Miller on 300 is a great call. Unbelievable career, and he absolutely deserves a spot on that card.
Paddy vs Jim makes sense
I bet Dana had already planned for him to be on it. Makes perfect sense.
Too true! Winner of Paddy v T.Ferg vs Miller! Shut up and take my MONEY!
@@evanhughes9899 I think they could even give Miller the loser and it would still make sense. Either of those guys vs Miller win or lose would be decent for the card.
@@elvinkrigsman6956I personally only like it if it’s Tony versus Miller. If it’s Paddy I think he’s gotta fight a top 15 guy if he wins
bro just sorted out Jim Miller, what a man
Jim miller going to have to be missing a limb to miss that event out
Wym?
I'm guessing that was already Dana's plan.
@@EwMuvareach around
@@EwMuva ufc 300
Fair play to Catterall, he just got Jim Miller on the 300 card. Miller owes him a drink
Miller lite
@@georgemerry3555 that's good ffs 😆
Jim miller is a stud. So glad he beat Lyme disease & came back to absolutely kill it later in his career. Not just decisions, home boy is finishing dudes. I'm glad he'll b on 300. He deserves to b celebrated. Much respect
Aspinal should ONLY be fighting for the title at this point.
What's the rush?
@@iTzYoMasterXXthe fact he’s the sit in champion that’s proven himself as the top dog of his generation?
Why should Aspinal’s career suffer so Jones can keep boosting his legacy when Jones has already told us he’s intent on retiring?
Aspinal could have 2 title defences by the time Jones recovers… instead, he’ll have 0 and not even be undisputed champ, it’s disgusting
@@JohnSmith-lh1qtaspinall is getting shafted here. Ridiculous
He hasn't beat anyone yet stop
@@jimmyacostajr.6780well that's not strictly true 😅
As much as I do love Dana. I think he cares more about this Jones - Stipe fight than any of the fans do
Tickets don’t say that second biggest sales in Maddison since Conor and would do more if the fight didn’t get canceled
Tru, but I think its because Bones has a tiny list { 1 or 2 left } of who he will fight so Dana is going to try and pay some bills while he still has Jones on the roster.. Also, that tiny list does not include Aspinal or Pavlovich.
@@Hamzethegoatthat was before the aspinall fight 👍🏼
Speak for yourself I care about it and quite frankly both guys earned it. Tom can wait
@@michaelsalazar5092 he’s only 37. Time to fight. He avoided Stipe, cain, and the heavyweights for 10 years. Time to heal up and prove himself at heavyweight more than just stipe or one other. Alex pereira is older with more fights than jones.
And Adam never stepped foot in the war room again after that role play bit 😂
Scared to watch it from all the comments 😂
How painful 😅 it was in the realm of a Brett Okamoto interview
Adam loves a bit of cringe
Hahaa... yeah that was bad.
@@cabilgibbsAwkward man...
Stipe v Jones is a joke. Talk about respect, give Aspinall some respect. Man went and f@cked up number 2 ranked on 2 weeks notice to save a big card. Give him Stipe.
Stipe doesn’t want anyone but jones, jones doesn’t want anyone but stipe. They either make Aspinall start fighting the rest of the division or he waits until that fight is done and both retire.
@@rhysjones1108 If they only want to fight eachother let them fight and sail off into the sunset for all I care. Doesn't have to hold up the division though. The UFC move the goalposts too much nowadays to accommodate for the needle rather than the sport. Same sh!t with Colby's title shot. But if the UFC are going to die on that hill, I would like to see Aspinall v Gane or the Aspinall v the winner of Almeida/Blaydes if the fight is later in the year (ideally Blaydes just to right the wrong from the injury) in Manchester. No chance I'm buying Jones v Stipe, hope the numbers tank.
He can have almeyda if jones is unavailable
Almeida or Gane
@@stackmosayless-1669 or blaydes rematch if he could beat almeida
I dont see the reasoning why Jones and Stipe "Deserve" to fight eachother ahead of Aspinall. Deserve is such a compicated word. Nobody deserves anything unless they earn it. How has a guy whos fought once at Heavyweight and another guy who lost his last fight years ago earned the right to be at the top of the pile? Meanwhile Aspinall is fighting anyone he can get his hands on at short notice and saving cards and he gets told to wait. Its absolutely stinks
Aspinal should fight curtis and clear that up first
Because Jones is the best MMArtist ever and Stipe is the best HW ever, which means he is better than Jones, but then Jones is the best, so he is better than Stipe...but Jones is the best, and so is Stipe (just pretend not to notice that Stipe can barely walk.) Got it now?
That Mickey Mouse interim belt means nothing. It was a fill-in fight and a marketing move to keep the MSG card together.
@@mrspiff6955🤣
He’s beaten tougher competition at heavyweight than Jones has…
If the interim is a Micky mouse belt then undisputed is a scooby doo belt… a damn imposter
See I think aspinall would have problems with stipe
Aspinall vs Miocic makes so much sense. Would be a great fight for 300
With any luck the passage of time and the mounting fan pressure before April will make Dana strip Jon Jones.
Maybe another injury complication or setback which makes his title sitting more controversial will tip the balance.
The problem is we’ve only got less than 12 weeks.
UFC300 is never getting announced beyond February.
makes 0 sense for miocic
@@DeterminedFC really? He beats Aspinall the Jones fight is gonna be HUGE
That role play def went better in your head 😂 Great interview as always bro
bro.. haha.. that was.. oh man. I felt embarassed just sitting here.
Ditto. Adam normally hits everything out of the park but I felt a bit of third person embarrassment for him on that one.
What minute was that
@@danedwadd628:15
@@danedwadd6208:07
the role playing was a weird move 😂
The fans want Aspinall fighting for gold.
Only the uk fans
@@DavidWied Jones is holding up the division for months. Obviously he's got no decency to let go the belt.
Or Gane
@@ixparadimeix92 he had a shot v Jones and completly chocked.
Blud just sorted Miller out 🔥💯
Good shout for Jim Miller on 300
Dana’s face on 8:23 🤣🤣 I can’t cope
The interview guy is toe curling corny, an absolute embarrassment of a guy.
That was weird 😂😂😂
@@ventsikovachev made my toes curl 🤣🤣
He didn't like that one bit hahahaha
why he tryna be a harda$$ ceo he needs to lighten up
Man it annoys me how the ufc treat Jones. I really don’t think most fans are bothered by Stipe v Jones
despite Jones' private life issues, only very green fans don't recognize what type of fighter Jon Jones is. Those that are not bothered by Stipe vs Jones, might wanna rewatch the fights of those two from the and their journey with UFC alone
Jones prefers to fight Stipe over anyone else, Stipe WILL NOT fight anyone other than Jones. Dana's doesnt have much choice tbf
@@romankotyk6942facts!! Jones is The Goat.
It’s a fake fight
Its a fight for dana to try and prove he has the best heavyweight in the world and its not Francis. He's pinning the goat against a man who has a win over Francis. This is ego move
Great interview, Adam has stepped up and become a likable face of BT UFC coverage after Dan left
I really want to find someone actually still interested in the Jones v Stipe fight. Even when the fight got cancelled I was infinitely more excited about the Tom v Pav fight.
Now that we have to wait even longer for it it’s just going to feel more and more anticlimactic by the time the fight actually comes around.
The UFC has always moved with the times better than any other sports organisation. But on this subject this is one of those rare times that I feel they’re going in the wrong direction.
Nope there is a reason why. Aspinall is young he will still get more fights to come.
People will still buy Jones vs Stipe. The card will be stacked. And plz don't count out Stipe. He is a hw legend. Not seeing him for 3 yrs doesn't mean he will be uncompetitive.
@@ufcfanatic8178 Jon Jones will run through him. Unfortunately stipe time has passed him by Jon is just a say past his prime. By the time they fight it will be 3 plus years since stipe fought and he will be what 43 or something its crazy.
I won't be buying that one out of principle. I've maybe missed 2 PPV's in the last few years. This will definitely be the third.
Right here. I’m interested
Jim Miller is so stoked. 😂
he didnt really role play with the boss did he?
Boss Dana casually saying hey call Mick & Hunter tell em Jim Miller is on UFC 300. Done. Now that's a boss right there
Mark of a true Alpha. Much respect to Dana for this (and to Adam for putting it out there). Him and Nick have spoken about it so many times on the podcast but I’m glad he had the balls to bring it up in an interview environment.
Get Aspinall to the new Co Op arena in Manchester next year, will be the biggest arena in the UK
I think Dana is star-struck on Stipe V Jones. In three years, neither of them will be considered the greatest heavyweight of all time.
beli*** dat!
It's a double retirement fight. Stipe will likely still be goat in three years. Heavyweight is hell difficulty.
Aspinall Vs Jones or we riot. We don't want that senior citizen fighting for the belt
I agree but there’s no point complaining bout this all the time the ufc clearly ain’t scraping that fight accept it
Stipe is 1-1 against Francis and beat DC twice...
I remember when Francis pulled out, JJ called stipe for title fight but they said gane deserves it.. JJ beats gane and calls out stipe, they say JJ ducked sergei by calling out stipe.. Tom beats sergei and now he's the real threat 😂
Why not alistair overeem? Didn't he beat Sergie too 😅
@@THUGPUTIN In Stipe’s last fight he lost in the wrestling, only landed one strike that was meaningful; right before he borderline died.
Don’t try and tell me he’s a threat at this point
@@JDCovahyou can’t say that though francis has nuclear missiles attached. jones getting old too and is a lot more prone to getting cocky or emotional
Riot then it not going to matter 😂
Oh my god when he told Danny let's pretend I'm aspinall was soooooo cringe..look at Dana's face when he said that 😂
8:21 Danas face 🤣🤣🤣
Great vid
Big up adam.
Cant wait for Saturday
Genuinely one of the most comfortable and entertaining interviews… absolutely crushed it
I love these 2 together. Great interview.
Real sport means Aspinall should fight Stipe for the crack at jones. Jones vs Stipe has turned into a kind of testimonial. No one really cares now other than the ufc and Jones and stipe.
And Dana said minutes earlier that "the best fight the best".
@@sisdl15 Also I think it makes the Jones fight even bigger no matter who wins out of aspinall and stipe.
It really would then be for the greatest undisputed heavyweight championship.
6:36 that’s rich coming from Khabib. The guy is known for pulling out of how many fights and missing weight how many times?
officially missed weight once I believe, and pulled out of a fight like 3-4 times
Conor fanboy spotted
@@fatezero1919 Khabib meatrider triggered over some hard truths
Dana probably mistook Islam for Khabib, after all it was Islam's quote he painted on the wall
@@iacovoskritz4896i’m pretty sure Dana misspoke because thats what Islam said not Khabib
Why didnt Adam mention he wanted Dana to be fired after slapping his wife!? He was very critical of him at the time
Wtf does his wife or that slap have to do anything with his role at UFC?
@@oldPanummmmm....everything
That unconcious disrespect of mixing Khabib for Islam on the quote 😂
Khabib said it first
I don't know why Dana is stuck on this Jones Stipe fight. He keeps saying the fans want it but IMO the majority of fans that I talk to would much rather see Jones fight Aspinall. Honestly right now the fight to make with Jones out is Aspinall and Stipe. Once Aspinall sleeps 41 year old Stipe, then Jones has no where to go but through Aspinall. Stipe vs Jones makes about as much sense as Connor fighting for the welterweight title right now. Ask 100 fight fans who Jones should fight next and 99 of them will say Tom Aspinall. The one that said Stipe is Dana White🤣
Way to get Jim Miller on the card, bro deserves to be on ufc 300. That's pretty historic
Jim Miller will be the opening fight of UFC 300. We may also see Adesanya, Jones & McGregor on that card too. Guaranteed to be stacked
This interviewer did an amazing job, absolute spot on with questions! I loved this interview.
Nice one for looking out for miller, well played. I'm wonder if 300 will be placed in the sphere. That would be mental.
Definitely be in the sphere
No it won't be in the Sphere due to technical challenges of placing octagon and audience area management. UFC300 will either be in T-Mobile in Las Vegas or MSG.
They have booked the sphere for the Mexican Independence Day event i believe
@@tomwarnock9266 they planning to have it there if the technical aspects can be sorted out. Haven't booked it.
This was a really great interview.
We want to see Jones vs Aspinal...ir Aspinal vs Stipe
stipe is great but fedor always has been the greatest hw of all time
Yessss so happy about Jim Miller
Dana wont realise how much Manchester has changed since the last UFC visit! This was a stonking interview, really enjoyed it!
I've never been to a UFC event and I would love nothing more than to one day go to one
It’s amazing
I when once it amazing buddy 🎉
Bro thinks Dana's gonna read this and give him free tickets
@@MasterMac91 not at all. I don't ask for handouts. I live in michigan and they never come here
Go to a Salt Lake City card. Worth the flight. 291 was insane!!
There is nothing exciting about jones v stipe. Am I the only thinking that??!!!!!!!……..
Where's the preview show
Adam is unique, he can challenge and placate these promoters in the same breath, very skilled interviewer
Aspinall vs Gane/Almeida Manchester Main event would be brilliant!
Almeyda is win win for fans while gane after jones loss has lost a bit of his authority
Buzzing for this one
What a great interview 👌
I think this is card of the year tbh; one of the best ever IMO
Almost positive when he was talking about Ireland he was talking about Callum Walsh fighting. Still great either way.
Bro really sorted out Jim!!!! Yes
great interview
For Jim miller to be on 100,200,300 is crazy! I love watching Jim Miller he’s always brought it
Aspinall should definitely have a title shot next considering how he dominated Sergei. It's sad that we have to wait for Jones to fight some retired fighter who probably won't stand a chance due to being out for so long. It's ironic and funny how people (including Rogan) go on saying fighters who sit out for long periods usually perform badly (Rogan just said this when he talked to MPMD about Conor). Yet here we are with people thinking Miocic actually has a chance, which he does but not too much imo since he's been out for so long. At this point I just want the fight to be done and over with so both can retire and Aspinall can rightfully have that belt and the HW division isn't frozen and treated like trash like it has been for a long long time. I don't see how people can be excited about Jones vs Miocic since Stipe has been gone for so long. Blahh personally I would love to see Miocic win just so there's a huge upset and of course Dana would probably be shattered which is always nice to see (His face when Strickland won is priceless).
Won’t be buying stipe vs jones old man fight
The biggest "Meh" fight since Joshua vs Otto Wallin
Waste of time fight
Looool true (I’ll still watch)
Don’t doubt stipe :|
But however u will watch it for free 😂
I will tune in for Tony a real legend and we will see how Goggins will perform.❤
Jim Miller in UFC 300 really needs to hapoen. Been saying it for weeks.
That's a world record in itself.
Who from that era can say that today ?
Get the badge in son 💪🏼
Dana White has an aura that influences who ever is interviewing him, No one dares to ask him the question he don't want to answer , dude is savage.
He's built that aura by being a petulant baby who bans any journalist that asks him challenging or critical questions from his events
@@Eilfylijokul That is true
Jones vs Stipe just doesn’t have the appeal it did before people seen Stipe walk into the arena looking like he was 3000 years old, I get why they will do it though for a legacy stand point but it’s not going to be competitive
YESSS JIM MILLER ON UFC 300! Can't believe that wasn't on Dana's radar! That's crazy
Best in the biz meets boss of the biz❤
The matchmakers do a great job in the last 3 years
I get butterflies when I hear Dana talk about these fights!! LFG
I’m still interested in Jones vs Stipe fight
Give aspinall the fight ❤
Put some respect on Leon Edwards! I feel the UFC as a whole can't wait for him to lose his title! He's unbeaten in like what 8 years? Just because he isn't flashy and cocky. Two English champs and Leon's earnt more respect!
There has to be a Birmingham card. It’s annoying as hell how it just gets skirted by when Till gets to fight in Liverpool.
The fight is Aspinall Jones. Everyone and their dog knows it. Jones Stipe does not make sense.
Ye but stipe was supposed to fight and Jones got injured …
MAKES SENSE FOR MAKING MONEY AND UFC KNOW THAT
Adam’s done miller an absolute solid there
"Welcome back to tnt sports" while they're in the war room lol😅 shoulda said thank u for having us back in the war room.
Just fist pumped the air when I heard Dana say he’s coming back to Ireland 🇮🇪 👊🏼
If Stipe was such an all time great and really “the best HW” ever people would actually still be excited to see him vs Jones. Fedor vs Jones would’ve been the biggest fight in MMA 5-7 years ago when fedor was still old as hell.
What a guy Dana is making that promise 👌🏼
This interview is lit
Aspinal Vs Jones is the fight that has to happen next. Utterly ridiculous to put Miocic in that slot. What's the point of the interim title if the holder doesn't go up against the champ at the earliest opportunity.
Aspinal deserves a title shot
Adam caterall is without a shadow of doubt the most knowledgeable mma pundit in the UK and boxing also and should be protected netter on talksport from bullies like Tyson and frank
Jones vs aspinall plzzz plzzz make it happen
All I heard is Belal in the prelim fight 11:48 😭😭
So we just not doing the preview show anymore?…
BRING BACK THE PREVIEW SHOW WITH BISPING, NICK AND ADAM!!!!
Am I the only one who would rather see Jon Jones fight Tom Aspinall rather than Stipe? 🤔 I honestly don't care about the Jones Stipe fight.
Ok 8.25 minutes into the interview. Dana talks about British fighters past and present, which is in the UFC. He mentions Bisping , Mc Gregor, and the Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall. Nothing is mentioned about Leon Edwards who is a legit undisputed Welterweight Champion. Not interim but undisputed! Thats interesting.
Yh and funny thing is Mcgregor’s not even British
And he’s fighting this weekend so it’s not like he’s not on the mind
He Should do a football stadium in the uk with Leon Edwards, tom apsinal, paddy, a few other biggish names from the UK and a stacked undercard card and am sure it would be filled to roof
What a way to absolutely mess up a perfectly fine interview ‘let’s role play and I’ll be Tom ‘
Doesnt the UFC have to offer each fight 3 fights per year? What is aspinall gonna get offered?
He’s talking about taking Ian Gary to Ireland 👍
Dana, no real fans want Jones VS Old Stipe anymore...Aspinal VS Jones is the FIGHT!!!
Absolutely love tnt sports and everyone involved. Never role play again 😂
Dana’s so chill
Have Tom fight winner of blades/jailton on the same card with Leon and Muhammad as the co main
Catterall in a Stone Island sat with Dana in the War room, never thought I'd see the day 👍
I will scratch off the interim belt and put in the BMF belt. Have one in every weight class. Give to BMF belt a purpose. We just have one belt that's been sitting for almost 3 years now. Justin has it and there's no talk about it
Nah
I was gonna go on vacation next year, have my tickets book,
Im cancel it, and book my flights again for ufc 300
Before I played the video I was thinking to myself... "Why is Michael Rapaport interviewing Dana White"? Then I played it and its an English bloke... I was so damned confused, I thought Rapaport lost weight! hahahaha
How does Stipe deserve the title shot?
He hasn't fought since March 2021, in a fight he lost to Ngannou.
Stipe deservs a shot at tom for the intrum belt.... if he can take that he deserves a shot at jones
Why does Stipe deserve it over the other heavyweights that have been active over the last few years?
@@robinwolstenholme6377 I am ok with him fighting Tom but let's not pretend like he deserves that fight either.
So freaking excited for Saturday. I am fully expecting Covington to win, but I’m just so pumped for the whole card. Can’t wait to watch it.
Im from the future...Covington loses in decision
@@InnerLuminosityif it goes 5 rounds colby will out gas him Leon always gets tired Colby doesn’t
The future doesn't exist yet.@@InnerLuminosity
I sort of forgot about it and now it is close 🙂 The press conference will be insane.
Leon has a chance to KO Colby, but that's the only chance he's got
Because probably Stipe said that this is his last fight, and i belive Jones also, so that actually makes sense. 2 best fight last fight of their career😉
