"This audiobook is reaching for those grapes, it tries to make wine and it's already sounding like a violin with that cheese and wine" Tito Ortiz, Thespian virtuoso
Jones has a great chin. We’ve seen him eat some nasty shots and continue unfazed. However, him actively threatening to eye poke should not be overlooked. Watch his fight with anyone including rampage and you will see that he is right. He is almost actively trying to poke you in the eyes. Jones even admitted on video that he does it and will continue to do it until the ref does something about it which has never happened in his entire career. Match one of the longest reaches in UFC history with a person actively trying to eye poke you and you’re going to find it very hard to close the distance on him
There's truth to it though. Jon doesn't like getting hit. He isn't the kind of fighter to walk through the fire, and any fighter that brough it to him with range or range management had success (Gustafson, Machida, Reyes). All cracked Jon with hands and he didn't like it.
@nnnjh8372but then Jon should relinquish the belt and they should go off and do there fight and let the division continue. It kills the integrity of the sport and what’s made it the best over the last decade
Tom is irrelevant to the legends and long time fans that were fans when Jon actually won the light heavy weight belt. We've seen him best so many champs , top contenders , hype trains and everyone one more person like Tom means nothing🤷🏾♂️
He’s really not though, jones 6’4” 250 lbs. aspinal 6’5” 265 lbs, that’s not that big of a difference. You also have to take into account jones has a 84.5 inch reach while toms is 78 inch reach. 6.5 inch reach advantage is pretty significant
Right now Aspinall beats both Stipe and Jon. He is young, hungry and destroys everyone including Pavlovich that they put in front of him. Jon and Stipe haven't fought in years.
Good question. Stipe knows that Tom should be getting the fight, but he isn't going to give this opportunity up. Sucks for Tom but Stipe doesnt have any control over this. Jon wants to fight him and he's not going to just say "nahhh, give it to Tom". He's wanted a piece of Jones for a long time and was ready for him to move up.
@@MuhGlassRibs It's not really ducking when he's waiting on the biggest fight of his career. It sucks for Tom, but Stipe has nothing to win. No legacy, not the real belt, and not even the money he gets from the Jones fight.
Yeah, Stipes the least to blame in this situation. Jons the one with the belt. The responsibility falls on him to fight the best. Stipe at this point is a prizefighter. Jon in both monetarily terms and prestige. Is the biggest prize.
6 years ago when Stipe was in his prime, and Francis was much less experienced and punched himself out within 2 minutes. Jones is not fighting that guy.
@@taikamiya8214 No. He just got completely outwrestled. He gassed because he couldn’t defend or read the takedowns. Stipe was better than him that night. No excuses.
And also never forget how he whined about how the UFC doesn't respect him, but now he is completely OK with UFC disrespecting Tom , and actively participates in that
@@ShredForth Nope... Francis opened out Round 1 by throwing 68 power shots in the first round, throwing nothing but lunging haymakers from half way across the cage, but Stipe was smart... he saw that the inexperienced Francis was chasing the knock out and decided to wait for him to slow down, which he did... by half way through the round, Francis was completely gassed and Stipe dominated the rest of the fight. In the second fight Francis with his usual style... fighting at a slow pace, and waiting for openings, and during this fight Francis was able to display the same high level takedown defense he showed against Blaydes, by defending all of Stipe's takedown attempts with ease, and picking Stipe apart on the feet.
It's the most shameful thing in the UFC in a long while preventing Tom from fighting for the title, on top of that Jon is holding up the division for more than a year and on top of that the INTERIM champ doesn't get an immediate shot ones Jones is back, it's such big bs it's amazing really.
Dana is protecting Jones at all costs. He wants to say that his lil GOAT is undefeated, which technically isn’t true. Any other fighter woulda been stripped of the HW title and any other fighter that had done the things that Jon has done over the years woulda been fired a long time ago. I’m not saying it would be easy, but at this stage of their careers Aspinal beats Jon and definitely Stipe
It's because 2 legends in their own right are battling! Either they will both retire or 1 will retire. We all like Aspinall but us old heads would rather see Stipe vs. Jones 1st then they can open the gates back up after that.
tbh it seems like there's a big wrestling deficiancy in the heavyweight devision at the moment. Jons last two fights at LHW were very unnimpressive. I think he was getting figured out and it was only a matter of time before he was slept. I think he thinks he can wrestle fuck a few heavyweights. And ride off into the sunset calling himself the GOAT. Tom proposses a legitimate threat to that.
@@thenewyearsgrinchhe wasn’t getting figured out lol stfu. He was getting old. Heavyweights last longer look at stipe he’s 41 and yeah jones will wrestle everyone in the heavyweight division and including Tom. They won’t ever fight he’s fighting stipe and then retiring
@@dragonballsuper1519 Nobody said that you raging casual. Ngannou outwrestled Gane with a torn-ACL so it's pretty obvious what Jones was going to do. But don't let facts get in the way off your blatant dickriding.
Not really. Stipe wants to fight for the real belt as originally planned. Jones is arguably the goat so why would Stipe want to fight Aspinall now as he's not ranked #1 p4p and doesn't have the real belt? Stipes also the most winningest UFC HW of all time so Jones can put that on his record.
@@xNSHDdude Tom been around for a long ass time… first time I seen him fight was vs Arlovski and that was a while ago.. he’s whooped a lot of ass since then.
@@unclejunior2668 long time? He fought Arlovski in 2021 lol, jones been talking about fighting stipe since 2019… it’s the whole reason he made the move to heavyweight.
They just mean if the relationship between ngannou and white hadn’t soured then eventually they would have fought each other. Not that hard to figure out
@@MuhGlassRibsYeah no lhw fighter goes anywhere near 265 it’s not possible cause the weigh ins the day before. Even alex pereira only goes up 220. There’s a reason why the stats show HW having so much more tkos than any other class. Any good hw fighter is at least 240. Also Francis is a striker and he got kod in striking. He’s not known for wreslting or kicking. Literally a boxer. He only didn’t get kod cause he rarely gets hit but when he did get got kod twice.
😂😂😂😂 whats there to be scared of? Aspinall is a hype train and id put my house on jones rag dolling him till he quit. Who exactly has aspinall beat? Especially compared to who jones has beat but yet you think he's scared. Casual talk at its finest.
@@jonathan2755 why is he avoiding the fight. Aspinall is ranked 1º right now, that answers ur question. But still, If Jones is so confident to win, why not fight the best fighter as soon as possible? Your consider urself the Nº1 but dont wanna fight the actual Nº1? Why. Ask urself, why do you think Jones wants to retire. Btw, expert, u gotta beat an old fighter before beating one? That makes a lot of sense.
@@jonathan2755 are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? The UFC/Dana wants the Jon vs Stipe fight no matter what. Even if Stipe would get injured today, I don’t believe that Jon would accept the backup fighter, do you? Other fighters were stripped off their belts by now. I’d be amazed if Jon would agree to fight Tom at all to be honest. Why put his legacy on the line in the autumn of his career?
42 years old, hasn’t fought in three years, coming off a knockout. Like he said he doesn’t care about the belt. The guys just fighting for a payday. I don’t blame Jon Jones for wanted this scalp. And then Alex. He’s maximizing the limited amount of time left in his career
I love Stipe but there’s absolutely nothing in the universe that can convince me he’s a tougher fight for Jones than Tom is. Jon can make every excuse in the book as to why Stipe is tougher, I ain’t buying it, he’s lying his ass off. He wants easier, more lucrative fight.
I don’t think either Jones or Stipe are afraid of Tom or ‘don’t want the smoke’, but 100% neither of them want the risk. Stipe doesn’t want to risk the lower PPV purse, he wants a guaranteed payout against Jones… and Jones wants the easy ‘legacy’ fight to retire on a high note, and doesn’t want to risk losing to Tom. The prospect of a win over Tom isn’t worth the risk for him. All of this would be fine if they weren’t both criminally holding up the division and allowing the UFC to turn into boxing, where it’s all about exhibition.
@@gentlemandemon it’s MMA literally anything can happen. Every fight is a risk, but not wanting the smoke implies the fighter is doesn’t fancy their odds against that opponent
Jon Jones. Stipe Miocic. Both men paid the price and achieved rare legendary status. Both men are now in their twilight. They've earned the right to fight each other with a title on the line. Are they holding up Tom from being a champion? Yes. Is Tom being champion faster more important than showing these 2 legends the respect they deserve? No. Is it fair to Tom? No. But Tom has 6-8 years ahead of him. Jon and Stipe have 6-12 months. Stipe, Jon and the UFC are playing this right. A Jon / Tom fight is even bigger next year if Jon beats Stipe. It will also be a bigger money fight for both Tom and Jon then.
Jon straight up lost to Reyes. Should have never fought for the HW title. Shouldn’t keep it if he’s dodging for money fights. The UFC is quickly becoming a joke. Less sport more “legacy” “money” fights. Both Stipe and Jon have no business being even top 5 HW. Might as well just make Jake Paul fight for the title next.
Jones is like this ultimate competitor. Sociopathic, manipulative, heartless. It's not like most of fighters who'd be worried not to cripple someone by hyperextending their knees or blinding someone for life. Jones is just that guy
Crazy cause Jon devotes his life to God which if he's real (he's not) Aspinall would have a better chance of getting in heaven 🤣 hasn't hit & run a pregnant woman, hasn't beat his wife, done A, B & C
@@Mcfc2Richdude he’s the goat and he’d spank Tommy. I can’t stand jones but u delusional people give me no choice but to defend him and I fuckin hate it
@@josip342ong stipe is completely innocent imo. Why fight tom for less money, more risk, less legacy? He was given a super fight so why wouldn't he take it?
@@watchmanonthewall14 it’s a nothing fight though, he should be in with a big name or Jon jones specifically to solidify the belt holder one way or another
Also wasup Q? 901 in the house buddy! Memphis needs more dudes like you. I feel you on getting out though. I ain't finna stay much longer either. Cheers bro!
I’m only going to come here when he fights Cyril, Cyril is going to make him look like child, Tom talks too much , let him not make that mistake to fight Cyril please.
Stipe is an absolute legend and i just found out hes a firefighter what a guy. And as for Tom hes likable not arrogant i know alot of Americans say hes shit but they say that about everyone. I wish Tom all the best hes a lads lad and aint into veing fony
*...Now after Jones highlight spinning body kick KO him. Stipe was an old man is the new narrative.* *And the new Gustafson> Tom Aspinall, Jones is running from.* Jones is the G.O.A.T. deal with it.
Jon will submit Stipe round 1 or 2 , i dont even understand why this fight is happening... Stipe havent fought in ages and he is like 325 years old , easiest fight in Jon´s career
@@vladimir4526 you are right too, Jones is at that DC age now. DC beat stipe when he was like 40 , 5-6 Years ago. Imagine what jon will do to stipe at this age... Sure jon is older , but im just saying..
Which begs the question , how can someone have the title and not defended it for so long ? If Bones beats Stipe , then retires , does that make him a great heavyweight champion , I don't think so .
Genuine question, are ufc fighters allowed to fight eachother outside of ufc. For example in a gym? Like proper fight?? Not sparring. Or is there legal issues around it?
This isn't just about the belt, Tom will be the champ and he'll be for a few years, everyone with eyes knows it. The Stipe vs Jones fight is for legacy and money, and it's the UFC using his shots to make a good PPV. Ngl, I want this fight and will pay to watch it, and that's why they are totally right about doing it; we the fans have all the power here.
@@maestrovonhuge9397 fight Matchmakers make fights to fill seats John Jones could have fought many High Caliber fighters but has not I Hope Stipe puts him out of his misery of being put off so long Jones is good but I follow this Shit Jones has been beat Judges are like politicians and can be bought
Nah jones would beat him in a decently competitive fight. Hes ducking but hes objectively better. He has a longer reach, better wins, is more malicious with his style, has more experience,and is proven to be able to go 5 rounds.
The fact that people still underestimate Jones is astounding. Aspinall is a great fighter, but even now, if Jon takes training seriously, he'd demolish him. Jon is past his prime but even with that being the case, no fucking way Aspinal walks thru him.
Aspinall fans are ridiculous. Jones has earned the right over his dominant career to fight Stipe if he wants over the current flavor of the month who doesn’t have any massive wins yet. His fan base has me pulling for Curtis Blaydes for the first time ever.
@@ohlord3650 what a moronic comeback, you know perfectly well as I do that ur idol Steroidheadbones is ducking Tom, instead he'll fight stipe Who Last fought march 2021 and got absolutely flatlined.
Jon has been hit with some serious shots and never been rocked. The guy did fight alot of competitors that were quite a bit smaller, but the dude has been hit very hard and never buckled.
@@badmontingz1219 I think he's saying the fight should have happened 'years ago' as in back in 2018, but Jones waited so long that he's now demanding a fight with a 42yo retiree who hasn't won a fight in 4+ years (and who is coming off a brutal KO loss). Not to mention that Jones has now called-out the guy who got outwrestled and held-down by 185lb kickboxer Izzy - the man is willing to fight anyone as long as they're a 4-1+ underdog, and not the literal interim-champion who is a slight favourite to beat him
@@jamesthompson9003 John fought at light heavyweight 4 times in 2018, 2019, n early 2020 so when was a heavyweight bout suppose to happen in 2018... after his fight in 2020 he clearly stated he was taking yrs off to properly put on the weight... then after 1 fight, preparing for stipe rips his peck tendon... the problem is ppl don't understand that fighters timelines in there careers don't always lineup n it's really no one's fault
@Harry-hh1is You sound like Jon Jones desperately trying to justify fighting 42yo who hasn't won a fight in 4 years, because of who Stipe was beating back in 2015-2018. Of course anyone can rattle off all of Dom Cruz's achievements, but if O'Malley was turning down a BW interim-champ (lets say Merab/Umar/Cory) and demanding the fight with BW-Goat Cruz, then everyone would be right to say he was ducking
@Harry-hh1is Werdum, Hunt, Nelson, Overeem, Ngannou, DC twice, JDS. What of it? That was literally all 7-14 years ago... I was the biggest Stipe fan and hope to GOD that he sends Jon's duckhead into orbit since that'd be the most brutally poetic karma for Jon ducking Tom so hard all we hear is quacks only for Stipe to do to him exactly what Jon knows Tom would, but I just don't see it happening. Stipe looked bad in that third DC fight despite winning, and he looked far worse against Ngannou in the rematch. Way too light, hesitant, bad judgement with the takedown, no more of that slick head movement, no killer instinct, no willingness to plant his feet and sit down on his shots to make Ngannou stop headhunting, just none of it. He looked done. He's the 265 GOAT, and has had 20+ years of combat sports. He's empty. It's alright. I wish him a great final payday and retirement win or lose. But let us just stop pretending that he's a competitive 265 top contender right now. He isn't. I'm just happy he's fighting Jon and not Tom or Pavlovich, because those two men DAMAGE people when they take them out, whereas Jon just gently kisses them a bit for a decision win. Worst case he submits them. Neither causes lasting damage.
@Harry-hh1is he didnt actually lose though did he it was an injury that wasn’t even made by Curtis, his heavyweight resume is better than Jons You’re reaching there..
Jon has been hit clean by alot of great strikers and never been really hurt or knocked down, definitely has a chin. Hesvyweights crack different though, we havent seen it tested
Casual here 😬 Why can't Jon and Stipe fight, and drop the belt. I didn't hear Stipe talking about the title, it was just about fighting Jon. Let them get it on but in the meantime, let the up-and-comers compete for the belt?
Cause the longer someone has a belt, his fights are more relevant = more money for everyone. Knowing this, the UFC lets him pick the fights he thinks he can win. This case is extreme so its showing the reality. Remember fighting its not only a sport, its also a business.
Jones will most definitely retire after this and pretend like his heavyweight era was the most significant thing a fighter could do despite facing a heavyweight who should have stayed in kickboxing and ducks more people than jones and a heavyweight who's not far from 50 and hasn't won a fight in 4 years.
I love the comment section claiming Jon and stipe are scarred of Tom 😂... these guys have fought killer after killer for 15 years. Could Tom win ? Yes everyone has a chance. But most ppl don't understand the mindset of a goat like Jon or the heavy weight goat stipe. They ain't scared of no man... everybody said the same thing oh Jon is scarred of gane n Jon walked him. Like dc said Jon jones isn't scarred of Francis... these guys are not scarred of anyone there programmed differently then the rest of us
Jones hardly walked Gane down. Lmfao. Do you even know what that means?? He got kicked in the nutts once and then decided to take him down. Jon was NEVER gonna stand with Gane.
@@SchecterIsKING watch the fight again Jon literally walks gane down for a min. Then jon dodges a punch n takes him down.. " Jon is controlling the center of the octagon" -joe rogan ... when gane is stepping back on the back foot and Jon is literally walking forward the whole time, that is the literal definition of walking someone down... watch the fight n then don't be shy to admit sometimes u can get it wrong.
@@SchecterIsKING oh n come to think of it; I never said he walked him down. I said walked him meaning made it look easy like a walk in the park ... but I had to go watch all 2 mins of the fight to confirm he did actually walk him down Jon went forward every second of the fight
None of them wanna take on the REAL threat looming over the H.W.D right now .... Tom Aspinal is a genetic throwback to an absolute Saxon Stomper .. & tbh , the natural & inevitable progression in the evolution of the sport .... Literally the new breed . Man can only be denied for so long . He has finished 6 of the top 10 within a minute . Enough said . 🇬🇧☝🏻👑❤️🔥💪🏻
if stipe would have taken the aspinall fight, it would be a clear cut #1 contender but stipe ducked it because he has no confidence that he would have won
Stipe? Lmfao sit down, casual. The blame is wholly on Jon. Stipe even literally said that he doesn’t care about the belt and that they don’t even have to fight for the belt. You’d know that if you actually paid attention and didn’t just talk out of your ass and pretend to be smart 😂
@@edwardallan5633Aspinal is only "interim champ" because UFC needed a belt on the line to step in and save the card when Jones was hurt. He can wait his turn.
@handzofstone1152 puss boy miocic was scared and yes he does care for the belt. if he didnt he would have left the shadowrealm that ngannou sent him to
I don't know if Jones has a weak chin, but it definitely means he's less used to dealing with people who can stay close distance and keep the pressure on. Who knows who could actually do that and avoid damage though
Both in their primes, Bones beats Stipe. But Bones has fallen further. Age doesn't matter in comparison to Bones partying for years- & no longer young to get away with it. He was also slow & clumsy vs Gane, but Gane had a grappling deficiency.
It’s hard to argue this fight taking place isnt indicative of a sclerotic system in place in the ufc. Remember when fights were made based upon rankings and it was like a legitimate sport?
There is *always* an up-and-comer who is going to be the next big thing and who everyone up the chain is supposedly ducking. Given the calibre of guys that both Jones and Stipe have fought, I doubt that they are ducking him. They are both bigger names than Aspinall, with greater legacy than Aspinall, and it's understandable that they want to face each other.
Can you name anyone on Jones' LHW run who was an 'up-and-comer' younger than him? There is literally only 1, and it's Dom Reyes, who beat Jones pretty easily. Also the only 'legacy' you get calling out a 42yo who hasn't won a fight in 4+ years (and coming off a brutal KO loss 3.5 years earlier) is the legacy of ducking the HW-champ Aspinall. Do you find it suspicious that Jones is calling out Sitpe/Alex, these 4-1 underdogs, while refusing to even mention the HW-champ, who is a slight-favourite to beat him?

@@thenewyearsgrinchhe wasn’t getting figured out lol stfu. He was getting old. Heavyweights last longer look at stipe he’s 41 and yeah jones will wrestle everyone in the heavyweight division and including Tom. They won’t ever fight he’s fighting stipe and then retiring
@@dragonballsuper1519 Nobody said that you raging casual. Ngannou outwrestled Gane with a torn-ACL so it's pretty obvious what Jones was going to do. But don't let facts get in the way off your blatant dickriding.
@@dragonballsuper1519 Gane either has never trained any grappling in his life or he took a dive idc
If the champ avoiding u than u probably the real champ
I'd say so. Ducky Jones is king of duck pond. But Tom Aspinall is the king of the division.
Man Tom Aspinall has become the fighter everyone is avoiding, the toughest challenge at Heavyweight right is Aspinall. 👏👏👏👏💯
hes been here 5 minutes in the MMA game. he will lose within his next 3.
Not really. Stipe wants to fight for the real belt as originally planned. Jones is arguably the goat so why would Stipe want to fight Aspinall now as he's not ranked #1 p4p and doesn't have the real belt? Stipes also the most winningest UFC HW of all time so Jones can put that on his record.
@@xNSHDdude Tom been around for a long ass time… first time I seen him fight was vs Arlovski and that was a while ago.. he’s whooped a lot of ass since then.
@@xNSHD Only way he loses is with a flash KO, and he just beat the guy who had the best chance of delivering it.
@@unclejunior2668 long time? He fought Arlovski in 2021 lol, jones been talking about fighting stipe since 2019… it’s the whole reason he made the move to heavyweight.
Does Stipe come with subtitles?
Yeah. I thought he said “idammtthedarfin” but he actually said “arethduononono.”
@@Subscribe4goodluck7 I put on the caption and it worked. It was nothing like I though he said.
About to say the same thing.
No, but Chuck Liddell is his interpreter. That should solve it.
I’ll never forgive Dana for robbing us of Ngannou vs Aspinall.
When did Dana ever rob people of that fight?
When was that fight ever talked about?
They just mean if the relationship between ngannou and white hadn’t soured then eventually they would have fought each other. Not that hard to figure out
Aspinal woyld get slept, leaves his chin high up and has gotten wobbled in a couple fights, Francis would seperate him from his body.
@@StallionFernando Tom will wear Francis with grappling and he is way faster than him
0:50 This is one of the wildest takes I’ve heard regarding Jones. He has a granite chin, never really been wobbled in a fight, and he’s been hit clean
Heavyweight is different, everyone gets knocked out eventually.
@donttrendonme ngannou never gotten knocked out or dropped in mma. besides hw is over 206lbs. most lhw fighters rehydrate over that limit
@@MuhGlassRibs that's cause ngannou barely got hit in mma lol
He's never been hit by a power puncher. He ducked jan and rumble who were the only ones that could resemble getting hit by a heavyweight
@@MuhGlassRibsYeah no lhw fighter goes anywhere near 265 it’s not possible cause the weigh ins the day before. Even alex pereira only goes up 220. There’s a reason why the stats show HW having so much more tkos than any other class. Any good hw fighter is at least 240. Also Francis is a striker and he got kod in striking. He’s not known for wreslting or kicking. Literally a boxer. He only didn’t get kod cause he rarely gets hit but when he did get got kod twice.
"my opinion of Tom? im really thankful Jones is so scared of him"
😂😂😂😂 whats there to be scared of? Aspinall is a hype train and id put my house on jones rag dolling him till he quit. Who exactly has aspinall beat? Especially compared to who jones has beat but yet you think he's scared. Casual talk at its finest.
@@jonathan2755 why is he avoiding the fight. Aspinall is ranked 1º right now, that answers ur question. But still, If Jones is so confident to win, why not fight the best fighter as soon as possible? Your consider urself the Nº1 but dont wanna fight the actual Nº1? Why. Ask urself, why do you think Jones wants to retire.
Btw, expert, u gotta beat an old fighter before beating one? That makes a lot of sense.
@@jonathan2755 are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? The UFC/Dana wants the Jon vs Stipe fight no matter what. Even if Stipe would get injured today, I don’t believe that Jon would accept the backup fighter, do you? Other fighters were stripped off their belts by now. I’d be amazed if Jon would agree to fight Tom at all to be honest. Why put his legacy on the line in the autumn of his career?
💯💯nailed it
@@jonathan2755 I'd take that bet in a heartbeat.
42 years old, hasn’t fought in three years, coming off a knockout. Like he said he doesn’t care about the belt. The guys just fighting for a payday. I don’t blame Jon Jones for wanted this scalp. And then Alex. He’s maximizing the limited amount of time left in his career
I love him "you damn right I'll be" what a legend 😁
They just want a goat vs goat fight. They not dodging Tom, they simply wanna fight each other and retire
I love Stipe but there’s absolutely nothing in the universe that can convince me he’s a tougher fight for Jones than Tom is. Jon can make every excuse in the book as to why Stipe is tougher, I ain’t buying it, he’s lying his ass off. He wants easier, more lucrative fight.
Stipe is a tough man, but he's knocking on the door of 43 years old, which makes your comment valid.
Stipe still beats Tom.
@@davycrockett4395 Stipe is my favourite but I just can't see it at this late stage of his career. I would love to be proved wrong though.
@@davycrockett4395 LMFAO. If they ever fight please bet me, any amount I can muster up.
We know. It's obvious. Jones is near retirement.
Jones is currently working out to get the juice again lol
I don’t think either Jones or Stipe are afraid of Tom or ‘don’t want the smoke’, but 100% neither of them want the risk. Stipe doesn’t want to risk the lower PPV purse, he wants a guaranteed payout against Jones… and Jones wants the easy ‘legacy’ fight to retire on a high note, and doesn’t want to risk losing to Tom. The prospect of a win over Tom isn’t worth the risk for him.
All of this would be fine if they weren’t both criminally holding up the division and allowing the UFC to turn into boxing, where it’s all about exhibition.
No fighter is ''scared'' of another, but they are absolutely scared of losing. Jones clearly is.
"not wanting the risk" is basically the same thing as "not wanting the smoke". if he had no smoke, he'd be no risk
@@gentlemandemon it’s MMA literally anything can happen. Every fight is a risk, but not wanting the smoke implies the fighter is doesn’t fancy their odds against that opponent
@@TheStraightestWhitestthat is what that’s called. When your scared of losing to someone it’s called being scared of them
Jon Jones. Stipe Miocic. Both men paid the price and achieved rare legendary status. Both men are now in their twilight. They've earned the right to fight each other with a title on the line. Are they holding up Tom from being a champion? Yes. Is Tom being champion faster more important than showing these 2 legends the respect they deserve? No. Is it fair to Tom? No. But Tom has 6-8 years ahead of him. Jon and Stipe have 6-12 months. Stipe, Jon and the UFC are playing this right. A Jon / Tom fight is even bigger next year if Jon beats Stipe. It will also be a bigger money fight for both Tom and Jon then.
Jon straight up lost to Reyes. Should have never fought for the HW title. Shouldn’t keep it if he’s dodging for money fights. The UFC is quickly becoming a joke. Less sport more “legacy” “money” fights. Both Stipe and Jon have no business being even top 5 HW. Might as well just make Jake Paul fight for the title next.
“Don’t let him dictate what he wants” goes on to completely let Jones dictate the fight
It’s way easier said than done - did you see how beat up he got when Jones took him down in R1?
Knowing that can happen changes the whole fight.
Hope,stipe will beat jon
If this was 2018 maybe
He won’t and this fight is a clown act
Stipe will come in a wheel chair 😂 he is that old now
2016-2018 Stipe would have. This one will lose by decision most likely.
Rumble Johnson has a more recent win than Stipe and he's dead
Jones is like this ultimate competitor. Sociopathic, manipulative, heartless. It's not like most of fighters who'd be worried not to cripple someone by hyperextending their knees or blinding someone for life. Jones is just that guy
Roid
Still doesn't wanna face Aspinall. Aspinall is that very decent guy Jon would love to be, Jons a devout christian too ..
Crazy cause Jon devotes his life to God which if he's real (he's not) Aspinall would have a better chance of getting in heaven 🤣 hasn't hit & run a pregnant woman, hasn't beat his wife, done A, B & C
@@Mcfc2Richdude he’s the goat and he’d spank Tommy. I can’t stand jones but u delusional people give me no choice but to defend him and I fuckin hate it

From paris !
Big respect for you 2 .. legends..
I think anyone that isn’t Jon, Stipe, or Dana agrees that Aspinall should be champ, or be fighting for the championship.
I think Stipe agrees too but he is not gonna pull out of the biggest fight of his career so he can be a nice guy to Aspinall
@@josip342ong stipe is completely innocent imo. Why fight tom for less money, more risk, less legacy? He was given a super fight so why wouldn't he take it?
Stipe is one of my favorite fighters of all time. Hope he gets it done.

Came across this video AFTER he fought Jones...
It’s a travesty what’s happening with Tom. The fighters and the ufc management are messing this up completely and sidelining him. So wrong
Agree 100% . It's so wrong on Tom and undermines the UFC's credibility massively.
He's not being sidelined, because he is soon fighting a rematch with Blaydes. But I get you point.
@@watchmanonthewall14 it’s a nothing fight though, he should be in with a big name or Jon jones specifically to solidify the belt holder one way or another
Its nice to see and hear these athlete competors are human as well as the whole or mostly of all of us

Also wasup Q? 901 in the house buddy! Memphis needs more dudes like you. I feel you on getting out though. I ain't finna stay much longer either. Cheers bro!
Rampage: What are your thoughts on Tom?
Stipe: Yabba dabba shubba dubba.
Rampage refuses to let that go lol every single interview about Jon he talks about the knees and eye pokes 😂
Tom has the entire heavyweight division shook 😧
I’m only going to come here when he fights Cyril, Cyril is going to make him look like child, Tom talks too much , let him not make that mistake to fight Cyril please.

*...Now after Jones highlight spinning body kick KO him. Stipe was an old man is the new narrative.*
*And the new Gustafson> Tom Aspinall, Jones is running from.*
Jones is the G.O.A.T. deal with it.
great jaxxon pod
Jon will submit Stipe round 1 or 2 , i dont even understand why this fight is happening... Stipe havent fought in ages and he is like 325 years old , easiest fight in Jon´s career
That's probably the smart bet, but I'd really like to see Jones getting some well-earned comeuppance!
So is Jones lol. ppl acting like Jones doesnt age or something. He is way past his prime.
@@vladimir4526 you are right too, Jones is at that DC age now.
DC beat stipe when he was like 40 , 5-6 Years ago.
Imagine what jon will do to stipe at this age...
Sure jon is older , but im just saying..
Rampage doesn’t believe a word he said when he told stipe he would be the first to beat Jon. He said that just to give stipe confidence
Jones and Stipe are good matchup because they're both at tail end of careers
Jones is gone up to hw he could fight 5 more years he only 36
But it shouldn't be for the belt. Jon is holding up the division, and Dana the idiot is allowing it while wasting Tom's prime.
Which begs the question , how can someone have the title and not defended it for so long ? If Bones beats Stipe , then retires , does that make him a great heavyweight champion , I don't think so .
Not if ur avoiding actual nº1 while keeping belt. If u wanna fight an old legend, let go of the belt.
I find it funny how this is the first ever interaction I've see with Quentin Jackson where he isnt trying to bully the person he's talking with.
1:12 Respect to Rampage, but bad take. And we saw why.
Stipe goat
1:28😂😂 rampage

who is here after jon jones absolutely destroyed stipe lolol
🙋🏽♂️😂
Genuine question, are ufc fighters allowed to fight eachother outside of ufc. For example in a gym? Like proper fight?? Not sparring. Or is there legal issues around it?
This isn't just about the belt, Tom will be the champ and he'll be for a few years, everyone with eyes knows it. The Stipe vs Jones fight is for legacy and money, and it's the UFC using his shots to make a good PPV. Ngl, I want this fight and will pay to watch it, and that's why they are totally right about doing it; we the fans have all the power here.
you don't speak for all fans. Tom is an excellent fighter, the UFC is actively screwing him, and I don't dig that
You're basically defending picking and choosing easy matchups for jon.

Nah jones would beat him in a decently competitive fight. Hes ducking but hes objectively better. He has a longer reach, better wins, is more malicious with his style, has more experience,and is proven to be able to go 5 rounds.
Rampage is the first person to say it and not get backlash Jon doesn’t have the chin to hang with those heavy handed heavyweights
Aspinall walks right through Stipe & Jones.
100%
Lol
Even prime DC could beat Asspinall , let's be realistic
The fact that people still underestimate Jones is astounding. Aspinall is a great fighter, but even now, if Jon takes training seriously, he'd demolish him. Jon is past his prime but even with that being the case, no fucking way Aspinal walks thru him.
@@nottoday4265You can guarantee this how? There’s no planet where the language you’re using doesn’t just sound like straight up glazing.

"That's crazy"
Yeah, we know
Needed to happen years ago but as per' it's all about Jon
He got hurt

Well one day if you become the best and your boss loves you can see that brings to your life.
@@badmontingz1219 I think he's saying the fight should have happened 'years ago' as in back in 2018, but Jones waited so long that he's now demanding a fight with a 42yo retiree who hasn't won a fight in 4+ years (and who is coming off a brutal KO loss). Not to mention that Jones has now called-out the guy who got outwrestled and held-down by 185lb kickboxer Izzy - the man is willing to fight anyone as long as they're a 4-1+ underdog, and not the literal interim-champion who is a slight favourite to beat him
@@jamesthompson9003 John fought at light heavyweight 4 times in 2018, 2019, n early 2020 so when was a heavyweight bout suppose to happen in 2018... after his fight in 2020 he clearly stated he was taking yrs off to properly put on the weight... then after 1 fight, preparing for stipe rips his peck tendon... the problem is ppl don't understand that fighters timelines in there careers don't always lineup n it's really no one's fault
This aged pretty well rashed 😁
Stipe is elite
Was elite, hasnt won a fight in 4 years, hasnt fought in 3
@Harry-hh1is You sound like Jon Jones desperately trying to justify fighting 42yo who hasn't won a fight in 4 years, because of who Stipe was beating back in 2015-2018. Of course anyone can rattle off all of Dom Cruz's achievements, but if O'Malley was turning down a BW interim-champ (lets say Merab/Umar/Cory) and demanding the fight with BW-Goat Cruz, then everyone would be right to say he was ducking
@Harry-hh1is how many years ago?
@Harry-hh1is Werdum, Hunt, Nelson, Overeem, Ngannou, DC twice, JDS. What of it? That was literally all 7-14 years ago... I was the biggest Stipe fan and hope to GOD that he sends Jon's duckhead into orbit since that'd be the most brutally poetic karma for Jon ducking Tom so hard all we hear is quacks only for Stipe to do to him exactly what Jon knows Tom would, but I just don't see it happening. Stipe looked bad in that third DC fight despite winning, and he looked far worse against Ngannou in the rematch. Way too light, hesitant, bad judgement with the takedown, no more of that slick head movement, no killer instinct, no willingness to plant his feet and sit down on his shots to make Ngannou stop headhunting, just none of it.
He looked done. He's the 265 GOAT, and has had 20+ years of combat sports. He's empty. It's alright. I wish him a great final payday and retirement win or lose.
But let us just stop pretending that he's a competitive 265 top contender right now. He isn't. I'm just happy he's fighting Jon and not Tom or Pavlovich, because those two men DAMAGE people when they take them out, whereas Jon just gently kisses them a bit for a decision win. Worst case he submits them. Neither causes lasting damage.
@Harry-hh1is he didnt actually lose though did he it was an injury that wasn’t even made by Curtis, his heavyweight resume is better than Jons
You’re reaching there..
This video definitely needed me to hit the closed caption button to understand
Good thing is we have CC button here so we can understand Stipe 😅
can we have subtitles next time
Stipe is avoiding no one, he has been patiently waiting for Jones.
Stipe is still the heavyweight GOAT.
He’s elderly
He's been avoiding everyone that he SHOULD be fighting in order to EARN another title shot.
Jon has been hit clean by alot of great strikers and never been really hurt or knocked down, definitely has a chin. Hesvyweights crack different though, we havent seen it tested
Tom aspinall smokes all these🇺🇲🤡
They don’t even care about the Jones Vs Stipe fight anymore.
You need subtitles to watch a Stipe interview lol not even joking.
You really don’t. English is just apparently not your first language lol
Casual here 😬 Why can't Jon and Stipe fight, and drop the belt. I didn't hear Stipe talking about the title, it was just about fighting Jon. Let them get it on but in the meantime, let the up-and-comers compete for the belt?
Bigger fight with more money if belt is on the line
Cause the longer someone has a belt, his fights are more relevant = more money for everyone. Knowing this, the UFC lets him pick the fights he thinks he can win. This case is extreme so its showing the reality. Remember fighting its not only a sport, its also a business.
Thay all need to stay away from tom and they know it
To translate: Toms a great champion, he's tough, young and hungry. But im fighting Jones and we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Why are two retirement candidates fighting for the belt holding up the division, are they even going to defend or retire afterwards ffs
Becuz they earned it damn mf let it go already
Jones will most definitely retire after this and pretend like his heavyweight era was the most significant thing a fighter could do despite facing a heavyweight who should have stayed in kickboxing and ducks more people than jones and a heavyweight who's not far from 50 and hasn't won a fight in 4 years.
Why does stipe get a shot at the title instead of tom
Because they want jon to ride of into the sunset without a threat to his legacy
I love the comment section claiming Jon and stipe are scarred of Tom 😂... these guys have fought killer after killer for 15 years. Could Tom win ? Yes everyone has a chance. But most ppl don't understand the mindset of a goat like Jon or the heavy weight goat stipe. They ain't scared of no man... everybody said the same thing oh Jon is scarred of gane n Jon walked him. Like dc said Jon jones isn't scarred of Francis... these guys are not scarred of anyone there programmed differently then the rest of us
Jones hardly walked Gane down. Lmfao. Do you even know what that means?? He got kicked in the nutts once and then decided to take him down. Jon was NEVER gonna stand with Gane.
@@SchecterIsKING watch the fight again Jon literally walks gane down for a min. Then jon dodges a punch n takes him down.. " Jon is controlling the center of the octagon" -joe rogan ... when gane is stepping back on the back foot and Jon is literally walking forward the whole time, that is the literal definition of walking someone down... watch the fight n then don't be shy to admit sometimes u can get it wrong.
@@SchecterIsKING oh n come to think of it; I never said he walked him down. I said walked him meaning made it look easy like a walk in the park ... but I had to go watch all 2 mins of the fight to confirm he did actually walk him down Jon went forward every second of the fight
Steroid gay goat😂
Jon is in the closet because Tom is standing outside of it. Jones admitted to being scared of Francis btw.
None of them wanna take on the REAL threat looming over the H.W.D right now .... Tom Aspinal is a genetic throwback to an absolute Saxon Stomper ..
& tbh , the natural & inevitable progression in the evolution of the sport ....
Literally the new breed .

Enough said .
🇬🇧☝🏻👑❤️🔥💪🏻
if stipe would have taken the aspinall fight, it would be a clear cut #1 contender but stipe ducked it because he has no confidence that he would have won
Because Tom is a nobody in the UFC. He hasn’t earned a fight with Jon or Stipe.
@@mrspiff6955he is interim champ sir 😂 champ down 😂u know two names and u yap
Stipe? Lmfao sit down, casual. The blame is wholly on Jon. Stipe even literally said that he doesn’t care about the belt and that they don’t even have to fight for the belt. You’d know that if you actually paid attention and didn’t just talk out of your ass and pretend to be smart 😂
@@edwardallan5633Aspinal is only "interim champ" because UFC needed a belt on the line to step in and save the card when Jones was hurt. He can wait his turn.

Subtitles is having a hell of a time trying to figure out what Stipe is saying 😂
Rampage had faulty logic. Glad Stipe corrected it.
What
I don't know if Jones has a weak chin, but it definitely means he's less used to dealing with people who can stay close distance and keep the pressure on. Who knows who could actually do that and avoid damage though
Both in their primes, Bones beats Stipe. But Bones has fallen further. Age doesn't matter in comparison to Bones partying for years- & no longer young to get away with it. He was also slow & clumsy vs Gane, but Gane had a grappling deficiency.
It's always casual like you that people hate. How do you know jon will beat prime stipe lol. Casual muppet
Bones is on steroids and no he always sucked vs tall guys,stipe is huge he is HW got incredible boxing and wrestling dude would demolish him i belive
It's always casual like you that people hate the most. How do you know jon will beat prime stipe?? You casual
Juiced up 32 year old Stipe at heavyweight > Jon Jones now
Litterally how would you know Jones in his prime wasn't even a heavyweight
It’s hard to argue this fight taking place isnt indicative of a sclerotic system in place in the ufc. Remember when fights were made based upon rankings and it was like a legitimate sport?
u the vocab 🐐
There is *always* an up-and-comer who is going to be the next big thing and who everyone up the chain is supposedly ducking. Given the calibre of guys that both Jones and Stipe have fought, I doubt that they are ducking him. They are both bigger names than Aspinall, with greater legacy than Aspinall, and it's understandable that they want to face each other.
Can you name anyone on Jones' LHW run who was an 'up-and-comer' younger than him? There is literally only 1, and it's Dom Reyes, who beat Jones pretty easily. Also the only 'legacy' you get calling out a 42yo who hasn't won a fight in 4+ years (and coming off a brutal KO loss 3.5 years earlier) is the legacy of ducking the HW-champ Aspinall. Do you find it suspicious that Jones is calling out Sitpe/Alex, these 4-1 underdogs, while refusing to even mention the HW-champ, who is a slight-favourite to beat him?
This aged well. He did that to you 😂😂😂
Låter som en dålig förlorare... Jones är den alla vill slå, men ingen kommer att göra det så länge han slutar på topp. Och det är nu💪💜💯
