How dare you trash Anthony Smith. On paper, if you break down his skills individually, he is not only the ufc goat, but the goat of all sports ever. The goat of humanity itself you could say.
I feel the exact same. Because for every Islam, Ankalaev, Umar etc. you get 3 Mokaevs and people start throwing them into the same bracket, just because they mostly share fanbases. It‘s just that you don‘t get a champ like Pereira all the time. No boring fights, a lot of devastating finishes, active. I‘d rather have him be the champ as long as he‘s there.
imagine Stipe winning the belt, going to a war against Aspinal somehow avoiding getting knocked out and sails of to the sunset allowing Tom and Alex to fight for the vacant belt, is that what we call the perfect scenario?
Stipe retires after beating Jones and Tom gets promoted to undisputed champ. Jones won't be able to duck Aspinal so either he'll get KO'd by him or he'll retire after losing to a 42 year old
If Stipe beats Jones, it will be the greatest moment of my life. Jones' Legacy ruined(even more than it is.) The copium by Jon on Twitter, would be insane. Then, Tom can easily claim the official heavyweight throne. Oh, and seeing Dana White break down in tears at the post-fight interview would be insane.
If Stipe beats Jones, you really think Jones won't get a immediate rematch? That rematch sells more than UFC 300. That's backwards thinking if you want Aspinall to fight for a real belt.
@@skeletoncrew6500 That just means the UFC has to pay more. Stipe wanted the Brock fight in the past, so he likes those big money fights just like any other fighter.
@@allenmk138if Stipe actually beats Jones then a rematch happens because of money that’s literally a Bellator fight in UFC (2 old legends getting paid a lot for fights way out of their prime) Also the whole reason why Jones made this fight was because it was an easy “legacy” fight and losing then getting the win back is just gonna look embarrassing (even more compared to now)
Nah bro if stipe wins the ufc will give Jones an immediate title shot. And knowing Jon Jones well have to wait for another year for the next heavyweight title fight😭
How about Arman chinning Islam Shavkat finishing Belal? Whittaker beating Chimaev and sets up DDP vs Whittaker 2? Max putting the beat down on Topuria? Chandler beating Charles to set up a title fight? (Chandler fights are never boring)
What I noted what Ankalev does that makes him a stylistic nightmare against Alex is, he is a southpaw, we seen Izzy and Khalil having success on the feet in southpaw, he also circles to the left which him already being in southpaw makes him pretty immune to Alex's left hook, he is patient and has great counters which we seen Alex win over pressure fighters like Strickland, Hill, Jiri etc and lose by KO to a patient counter-attacker Izzy, and the most obvious is Ank has great wrestling for LHW. Alex does have the reach advantage and we seen Ank be prone to leg kicks but Alex's TD needs to be on point for him to chip down Ank and win.
14:09 People need to recall with their goldfish memory that before the Jones fight, he was the Aspinall of that era a few years ago, finishing everyone like Shavkat. If he awakens that monster again, we could even see him dominationg those two top divisons as well, killing everyone. Those three loses were fue to his depression from that Jones robbery that ruined his spirit. Jiri and Jan has no place with a prime Reyes in the cage. The newer kids need to rewatch his old fights
Out of his last 10 fights he finished 3, and you are saying he can finish everyone? Bro that is a cap if I ever seen one. Oh and of course he got popped again for steroids in one of his finishes.
@@moderneistein3476 I already said the last three don't count. He was just being like Bivol on his post fight interview after John, that the loss didnt effect him. The record says otherwise
I like Alex but I like Izzy more. A true Izzy fan would want Alex to win because it makes adesanya’s win better, they always had good and competitive fights even back to their first kickboxing fight. Idk why you always sending strays at Izzy😔
How about Shavkat beating Belal? Almost everyone would prefer that in itself, plus the added issue is that Islam won’t challenge his mate Belal for the belt, and I think after another defense at 155 we probably do need to see Islam move up. I mean, when you have a guy who is conceivably the most complete fighter ever, it’s a waste of an opportunity if we don’t test that theory.
I was telling my buddy yesterday how amazing it would be for Jones to lose to Miocic 😂 I WANT IT SO BAD. Jones has cheated and held up the division. It would be poetic af for Miocic to win. Stipe needs to win and retire to set up a belt matchup between Tom and the next up.
You guys are so dumb lmao, the division is 10x more interesting with Belal as champ rather than Shavkat and Leon. Shavakat fights once a year, speaks no English, talks no trash, and has no interesting personality. You guys wouldn’t be glazing him this hard if he had a basic name and didn’t have a cool hat. Be prepared for him to get 50-45’d
@@KW_SPORTS_WWW1.) Belal has one of the dryest fighting styles out of anyone in UFC history and is why he can fight so often. Leon and Shavkat struggle with activity but deliver way more entertaining fights. 2.) I'd rather Belal speak no English because he's one of the most annoying fuckers on the planet and has the worst trash talk in the UFC he's a fuckin down-syndrome robot on the mic 3.)

i think shavkat vs belal should be on here, as much as I like belals personality, I don't think there's anything that could make him entertaining. Im not one of those people who hates decision warriors, I been rooting for merab for a long time, but belal is just much more boring than the rest.

@@Sphareuser Anthony smith and Johnny Walker are both Cans and we all know that. Oezdemir as a good win and Krylov is a great win. That doesn’t make him exiting or active. He’s demanding title fights be fought in his home land when he’s not even the champion. He’s inactive, he would hold up the belt and have boring title fights. Why would we want him to win. Just because he’s earned the title shot doesn’t mean he’s an automatic fan favorite.
the only thing Jones has proved to people who know the sport is… nothing. Couldn’t even KO people while on steroids… Boring decisions against tiny washed middleweights & tapped a white belt in Gane ? I don’t get satisfaction tapping people who can’t grapple.
Nobody can ruin jones legacy 😂 if he loses wow he lost one fight his whole career, which is more than anybody even Tom, but all could say dude was losing on the regional scene.
