What’s the under/over on how many times Jones is called the GOAT? 87.5?

 

Ok. Never seen Rakhmonov until tonight. That dude is fucking good.

 

GRASSO!!!!!

 

HOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

 

Man I can’t believe Usman, Volk, Adesanya, Shevchenko, etc. have all lost recently. In so many cases it’s ONE tactical error that can cost you. It’s so tough to be on top for as long as most of these guys/girls have for that exact reason.

 

That was quick lol

 

the goat

 

If Jon is going to actually wrestle like that, there's not a single HW in the UFC that can beat him.

 

Easy money baby

 

LESNAR OR NGANNOU WHOS IT GONNA BE

 

Stipe was told he's got the next shot in the summer. So I'd imagine him

 

Well yeah and he will lose though, so obvi after that

 

That performance was insane. Bummed we didn’t get to see him fight Francis, but honestly he came at the right time. It actually feels like we have a legitimate champion even though the last champ vacated. I can’t wait to see him defend the belt.

 

That was disappointing. I cannot stand that dude.

 

Dana said Francis would never come back. If they couldn't get Brock, he'll probably fight Pavlovich after Stipe.

Sergei and Blaydes are probably the two HWs with the best chance to beat him. And unfortunately, they have to fight each other next.

 

Yeah Francis isn't coming back, Lesner is too old, and he'll run through Stipe as well. Don't think there's anybody that has a remote chance at beating him at the moment.

 

Catching up with post fight stuff this morning and it really seems like Jones has no intentions of fighting anyone else besides Stipe. Sounds like retirement is in the cards after that fight

 

I think only money (which Dana might be willing to relinquish if he wins against Stipe), or Francis coming back somehow, would be enough to keep Jones fighting

 

I’d be really disappointed if we didn’t get to see any of the other new breed at HW fight him. Specifically, Sergei/Blaydes/Aspinall at some point.

 

Gane in 60 seconds.

 

Jones/Stipe will headline UFC 290 on July 8th

 

Rooting for Stipe all the way. Put some respect on my man’s name!

 

Sounds like Aljo/Henry might be falling apart and Sean will step in.

Sterling told Sean to be ready and that Henry wasn’t making up his mind.

 

Ngannou focused on big names for boxing debut

I wonder if Dana offered Francis a fight in Cameroon, lets say at the Olembe Stadium, the biggest in the country at 60,000 capacity, against Jon Jones, that he would agree to it?

 

I legitimately don't think Francis will ever fight again in the UFC. Dana seemed completely done with that and I don't think Francis would go back at this point.

He turned down $6 million to fight Jon because he wanted more for himself and other fighters and that's commendable. But I don't think he ever fights Jon. It sounds like Jon is gonna hang it up after the Stipe fight in July too
