      If they actually put this turd fight together it proves Dana does on occasion have ulterior motives outside of money/PPV numbers since this stipe vs Jones thing is the furthest thing from a money maker And the furthest from intriguing.

      @@itsreihart9865 Nope. Poirier will lose, but he hits hard, is active, showed in his last fight he can still hang even with young and hungry killers, and has hopefully learned from his mistakes from his last two title fights. He has a chance. Slight, but it's there.
      Stipe when he was 34 would've won this any day, but the man is 42 and by the time this fight actually happens won't have fought for 4-5 years, having lost his last fight by KO, which mostly happened due to being vastly underweight because of a torn retina from DC's eye pokes.
      Stipe is way past it. He's old and plagued by issues induced by injuries. He also just doesn't seem to want it anymore, and no one can blame him. He's the heavyweight GOAT, and he's happily retired.

      @markmullaney4279 Před 23 dny +1

      To be fair I haven’t seen he has refused to fight Tom. I think JJ just wants to get maximum amount of legacy and money from his remaining fights. Stipe is still considered the best HW of all time, so makes sense to beat him. And at the this stage of his career that feels eminently doable. Alex P is only getting better and could be a three weight champ in future so beating him now whilst your nan could take him down again helps give a large payday and boost legacy for minimal risk. Tom is still not well known outside of UK and is easily the most dangerous fight for John. I think it’s a simple risk / reward calculation. I don’t think Jon is scared he just doesn’t want to risk it unless there is an overwhelming threat to his legacy.

    • @bossfell
      @bossfell Před 23 dny +6

      @@markmullaney4279 I understand what you’re saying with Stipes accolades, and JJ not specifically “refusing” to fight him, but he’s totally dodging him though. If JJ wanted the maximum legacy right, why would he fight stipe at this point in time if the no one gives a shit about him beating someone we all knew he would beat? Years after the win people would say he beat an old stipe. Additionally why would he casually mention Alex’s name to the fans, basically asking if they’d want to see it? So by the looks of it, he would rather fight retiring stipe who hasn’t fought it was seems like eons, or Alex Peirera, who has a massive hole in his game we all know exists ( his wrestling ). His toughest fight would be the most well rounded, hungriest opponent at HW, and wouldn’t ya know it, Tom Aspinall checks those boxes, and is the interim champion. If JJ wanted to solidify his legacy the most he’d take out Tom Aspinall, shut everyone up, then retire.

      The stipe fight has been on the cards and "next" for a while now. When it was announced everybody wanted to see it, now you're saying it's in the way for Tom Aspinall.

Tom Aspinall has been on a very good winning streak bar a fluke injury loss, and has won an interim championship. If stipe miocic wants a title shot, he should fight real contenders like Tom did. Stipe Miocic was given an immediate rematch after the first DC loss, and you expected him to get another one after a one sided loss to ngannou? Doesn’t make any sense. Bottom line is, Tom Aspinall is the only guy in the heavyweight division worth a title shot, and every other fight besides him would be a cherrypick.

    I keep trying to imagine what a UFC event would look like in The Sphere, and it just seems so awkward to put the octagon against this curving half-dome backdrop that will probably have a large rectangle of the fight video feed above it. I guess in a way most everyone would have a decent view of the cage though.

    "Weather's great" he caught St. Louis on one of the most beautiful weather days ever, 70 degrees and sunny lmao it's not always great, in fact it usually sucks. That was a total stroke of luck. It's not clean either. I'm glad Dana is doing some good PR tho, hopefully they come back soon.

      @kg356 to be fair the crowd was pretty electric, given how mediocre the card was. Speaks well of the city in that respect. I'm just glad they're taking the show on the road again and getting out of the Apex.

      ​@@John632 there's always 2 to 3 questions that are off limit. They go no personal unless Dana allows and for this it seems Conor and Jones were off limit. The oscar/arum/hearn/Dom king were much worse. Even back in the day the wild west Don king would completely ignore questions and start ranting about how this is the great American dream

    People bringing up jones lightheavyweight record and past as a reason for him to be able to pick and choose but.. thats not how that works. Jones heavyweight record as champ is completely seperate. He hasnt proven anything and was gifted a title shot already. So now he needs to prove himself by fighting fighters who are.. oh idk.. NOT RETIRED. 🤦‍♂️ How deep do you gotta have jons junk in your mouth to justify this?

    • @Choom89

      100% Jones trying to retire at the age that most of his opponents were at is already ridiculous, to then call out a 42 year old who fought the men Jones was too scared to fight and be the one who is retiring is actually appalling.

    If Jones doesn't fight Aspinal his legacy will be tainted for sure. If he fights him win or lose it becomes a whole lot better than being a dodger.
