Jones is 36 which is known as bad omen for champs also he looked slow,bit rigid in stand up vs Gane..add to that his inactivity and I reckon Stipe who is eager to show who he is after brutal Ngannou ko,i bet my house Stipe sleeps him
Stipe underestimated... as always. He has nothing to proof. One of the GOATs of this Sport. 42 Years old and hasnt fought for more than 3 Years. This Fight is his last big Pay Day. Hes on the Winner Side, no matter how this fight Ends.
If you want a fight interview with Stipe, just take a video from 10 years ago and change the opponents name, you have a Stipe fight interview lol. Missed Stipe. Instead of hating on these two, appreciate seeing two of the greatest ever compete for possibly the last time.
I don't care what anyone says, I am really excited for this fight. I am a huge Stipe fan. He is definitely one of my favorite fighters of all time. Win or lose that will not change either. I hope Stipe can get the job done. Whoever the winner is I also can't wait to get the heavyweight division rolling. I hope this fight last's longer than a round unless Stipe get's the early victory.

Dont hate Stipe please people, he is just grabbing the opportunity that is presented and so will you. That being said this shouldn't have been for the title.
@IbrahimIbrahim-vu3zb nah, all of our social media and internet access is merely an echo chamber of our interests and views dude. Stipes feed will be fans blowing smoke up his fire fighting bum and talking down on Tom. Tom just has all the hype that every decent British striker has had and he's in a dumpster of a division btw
The guy interviewing is a total joke. I mean really, is Jon paying this guy. It is a disgrace to interview someone and make the interview all about the opponent. You could tell that Stipe was over it as well.
Stiopic is a living legend and the UFC's heavyweight GOAT and I pray he gets it done on Jon Moans. Having said that, this fight is bizarre considering Stipe was killed by Ngannou almost 4 years ago. I get that we're in a world where Adesanya could walk into a title shot after being dominated by Strickland but still. All it is, is Jones ducking Aspinall.
It wasn’t really undeserved he only lost to Ngannou who was champ…… and that everyone lost to. ….this fight got announced long before Aspinal was interim champ…. Was actually announced when Tom was on the sidelines for a year injured… Let the two guys that have been at the top for 10-15 years fight …. The new guy will get his chance.

All champions current or former. Stipe best to ever do it. Champ!!! Jones needs to be attacked he fights with fear using knee stomps that eneded up people's career's.
I’m looking forward to this fight, as a Brit I do really want to see aspinall fight jones, ultimately when jones beat gane he called out stipe, so I understand why they want to do this and it’s okay that it’s for the title, I think whoever wins will fight Tom next, I don’t think they will be able to resist
Call him old. Call him whatever you want but he could end up shocking the world and flatlining Jon. If he's even 80% of what he use to be he's a serious threat

The UFC HVW division has been a joke since Francis gave Dana the big FU and walked out to make $M's in the boxing world. Jones is ducking Aspinall and this upcoming fight with Stipe borders on the absurd. Miocis is 42 years old, hasn't fought for over 3 years and went 3-2 against the same 2 fighters over the last 6 years. He can't compete with any HVW in the top 5, never mind against Jones. What is the point of this fight? Both guys are going to pick up their paychecks and retire, with Jones claiming to have beaten the best HVW of all time. The UFC will never put out the $$ needed to get Jones to defend against Aspinall, and meanwhile the real HVW champion is fighting for a rival league.
Definitely one of the greatest heavyweights of all time just under Fedor and just over Cain and definitely one of the greatest ambassadors the sport will ever see. World class fighter in Stipe
I'm the biggest Jon Jones fan in the world but if I would want anybody to beat Jon Jones, Its Stipe .... I want a legend to beat him not some up-and-coming Heavyweight whose best win was Arlovski who was Champion when Aspinall was in High School.
@@mhutch5082 You are literally clueless, he has fought basically the entire current top 10, apart from Jones and Gane who wont fight him as they are scared

@@guyfromnjjones waited for an overhand from a guy who has no wrestling background and took him down. Stipe has waaayyy better tdd than gane dude. Also jones is notorious for using his long range to keep opponents at a reach wtf do you mean he crowds people?
@@ChrispyChrunchy come back after the fight and revisit. If I’m wrong I will gladly say I’m wrong. Overwhelms may be a better word than crowds. You are also thinking of a lighter version of Jones. Dude has put on much more strength and size since his light heavyweight run. It’s a different thing now. I hope I’m wrong. I don’t like Jones. Want to see stipe win but it don’t look good.
Stipe's past accomplishments are undeniable but he is now 42 years old hasn't fought in a minute, got KO'ED not once but twice in his last four fights and has merely two wins in six years..
Stipe looks more dialed in physically than ever maybe from my perspective. From this angle he looks great. Always dialed in mentally. Looking forward to this match. Great interview as always Damon. Thank you. God Bless.
There is no way in hell that stipe wins this fight, if Stipe fights jon 100 times then he'll lose 100 times, he had close fights with DC and was getting tagged by DC in both fights, and DC washes Jon Jones shorts 100/100 times, so this fight is a free hand out to jon jones
If this happened 3 years ago, I would pick Stipe without hesitation because there is no doubt in my mind that the Stipe who beat DC twice would beat the Jones that arguably lost the fight against Reyes or went to a split decision to a one legged Thiago Santos. Now, with the age difference and Stipe's long layoff, I could see Jones beating him, but literally, anything could happen. That's what is fascinating to me about this fight.
Don't count Stipe out. 42 is old for LW, WW, MW etc. HW has it's own set of rules and is it's own beast. As long as Stipe has done proper sparring the time off from his KO loss to Francis has done him well. It's terrible for a fighter to suffer a KO like that and be back in the cage 6-12 months later. Rest, recover, let your body and mind heal. Stipe is always in good shape and takes care of himself. I'm excited for this fight because if Stipe does it and defeats Bones he can retire as a top 5 all time GOAT.
The 1st clean shot Stipe connects with will tell the story. I think Stipe has the ability to stuff a few of Jon's takedowns. He needs to make Bones pay every time he tries to grapple. Jon has a good chin, but he's never been hit by someone who hits as hard as Stipe. Hoping Stipe KO's Jones and rides off into the sunset as the undisputed and bona-fide UFC HW 🐐
I've been watching MMA for over 20 years...I've never seen someone be so disrespected as Stipe..Everyone is looking past him...I'm not...Stipe KOs Jones inside of 3 rounds, sets the MMA world on FIRE and wipes his ass with the new contracts he gets offered. He's done.
Jones should not be taken lightly. several LHWs have had success in HW, Usyk or in MMA, Overeem. Of course Stipe has a chance and I believe in it, it's important to be aware of your opponent's qualities but always keep confidence in yours qualities. I think the best method is to attack by moving quickly without letting Jones go. Jones rarely knocks out but when he hits it hurts badly and everywhere, that put doudt
Aspinall is sick but these are 2 legends at the tail end of their careers (Jons actually not old by any means but he makes it sound like he's 42 as he's been taking damage since so young )and people have to respect the mutual History they ran together. He was DCs nemesis and Jon was also. Same timeline. They don't need to fight Aspinall or the guy who starches Aspinall in the future. They just want to find out what they've been wondering from before Aspinall even entered.
This fight does not tell us who the best heavy weight is. A fight with Aspinall would tell us who the best heavy weight is. This fight wouldn't need a title on the line - it should just be a legacy fight.
Sure Aspinall is good but Jones vs Stipe will bring in more money than either vs. Aspinall. If they did Aspinall vs Jones, it would be Jones bringing in 80% of eyes. If it was Aspinall vs Stipe, it wouldn’t bring in enough money to break records unless the CoMain was huge.
I’m glad they have both been out for so long so it’s even. Both guys are rusty. John is coming much smaller than the last fight and Stipe is a smaller heavy weight. I’m excited to see John’s striking. I don’t think he’s just going to wrestle this fight. He’s been working a lot with Gordon Ryan for a couple years now and when he first started Ryan dominated Jones. I think John’s Jujitsu is probably the best in the heavyweight division now. He was already by far the best wrestler so his ground game is going to be way better than it ever has. I’m excited to see him strike at heavyweight though. I’m sure he will mix everything perfectly, punches , elbows, knees, and takedowns balanced to keep Stipe thinking. Stipe is a badass though and he has the power to KO Jones. I just don’t see that happening. If John struggles to strike he’ll just take him down. I have John winning by submission in round 3
I love Stipe. However he doesn’t study opposition like Jones does. Jones spends half his time studying every move his opponent makes. He knows them better than they know themselves. That’s how you win at the highest level. Art of War “know your opponent more than you know yourself “.
Good job finding an interviewer that speaks Stipe's native language

Facts
Stipes always had a chip on his shoulder. He's one of those guys who became a grumpy old man in his 20s
the most amazing thing about Stipe is that he is the easiest person to understand, and also completely inaudible

Now, with the age difference and Stipe's long layoff, I could see Jones beating him, but literally, anything could happen. That's what is fascinating to me about this fight.
Don't count Stipe out. 42 is old for LW, WW, MW etc. HW has it's own set of rules and is it's own beast. As long as Stipe has done proper sparring the time off from his KO loss to Francis has done him well. It's terrible for a fighter to suffer a KO like that and be back in the cage 6-12 months later. Rest, recover, let your body and mind heal. Stipe is always in good shape and takes care of himself. I'm excited for this fight because if Stipe does it and defeats Bones he can retire as a top 5 all time GOAT.
I just don't see it man, 42 y/o is old !
The 1st clean shot Stipe connects with will tell the story. I think Stipe has the ability to stuff a few of Jon's takedowns. He needs to make Bones pay every time he tries to grapple. Jon has a good chin, but he's never been hit by someone who hits as hard as Stipe.
Hoping Stipe KO's Jones and rides off into the sunset as the undisputed and bona-fide UFC HW 🐐
Good interview no fluff str8 to the point.
Damon has some of the best interviews in the game
I've been watching MMA for over 20 years...I've never seen someone be so disrespected as Stipe..Everyone is looking past him...I'm not...Stipe KOs Jones inside of 3 rounds, sets the MMA world on FIRE and wipes his ass with the new contracts he gets offered. He's done.
LETS GO STIPE HES GOT THIS
Not sure peoples lack of comprehension . Its quite easy to understand what hes saying. People just cant pay attention these days
Jones should not be taken lightly. several LHWs have had success in HW, Usyk or in MMA, Overeem. Of course Stipe has a chance and I believe in it, it's important to be aware of your opponent's qualities but always keep confidence in yours qualities. I think the best method is to attack by moving quickly without letting Jones go. Jones rarely knocks out but when he hits it hurts badly and everywhere, that put doudt
"Reacts" is a bit too strong a word.
Aspinall is sick but these are 2 legends at the tail end of their careers (Jons actually not old by any means but he makes it sound like he's 42 as he's been taking damage since so young )and people have to respect the mutual History they ran together. He was DCs nemesis and Jon was also. Same timeline. They don't need to fight Aspinall or the guy who starches Aspinall in the future. They just want to find out what they've been wondering from before Aspinall even entered.
Just 2 Ohio guys chilling out speaking their native tongue
This fight does not tell us who the best heavy weight is. A fight with Aspinall would tell us who the best heavy weight is. This fight wouldn't need a title on the line - it should just be a legacy fight.
Im not hating on Stipe at all but this fight only exists because Dana is trying to protect John.
Jon*** Wrong, Bones wants to fight Stipe.
His English really improved since he moved to the USA 42years ago
God Stipe is quite possibly the worst interviewee in all of mixed martial arts lol.
Nah that title is reserved for max " we find out October 26th " Holloway
Ikr? I hate his answers
Stipe don't owe nobody any explanation. The part that sucks for me is I'm a big fan of both guys...
I have to listen to this atleast 1 more time...
Sure Aspinall is good but Jones vs Stipe will bring in more money than either vs. Aspinall. If they did Aspinall vs Jones, it would be Jones bringing in 80% of eyes. If it was Aspinall vs Stipe, it wouldn’t bring in enough money to break records unless the CoMain was huge.
We gonna find out Saturday night!!
Sorry, but my native language is not English either Stipelish. Hard to understand without subtitles😐
How do i turn on captions ?
He doesn't like to be interviewed 😂
I’m glad they have both been out for so long so it’s even. Both guys are rusty. John is coming much smaller than the last fight and Stipe is a smaller heavy weight. I’m excited to see John’s striking. I don’t think he’s just going to wrestle this fight. He’s been working a lot with Gordon Ryan for a couple years now and when he first started Ryan dominated Jones. I think John’s Jujitsu is probably the best in the heavyweight division now. He was already by far the best wrestler so his ground game is going to be way better than it ever has. I’m excited to see him strike at heavyweight though. I’m sure he will mix everything perfectly, punches , elbows, knees, and takedowns balanced to keep Stipe thinking. Stipe is a badass though and he has the power to KO Jones. I just don’t see that happening. If John struggles to strike he’ll just take him down. I have John winning by submission in round 3
I love Stipe. However he doesn’t study opposition like Jones does. Jones spends half his time studying every move his opponent makes. He knows them better than they know themselves. That’s how you win at the highest level. Art of War “know your opponent more than you know yourself “.
Stipe Interviews need subtitles guys.
The whole world knows that Tom is the toughest Matchup for Jon.
Imagine stipe and chuck liddell having a conversation about quantum physics
I'm actually more excited for this fight than for any other
