Stipe collecting his pay check and heading back to the retirement home:

What did Jon say about fighting aspinall? Stream died

Mine kept skipping back to the Chandler/Olivera fight, so no idea
He said he's not retiring and going to talk to Hunter/Dana about the future and if it makes sense, he'll give the people want they want. Rogan then asked him what that means and he didn't answer saying he needs to talk to Dana/Hunter.

Good to see Jon stop the BS and just say it. He’s negotiating publicly and hopefully they pay him what he wants and make the Tom fight.

Hell baby
I wish they gave Ruffy somebody with less of a chin than Llontop, that lookaway shovel uppercut would’ve KO’d a lesser chin and made my opinion of the card 2x higher

One hilarious part about that cringeworthy post-fight interview was Jones talking about it being a liver kick and Rogan telling him it was actually on the other side. 😂

I think the fight will happen. This is Jones negotiating publicly and being as difficult as possible.

What we're already seeing from the UFC, Dana, and the UFC is exactly why this fight was made. Myself and bunch of other people here have been saying it since day one. The only purpose of this fight was to inflate Jones even more. Creating their own reality and narrative isn't anything new for the UFC but they're taking it up a notch. Jones talking about how hard he hit and how durable he was and Dana saying how incredible he looked. Stipe looked awful from the very first minute. He might've been a better match up for Mike Tyson on Friday night than Jon Jones on Saturday night.

Why does he have a problem fighting Tom?

If Tom put a wig on and dangled an 8 ball of blow it probably wouldn’t be an issue.

Because he is a legitimate threat.

No one seriously thought old man Stipe was a threat. He had not been in the ring for over three and half years. And that last fight he got absolutely starched. When was Stipe's last win? This is why the fight was a joke MMC. In all honestly this fight was almost as much of a joke as Jake Paul vs. Tyson. Of course Jones fanboys are going nuts. As if beating this version of Stipe should elevate your status lol

Jones now wants to fight Pereira but it would be a very easy out for Jones. He would just do the same thing he did to Gane. Pereira has no ground game and for some reason all the recent fighters he has faced want to beat him on the feet. That plus favourable matchmaking by the UFC to keep the Pereira hype train running. I guarantee Jones would not just stay standing with Pereira. Even if he promised it. Jones is a piece of ****.

Tom is fast and talented for a heavyweight and is a threat on the feet and ground. In other words it would not be an easy fight for Jones. Jones could legitimately lose that fight. That would damage Jones's ego immensely. Jones could of course win that fight, but the odds are a lot lower than they are against Pereira and Stipe.

After lasts night even I honestly think Tybura would have been a more appropriate matchup for Stipe. I would have actually favoured Tybura due to less ring rust and being younger. Stipe looked old. Definitely should not have been in there for a title fight.
