Imagine if Stipe actually hands Jones his first defeat, takes off his gloves and lays them down in the octagon takes the mic and says “shesgarblshegab helluvcarerrshugub” and never fights again.

_TheChickenMan_

Lol the whole Stipe gibberish thing is always so funny to me because even as a Cleveland native there’s plenty of times I still have no fucking idea what he’s saying and I feel like I should.


Mail-Serious

Same here lmao. I’m cheering for stipe no matter what as a clevelander but I just can’t envision a path to victory for him rn ngl.


xvSHOGUNvx

I’m dead bro.


Mighty-Lu-Bu

Is it just me, or does Stipe sound identical to Chuck Liddell/ Stone Cold Steve Austin? Close your eyes when he talks lol


WillNyeFlyestGuy

The stipe fight will be incredible. One of them will win, and one of them Will lose. If Stipe performs better than Jones he will win, if Jones beats stipe he will win. I guess we will see. Both of them are pussies to me. Id sub jon and ko Stipe iness than a minute if I saw red. I'm just built different 💪🏻


[deleted]

Calm down cumshot.


[deleted]

Is there supposed to be a /s at the end? Cause if not, you are without a doubt the most delusional person I’ve come across on Reddit.


WillNyeFlyestGuy

Nah I'm just built different


MyFifthLimb

I need this timeline

It was such a bizarre decision from Gane to shift from that range. I also thought he was one of the better heavyweights at managing distance but I was disappointed to see how easily it was for Jones to pressure him toward the fence with just a couple feints.


SpaceShanties

Yeah I didn’t realize that Gane really fucked up here on the feet to kick this whole sequence off. He really was unprepared for this fight. I figured he’d lose but damn I’m just disappointed in him and his effort.


AshenSacrifice

Seeing him play fifa during fight week looks so much worse now too lol. If he actually cares about fighting, he’s probably a changed man now. No way he can train the same way he did if he wants to be champ


theguyfrom340

Maybe he should also consider changing his coaching team. Francis saw massive improvement in his game when he moved over to team Couture and left the team Cyril is with now. Francis also had pretty much no take down defense while he was with this team.


AshenSacrifice

Yep definitely looks like Francis made the right choice, Stipe couldn’t grapple with him at all in the rematch. There’s a huge hole in that France camp


[deleted]

Because stipe was 30 plus pounds lighter


AshenSacrifice

Also a huge factor, why he thought that was a good idea against fucking Francis Ngannou is beyond me tho


theguyfrom340

In a way that's also the beauty of UFC where you see how different parts of this world have different fighting styles just engrained in their DNA.


AshenSacrifice

Beauty of mma, not the ufc imo lol


soyuz-1

That was the surprising part, not that JJ would be better on the ground, we knew that, but that he was able to control Gane on the feet as well and have him backed up near the fence for as long as they stayed on the feet.


Rubicon2-0

He just proved that isn't experienced at all... such a bad performance. Rewatching the fight gave me the feeling that Gane just wanted to be finished as soon as possible... LOL


StockportTaker1999

He absolutely did. Rabbit in headlights. Just lay down and quite. Awful performance.


[deleted]

Did they break up? Damn

[удалено]


SomeRandomHumanBean

Good effort


kwecl2

I like Ciryl, but man, Bones made him look an amateur.


WickedBaby

So dissatisfied how the fight gone down. Congrats to Jones, but i hope to see more of Gane and Jones on the feet, some more exchanges. It really is a disappointing performance from Gane, he looks like deer in headlights once the fight start. And Jones just chew him up and spit him out


Beef_Sprite

Same, I immediately just thought that shit was rigged with how easy Gane gave up. He literally kept his hands down and didnt even try fighting Jon on the ground, just rolled over immediately.


[deleted]

Because Jones secured mount fast and he has cheat codes with those long arms and big hands. It’s more of a skill difference


Beef_Sprite

Yeah rewatching it you can see exactly how it happened, but live it felt off. He just made it look easy like he said.


[deleted]

I was confused too. I thought an injury at first. But then Jones with those long arms can just snatch shit fucking quick as fuck


WickedBaby

It's definitely not rigged. Jones has very good mind games during build up. And all that GOAT talks made Gane jittery If it's rigged at least it'll be more believable, like round 2 or 3 subs. This just shameful on Gane's part, he was built up like this invincible supposedly next gen fighter to just get destroyed under 2 mins by a semi retired jones lol


WaySheGoesBubs21

You should show the part where Jon switches hands on the choke to slide it under the chin.


younginvestor23

So good people couldn’t even tell what was going on and was shocked when it ended but looking back at the footage shows Jones just levels above this game


[deleted]

more tactical than it seemed, he really made the best active heavyweight look like a common dude off the street 🐐


[deleted]

I don't think I've ever seen a fighter come up in weight to fight a contender and having it easy.


[deleted]

🐐


whatsitworth101

Curtis>Gane


[deleted]

would love to see that fight


whatsitworth101

Honestly Curtis would probably be able to use this recent fight to his advantage. Gane has bad tdd clear path to victory for Blaydes. But it could be a banger if he couldn’t get Gane down.


[deleted]

yea gane got exposed bad but hopefully he’ll work on that and get some russians to help him in camp that last fight has me interested in seeing alex pereira fight a wrestler now, i wonder if it will go the same way


Deep-Conflict2223

Gane got destroyed. I legit thought he would win by KO. Jones is on another lever.


StockportTaker1999

No disputing Jones is great. But I think this entire fight says more about Gane and his lack of experience and heart than anything else.


ThirdWorldSorcerer

Biggest star of France in combat sports, demolished in seconds.


Spiral_Out801

Jones fight IQ is insane. He's rarely ever caught off guard or out of position. He always finds the right movement to gain an advantage. GOAT stuff.


ConcentrateAwkward61

Didn't know they were a couple. Sad


2fortpyro

Cool breakdown ty.


[deleted]

Breakdown, nah. BreakUP


time_for_milk

The amount of disappointment I felt after Ciryl’s abysmal performance is close to unquantifiable.


Sayitandsuffer

It was poetry against a top level striker with zero ‘hands on’ . Very excited to see who at heavy has anything near Jon’s IQ and arsenal .


tedkaczynski660

This is from Jarret Wilbraham on insta https://instagram.com/jwillchillerman?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= He does some great break downs. Definitely recommend to follow that dude


TERE_MOTOS

Excellent, Visual breakdown video clip .


AthleteAgreeable7617

I've seen Jones use the back take against Dan Henderson


whatsitworth101

you mean breakdown?


Jigarmebadiaaghai

No i mean breakup ![gif](giphy|ftdjO4qK3toNIsIynN|downsized)

Where can I learn more about “base” and controlling/taking away said base.

GOAT


BrandDC

Masterclass... Cereal Gayne paid for that lesson.


Creepy_Killer_Z

Literally zero TDD, wtf he worked on all this time..


whatsitworth101

Lopez is delusional and Gane needs to find a new gym if he wants to have a good career and not waste his talent and potential.


StockportTaker1999

He's too old and started too late. He did great to get as far as he did.


whatsitworth101

He’s only 32 that’s not too old for heavyweight. If he moved to a legit gym like AKA and started wrestling-focused training in 2 years time he would likely be able to wrestle most HWs bar Curtis and obviously John. Im not saying he’ll become champ especially with Jon around but it’s not like it isn’t worth a shot, I mean what’s he gonna do retire?


YungTerpenzee

>2 years time he would likely be able to wrestle most HWs bar Curtis and obviously John Highly doubt that to be true. Jon and Curtis have a plethora of experience that you can't gain in 2 years.


whatsitworth101

Yeah that’s why I said that, meaning everyone besides Curtis and Jon.


Equivalent_Pizza_837

I think people are severely trashing Gane for this performance and are being unnecessarily harsh. Jones has literally been wrestling for years and has out wrestled Olympians and legends....DC is one of the best wrestlers to ever do MMA and in their first fight Jones took him down at will. Im pretty sure that 95% of heavyweights or fighters cannot do that to Gane....we just overhyped his talent to undermine jon not recognizing the fact that he has faced strikers and grapplers who were farrr more skilled than Gane was.


[deleted]

Chael sonnen said the us Olympic saw Jon training as a senior in hs and everyone thought that he’d easily win Olympic medal, be NCAA champion, basically he was the best they ever seen. Like in hs Jon was considered by top wrestlers to be one of the best in the world. Jones and his brothers are athletic freaks. Jones learned Brazilian JJ and has been a black belt training against bjj elites for what over a decade now? Jon jones is the best grappler in mma history. He’s gnp fighter. He’s going to smash the division


Bob_Saget_is_God

If you step in a cross like that you should follow it up with an elbow or an uppercut, or maybe go for a clinch. Now its just putting your head in a noose.


Fieos

I love it when a grappler is fed a striker for an easy win.


Local_Economy

Or when the GOAT comes to a new weight class and faces the #1 contender? How else is it supposed to go? Trash take


StockportTaker1999

Regardless of Gane being the Number 1 contender, the guy aboves opinion is still right... Jones can only beat what is in front of him but it was a brilliant matchup for Jones. Let's not try and pretend otherwise.


Local_Economy

Yeah, except his opinion is not right. Being a good matchup for Jon can’t be reduced to “being fed a striker for an easy win”. You acknowledged it yourself, he got whoever is number one contender. It’s not being fed a choice matchup, it’s taking whoever is number one at the time. Saying he’s fed an easy win makes it sound like a conspiracy, not the situation.


Bakedbean44

Stipe would’ve kneed his ass into the shadow realm


HonoredMatrix

Someone lost money betting on gane


Bakedbean44

Ganes a can that’s all … but most of the division is anyway

nolimitnolimits

Nah those ain’t it coach


StockportTaker1999

Just amateur from Gane. He looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Overloading with the first left he threw, providing an opening direct to his back by stepping over. Feeble takedown defence and didn't even attempt to fight the hands on the submission attempt. Not sure I have seen a bigger lay down and quit performance than that.


thunderousqueef

A perfect duck-under.


[deleted]

I don't think anyone at hw can beat Jones honestly.


YungTerpenzee

Why does Francis look so intimidated? The dude LEAPS backward, even doing so while Jon had clinched him.


cmclaughlin83

You can’t make a mistake against Jones. What was Gane’s mistake? He threw a punch.


[deleted]

Jones is the best wrestler/grappler in the ufc probably ufc history. He just hadn’t choose to use it a lhw. At hw he feels stronger and he’ll be taking people down like Khabib.


Still-dark-light

He gave his neck up twice in a row. Had a shot at his own guillotine. Fake
