People need to stop overreacting Jon Jones knocking out a 42 years old firefighter

[@jessechaos132]

You need to stop being a dumbass. He KOd in fantastic fashion and that can’t be taken away.

[@StancedHellcat]

But but but he did cool kick on the old man who cares if the old man had concrete blocks on his feet

[@Triumphantchild]

@@jessechaos132You need to stop being such an insecure little Jones fangirl. Stipe’s washed up, in his 40s, and hadn’t fought in 4 years. Everyone knew Jones would beat him, lmao.

Can’t give him 29-0 he’d still be 28-1 if we being honest

[@Axel-MMA]

Jones is NOT 29-0. He’s 27-2. He lost to Reyes. Don’t say stupid shit Hoppero

[@blakenilsen9852]

No they didn’t bro I’m tired of those bs narratives, watch both of those fights. They are close but they are 3-2 in Jones favor

[@jayanmazumder359]

I think we need to add a lil more accolades to jones - Most times popped for roids post usada - Most blatant robbery in ufc title fight history - Most champions ducked

[@Amrgoated]

Most times popped for roids I’m assuming it’s true idk But only 1 time he competed with roids Most blatant robbery in ufc title fight history Just not true shows your a casual Most champions ducked Again he ducked once your a casual that started watch in 2023

[@jayanmazumder359]

I said popped not competed kid. Popped twice against DC and once in the Gustaffson 2 fight, where they had to cover it up by changing the venue and the state it took place in. He lost to Reyes blatantly. He ducked ngannou and aspinal. Don’t chat to me with ur corny casual insults

[@Amrgoated]

@ I understand that you said popped but you said most blatant robbery which is just not true and he dident duck ngannu and even if he did so many people ducked more than 2

[@jayanmazumder359]

@@Amrgoated he did duck ngannou. Sat out teasing that he would return to the heavyweight division and as soon as ngannou got it, he immediately kept quiet and took 3 years off. Only when ngannou left, jones came back to fight an easy stylistic match up in gane. If anything is double champ status is fraudulent because he never beat the best heavyweight at any point in time. I said most blatant robbery in title fight history and most champions ducked which is true. Provide me an example that debunks this.

[@Amrgoated]

@ dj vs Henry Cejudo bas ruten vs Kevin randleman and so many more and for most champions ducked he ducked one champ but I’ll include 2 if it helps you sleep at night Micheal bisping ducked Whittaker Yoel Romero Lukerockhold and basically every top contender to rematch Dan Henderson and even then he still ducked and fought gsp coming off 4 year layoff and LOST but anyways Tito ducked chuck and the one Dutch women ducked literally the entire division gsp ducked Whittaker and Romero Daniel corimer ducked jones (don’t try to deny it dc literally vacated his belt as soon as jones made his return ) and so many more ducks your just a causal that says this because you hate jones and haven’t even been watching for more than 2 years if you’ve been watching since atleast 2018 you would know your wrong

[@robicoopter]

I‘d like to see Leon Edwards fighting Gilbert Burns as the main event of the London Card and Paddy vs Moicano as Co-Main.

[@noahturtle3975]

People aren’t talking about the Chandler cheating enough

[@rocketsrequiem]

Jones came in 10 pounds lighter thats probably why he looked faster

[@Deacers]

Aspinall is heavier than most of his opponents and is way way quicker 10lbs isn’t really shit. Stipe was just so far out of the game he was so slowww. If jones ever throws a punch faster than his opponent there’s a problem

[@rocketsrequiem]

@Deacers ok?

[@duncanmcdonald8726]

@@Deacersya stipe also looked like he gassed out pretty quickly

[@darthmaul8278]

I feel like Kron Gracie didn’t deserve a ranked fight with Bryce Mitchell but Bryce Mitchell deserves a layup against Kron after that brutal KO

[@songpizzas5422]

Yeah I think after Bryces brutal KO loss to Emit, the UFC was worried about his brain health. So they matched him up with someone with terrible striking and no KO power.

[@MarcTosh-m7i]

Gonna drop a hot take here, I think Garry can get this one done on the feet, hate the guy but he’s got pretty slick striking and adjusts real well mid fight when it’s not going his way

[@DanAddison]

I can’t believe you’re looking at Jones’s stats and taking them at face value. There are endless caveats. You can’t come away from this Stipe win thinking that it further validates Jones’s claim to being HW champ or p4p number one or GOAT. It does the opposite. It proves that he’s scared of Aspinall and Ngannou and has spent his career doing everything in his power to not play fair.

[@Solo-pv8qj]

👏

[@xax2952]

he lost the second round to an ancient stipe, aspinall sleeps him in a few minutes

[@MateyMateev-eq9wf]

@@Aburner960 The first criterion when scoring a fight is damage. Takedowns depend, controlling time or forward pressure should be considered when the numbers of damaging significant strikes are equal.

[@coreybuckner1652]

@@harshatomas835 This is a misconception. Nowhere in the UFC rulebook is "damage" a criteria. It says effective striking and/or grappling. Effective can mean damage but it can mean other things as well. As for who won the fight, it's pretty clear. Ruffy landed cleaner, more powerful strikes, and set up a number of outstanding combos. The no look left hand shovel uppercut that swelled up Llontop's eye was a thing of beauty. Llontop had volume, but missed a lot, got countered very easily and was in real danger multiple times. Ruffy may have been outlanded, but at no point was he ever in danger.

[@harshatomas835]

@@coreybuckner1652 It's not a misconception.That's how the UFC's scoring criteria work.

[@jvd6330]

17:20 what did he do to you 😭😭😭

[@bookaufman9643]

Instead of talking about Tom aspinall it would be more interesting to break down how Jon Jones looked in his second heavyweight fight. Everybody knows about the Tom aspinall situation so it would be more interesting to break down his possible next opponent. You look much faster than he did against Cyril Gane and he came in lighter which is probably good. He looked slow against Cyril. He didn't look that slow in this fight. I don't know who would win in their fight. Jones is the better wrestler but he likes to fight guys in their specialty so he may screw up and go out there and try to strike with Tom. If he did that he'd probably lose but if he wrestled he'd probably win because even though Tom is a decent wrestler you can't replace all those years of organized wrestling training that Jon Jones has.. I think it's too close to call.😊

As a casual fan, I would rather see Jon vs Alex. I didn’t even know who Tom was until I was watching the Post interview and they was talking about him not fighting Tom. I had to search Tom on KZbin to get caught up 😅

Well my friend, you have now introduced yourself to Tom and become slightly less casual. Welcome into the fray, my brother. 💪 😂

Casual fan or not, we need Jon and Tom to unify the heavyweight title. Having two title holders in the heavyweight division is a bad look for the sport.
