He thinks Pereira is a bigger money fight. Jones is 37 and looking for his final payday. His legacy has already been made, whatever happens now doesnt affect a 37 y/o JJ legacy.

tom aspinall has done a great job making this fight about him, i really want stipe to win but i dont see him getting out the first round he has fought how long now?

[@ashb4275]

I'm not so sure, he's a far better grappler than Gane so I can't see him getting subbed early, and Jon doesn't have one strike KO power either so I doubt there'd be an early finish for him that way. The only way I see Stipe getting finished early is if he has deteriorated massively from the Ngannou loss and the following time off, which could be the case.

[@imnotthatguy4765]

I think you’d be pleasantly surprised. Real respects real. If Jon has the balls to take on Tom at this stage of his career (which most people agree still ain’t gonna happen) then he’ll actually earn back the respect of the fans. If he then wins it, any true fan should happily congratulate Jon. (Assuming it’s not a judges robbery, NC due to eye pokes or something daft like that)
