipe would get starched by Jones with ease.

Its simple…Jones: questionable person but GOAT as a fighter.

Don't think anyone that thought Stipe had a chance was thinking that because of his speed though.

It was more like a "Stipe has good wrestling and true HW power" kind of thing.

This was until we saw how washed and past it he was when he stepped in there. Nobody had any idea how he would be before the fight.

Stips looked like himself…if anything Jones looked older but still was levels above Miocic.

Randy was a top fighter in his early 40s and doesn't realise guys that started younger than him also fade at younger ages.

Anthony Smith is a close friend of Stipe's and extremely biased.

Rampage is hardly the smartest guy out there.

Francis said the opposite from what I saw. Said the age was a huge concern. Actually accurate considering Jon fought a corpse last week.

Bisping and DC are company men. They are always going to toe the company line. UFC was trying to build Stipe as a credible challenger to Jones.

Stop, no he did not lmao. It was a wicked finish by Jon but no dude. I’m not even going to argue any further on this one.

So then Stipe looked the same and basically got dominated everywhere.

Stipe is def not the "greatest hw" as UFC was making him out to ebe ... just watch him move, he moves in molasses. There is nothing hes particularly great at. H'es durable, is moderately ood at everything, mixes it well, and HW sucks in general... Fedor would have done to him what he did to Tim Sylvia. Cat vs Sloth. now I love Stipe because hes such a great guy, fire fighter, humble, family man etc, but no, hes not at Jones/GOAT's level...

When I see posts like that I can only imagine that people that think Stipe looked good either didn't watch the fight. Watched it but never saw any of Stipe's other fights, or their brain simply doesn't function and they don't have a clue what they are watching.

That's if I'm being generous. The alternative is that they are slobbering Jones fans who are trying to convince themselves Jon beat a top fighter last week instead of a walking (well, limping) heavy bag.

an inactive 42 year old basically retired fighter who hasn’t fought in almost 4 years and was brutally ko’d in his last fight vs the supposed goat.. and people actually thought the fight would be competitive

you can sell people on anything

So did you bet your whole life savings on Jon Jones winning? If so, post your slip.

So the senior citizens' club all thought he had a chance?

Nobody else did, Jones was a -650 favorite and everybody on here said it was a waste of a fight and he was just ducking Aspinall.

It took Jonny Salami 3 rounds to beat Uncle Stipes
And he visibly turned his back and ran from him a few times during the fight

Aspinall would of KO’d him within 3 minutes

The fact that you feel the need to reference FEDOR makes me think you know he is really the GOAT

He tried to finish Stipe in the 1st with the elbows on the ground.

He was clearly tired after that and mostly took round 2 off, only shot a single time in the 2md round, and it was half-hearted and easily stuffed.

Got his 2nd wind back by round 3 and was able to finish Stipe who shouldn't have been cleared to fight given how he looked.

Aspinall would have beaten Jones last week. Between borderline gassing to the point of having to take a round off, his amateurish boxing defense, and him turning and running whenever slow ass Stipe tried to cover distance, I think its lucky Jon fought such a joke of an opponent. He's actually managed to convince some people that he looked as good as ever.
