The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 301 in Brazil- Pantoja/Aldo etc. SAT 5/4

I don’t get what you’re disagreeing with. My stipe slander?

Conor has nothing to do with this, he’s obviously in his own tier

I clearly stated the mma fans give zero dambs about stipe

They clearly still care about conor
Just that the UFC will give favoritism to its stars so in this case if JJ really wants the Stipe fight they are going to give it to him even if it goes against them having a deserving IC holder in Tom. But I would agree that likely 99% of fans don't care about Stipe's legacy and the Jones fight has even less steam than it did last year. So yes I did mistake your statement for the UFC as a whole favoring stars and letting them sometimes call their shots.

Oh yeah totally they are giving Jones what he wants. That’s my mistake for questioning why stipe and Jones are attached at the hip. We know that’s because Jon wants it

So my hate should be directed at Jones

I still hold to my opinion on stipe about everything else tho. It’s crazy how Jones is going to get legacy credit for beating him tbh

Cool win. But it’s not some kind of historic win that it’ll be made out to be in the record books
 
No that isn’t a big fight because of stipe and he isn’t the only big name or fight

That’s a big fight because of Jones

Jones vs Tom will sell out an England show and arena in seconds and do more numbers than stipe

Jones vs Alex would do more numbers than stipe
Tom not moving the needle as much fam.. sorry. You said it yourself.. he gotta fight in his own country to do any numbers.

I'll give you Alex though.

I could see Jones Tom in America still doing more numbers than stipe

I could also see Jon willing to fight in England would do crazy business

Stipe ain’t the big fight you’re making it out to be, it’s only a big fight in Jon’s eyes

Jon stipe will still be a big fight but mostly because of Jon

If stipe fought any other hw not named Tom, people would most likely call it weak if it headlined a ppv

If Jon is gonna retire, him going out in a soccer stadium and smoking Tom the highest touted prospect right now holds much more value in eyes then beating Stipe at MSG. A Stipe that literally no one cares about.

Nah.

Jon vs Alex does the most PPV's
Jon vs Stipe second based of stipes name and longevity in the UFC, and he's got that first responder/blue collar crowd on lock
Jon vs Tom third (USA vs UK)

Outside of Purists, casuals have NO IDEA who Tom is.

No one working at ESPN knows who Tom Aspinal is

Tom definitely aint getting that fight if he just gonna sit out and wait...

goes both ways, he's gotta get active and be undeniable, hes just been crying begging for the fight since he got the belt.

Jon tore his pec....

Tom has NO EXCUSES.

get out there and go fight

Tom having a great performance at msg in his last fight to get the interim definitely helped him with Americans

I don’t doubt Tom could do better business than stipe based off ppv buys (thanks to English) and I know the arena will be sold out just on Jones name alone
 
Was just looking at the card for tomorrow and saw Buckley is fighting against a guy with two KOs in his 2 UFC scraps. Seems very risky and a step down from Luque in rankings and name value.

Buckley's a savage,

He forced his way onto this card because it was in his hometown, literally begged Dana.

Don't think he really cared who he fought, as long as he got to fight in front of his home crowd.

I love it. Hope he gets the W

They are literally trying to bury Buckley. That’s the only reason he was given this fight. Dudes a killer he fighting, can’t believe he actually made weight considering he’s 6’5
 
I like O'Malley I feel like he misses the mark on some of his trash talk. I don't get him picking on the 125'er lmao


Why did he release this footage? Bad taste. It’s sparring. It is almost 10 years ago. Suga has said he wants to fight ilia, a bigger opponent. But not mad if he wants to go the Henry Cejudo route.

He asked for it lol. Opened his big mouth and now has to deal with a monster. He better pray dude is still a lil flush, weak and brain susceptible to a flash KO. Still a huge distance, weight disadvantage to deal with.
