Nobody’s gives a single fuck about this fight.
They had a chance to do something with AP and blew it
Wow, if and when the title fight falls through, theyre gonna hafta scrap that entire card, then put chandler on suicide watch.
Has stipe got rid of his social media? Couldn’t see him on Instagram. Wanted to see any recent training footage.
If he’s the same Stipe from 4 years ago he’s got a really good chance as he’s got good defensive wrestling, ring IQ and hammers for hands.
Big if though.
My head says chubster jones by some sub early on again
In for Jons eventual legal troubles
He’s not.
Yeah I’m sure but it’s still real to me Dammit
Beating up an old man while the real champ waits.
I cant wait for Alex to give him brain damage
Alex Pereira was 7 months away from making his UFC debut the last time Stipe fought.
Much to Tom Aspinall’s joy, Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic is finally official.
Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) defends his heavyweight title vs. Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in the UFC 309 main event Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Interim heavyweight champion Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) has long awaited the fight announcement, which took a year to be rebooked, and he plans on being in attendance – not just as a spectator, but as a backup fighter.
“Big Jon Jones, big Stipe Miocic matched up with one another – finally it’s official,” Aspinall said on his YouTube channel. “Nov. 16, MSG, New York City, the heavyweight title is on the line at long last. Finally, we are confirmed for it, and I will of course be there to watch these two gentlemen go at it.
“I, of course, have told the UFC that if anybody gets injured or there’s any other reason why nobody can make it to that fight, (if) one of them pull out, I’m ready to go. If I need to, I’ll fight both of them in the same night, no problem. Give me my undisputed title.”
After defending his interim title with a quick TKO of Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304, Aspinall can’t wait for the opportunity to prove he’s the true heavyweight champion.
“In my opinion, it should not be two champions in one weight division, I think that is silly,” Aspinall said. “This is not what UFC is about. This is not what MMA is about. There’s one guy in each weight division, and I believe it’s me.
“So I’ll be fighting the winner. I will be there if they need me. I’ll be fit and ready. I’m training right now. I’m ready to go. I’ll be ready to go on Nov. 16 if I need to. MSG is the place where I won the title, I’ll go back there and I’ll unify the title there as well if I need to.”
I got Jones by KO
The UFC should be pulling for Stipe, objectively. If Jones wins, he retires with the belt. If Stipe wins, he’ll defend it.
Aspinall is the champ in my eyes.
And I’m not a fan or anything. It’s just what’s right.
