[@KevinIole]

@@StoatLoxley You are correct that I should have said something. The reason I let it pass was time. I had 12 minutes (and went to 13) and when he said that, he was so adamant and clear that I didn’t think I’d get anything by pushing. Might have been the incorrect call, but that’s why I did what I did.

[@harveywhitehart1522]

@@KevinIole Damn Kevin that level of accountability and self reflection is amazing truly. Your interviews are fantastic and no one has that same relationship with the fighters as you do.

Jon jones never fought a high level goat fighter and a man of his size. Stipe will defend Jon's wrestling and outstrike him. He will deliver some great punches that cause series damage. Stipe will put a performance of a lifetime which will be too much for Jon and he is going to stop Jon Jones in championship round.

Tom ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.

[@ziongite]

I am Australian and I can still understand him, so the people claiming they can't understand him must be people that can't understand anything if it's slightly different from a very specific way of talking. I think some Americans are so insular they struggle to understand even British people etc, that's why we Australians and British can easily understand almost anyone speaking English (because we don't only listen to our own people speaking English, we listen to all different English accents etc).

i really hope Stipe wins. Jon Jones has definitely had a very successful fight career, but he's a hard person to like, I'd really love to see him humbled so he can't be as smug, Maybe my post will age badly and he wins, as expected by many and as i pray not to be the case, and is smug again. But I would really love for him to be beaten by a 42 year old fireman. But good guys finish last so he'll probably win and my life will go on
