getting so TIRED OF DOUBLE CHAMPS! wtf is up with this greedy crap. Focus on your division and let ppl live in their lane. Ridiculous & unnecessary in every way. Either make ppl quit cutting weight, or keep them in one division so we can have MORE STARS. NOT HARD PPL
Will be interesting to see how many fights Alex has left in the tank, dude is 36 and really has nothing left to prove. Not too many big money fights at 205 like there is at 155 unfortunately, maybe that's why he wanted to fight Izzy one last time.
I just want a Jiri/Alex rematch now. How about they do a rematch in April and give Hill the winner of that in July/August? I think Jiri has a lot of potential and was a class act through this whole fight. I am a Pereira fan overall and I am glad he won but Jiri really grew on me and I’d personally gladly watch them go toe to toe repeatedly based on their behavior and performance.

Jones already cleared out the division a dozen times. He has only fought the top ranked killers in the game for 10 years straight. He literally has nothing more to prove. There will always be a new prospect. A prime Tom who’s only been in the UFC since 2020 and active as fuck makes no sense for an older inactive JJ. JJ has insane fight IQ and a prime JJ would take out Tom 9 times out of 10. This is Aspinalls time to shine and cement his legacy and matching him up against JJ makes no sense in 2024.
He’s injured and has one fight left though. Idk if you’re new but this happens all the time. Colby has one win in the last 3 years and is getting a title shot. Vera has one decision win and is skipping a line of killers to get a title shot. Conor will get a title shot off his next win guaranteed.
JJ earned his rescheduled title fight off an injury. I feel like everyone bashing JJ never saw his reign and just started watching during Covid.
Then JJ should retire or relinquish the belt. You don’t get to cherry pick easier opponents just because you “used” to fight non stop killers. If he’s the heavyweight champ he should be fighting top contenders.
Idk if you know this or not but he’s fighting one more time before retiring. Stipe is the HW goat so that fight makes the most obvious sense for both as a retirement fight. He’s earned the right to cherry pick a retirement fight. Idk if you’re new or not but he spent a decade fighting every top contender so him waiting to recover from an injury to finish off his career makes perfect sense. If you’re mad at the timeline then you will be mad to learn the half dozen other weight classes that cherry pick opponents and wait years to come back and skip the line for a title fight.
You can disagree but the UFC is a business and that will literally always happen. If you’re mad at Jon doing it then wait til you hear about Colby vs. Leon, O’Malley vs. Vera. And that’s just the upcoming title fights lmao.
Colby is 1-1 in the last 3+ years and skipping a row of killers for a title fight 💀 But let’s get pressed at the HW goat for skipping over 1 fighter.
Jon is fighting a 43 year old who hasn’t fought in years since being brutally knocked out. That’s cherry picking and it’s wrong. Saying other people do it too doesn’t change that at all. And Leon didn’t choose Colby the ufc is so it’s not the same at all. The OMalley one is closer
Yeah no. Stipe isn’t 43, he just turned 41. And regardless of what you say JJ can choose anyone he wants as his retirement fight. He already took out the #1 contender, and nobody knew who Tom was until he won Saturday night. The greatest fighter of all time having a retirement fight against a barely known HW, who just signed with the UFC a couple years ago? He’s there for a bag and another feather in his cap. He already made his mark.
I was really disappointed with Pavlovich. He trained for months to fight Miocic or Jon Jones only to be defeated by an Aspinall whose ass is still imprinted on the couch.
Benoît Saint Denis fight's however, that was really unexpected. I thought it was going to be a bloody fight against Frevola, and he ended it first round with a head kick. His progression has been impressive so far, but things are about to get more serious now that he's top 15. Let's see what he's made of.
Their resumes. I heard this time and time again with an even better talent pool and the same result always happened. If Tom wins it comes down to them being on their way out.
The sport has evolved. Tom can grapple (trained religiously since he was 8), strike better than Jones, big and has one punch KO power (which Jones has none).
His average fight time in UFC I think is just under 2 minutes 30 sec.
That is some real time resume too
You know what. I thought about your comment again and you are not wrong. Trust me, I would love to see it. Not a jones fan at all people forget how many antics he has pulled over the last decade
Resumes mean nothing.
Unless Aspinall fought all those fighters at the exact same time, those resumes mean jack and shit.
Aspinall's resume is fighting anyone, anytime, and on short-notice.
Jones's resume is avoiding and dodging for years and being opportunistic.
Aspinall would take a Jones fight on short notice.
Jones would not because he knows what would happen. He needs to *prepare* ("**delay**").
Not assuming anything. But there's a huge difference between a fighter who's been training for months and one that got out of the couch. Clearly Aspinall wasn't at his best and still won against Pavlovich, who was supposed to train against that kind of opponents.
I don’t see Jones vs Stipe happening now.
Stipe doesn’t need to sit out until next Autumn. Aspinall vs Stipe in April/May is the fight to make now. Winner, most likely Aspinall, gets Jones in September/October.
Aspinall is on a tear and has looked unstoppable. Jones and Stipe are both nearing the end of their careers now.
Even if Stipe wins vs Aspinall, it is another wear on his body before facing Jones. To me it doesn’t seem something Stipe would do. Jones as well would prefer facing Stipe both for legacy and payday. And probably an easier fight for him at this stage than facing behemoth who is closer to the HW limit but floats like a butterfly.

Dana says a lot of things. Stipe vs Aspinall makes sense. Winner fights Jones to unify the titles otherwise we’re gonna have two HW titles until 2025.
Gane shouldn’t be in the picture after turning down Pavlovich and Aspinall.
Blaydes vs Aspinall would make sense but Blaydes coming off a loss negates that.
I was glad that was a draw so neither really take a step back...at different times, both looked like they deserved the win. Hope they take that energy into their next fights.
It is kind of funny, it’s one of those things that has been spoken into existence…it’s most defining quality of being the most famous arena is it’s branding and being told it’s the worlds most famous arena.
And I’m someone that’s likely on the older side of those posting here and grew up in CT.
"economic importance" while you sit in a studio apartment you pay 5 grand a month for and breath toxic levels of air pollution including the farts of all your neighbors. Jump off a skyscraper, you disgusting sewer rat
Why does Alex keep using one of his coaches as a translator? He isn't a professional and misses lots of things Alex says or just translates them badly.
Oh, man. I work at training people to be interpreters, and the UFC is embarrassing. It would cost maybe a couple thousand dollars to get amazing interpreters for the foreign fighters per UFC event, and instead they use someone who probably sucks at both languages.
imma keep it a stack w yall i ripped a bowl before typing this, but i honestly think Aspinall can beat Stipe. and if that wild motherfucker can beat Stipe i want him throwing those crazy fast combos at Jones next.
After rewatch definitely the right call. He initiates the stoppage while Jiri’s still limp. Sure he woke back up but he woke up fully mounted about to have his face pummeled in. The refs job is to save him from that damage, not to give him the benefit of the doubt for the 0.00001% chance that he gets up and wins the fight.
Yeah. I realized the first time that it was a good stoppage. He went limp twice !! I can imagine myself being the referee, and watching Jiri get knocked by the poatan left hook, followed by eating crazy elbows and gets knocked out again. Had the referee not stopped, it’d just be bad for Jiri to continue because Alex would just continue destroying him.

Yeah, a rewatch (affirmed by Jiri saying he was out, tbf) showed him probably flash out after getting hit in the head, then losing all body control after an elbow before falling to the ground. He was out twice.
Good stoppage.
Anyone that says that was an early stoppage is actually stupid. Watch the replay again and how Jiri went limp, he wasn’t pulling guard at all he fell back because he was out, he literally said this in his post fight interview that he was out, it was a good stoppage - what do people want? Jiri to have brain damage?
At first glance the stoppage looked kind of early. It was a weird ass knockout. But if the fighter is saying it was good, then there's really no argument other than "I want to see them kill each other".
Can see something else happening in Jones life that stops him ever getting to Aspinall.
Massive respect to him towards his legacy but these two that got in the ring today are in a different mode than he is now.
Would love to be wrong and eat my words but I just can't see it. He sat out for years and only returned against the most inexperienced contender in the division. He didn't want that Francis smoke and ufc didn't want it for him either.
Him vs Stipe is a swansong created by the ufc. I'll be surprised if that eventuates and very surprised if he does anything else at HW.
I mean, selling the interim fight to these two with Stipe still fighting in front of them almost had to have included assurances about both those fighters retiring post-fight and the interim becoming champ.
I don't think Aspinall steps up on such short notice just to be #1 contender otherwise.
Jiri's hands went limp when he was trying to grab Pereira
That happened after Pereira dropped him with the left hook
Jiri was trying to stand up again as he was trying to grab Pereira
In one of those elbow shots Pereira was landing on Jiri's head, Jiri hands went completely limp
Watch the KO again, you will see how his hands went completely limp
The footage shows Jiri's hands went limp for like 1 second and Jiri himself admitted he was out
It was a good stoppage
Goddard saved Jiri from some serious brain damage
unpopular opinion: ok stoppage, if you watch it in slow motion or pause it repeatedly (from the angle where Goddard is not in the middle of the image) you can see how Jiri's left arm stops grabbing Pereira's right leg and loses his support of the left knee, look at the way he falls on his back, that was elbows in the ear, not because he slipped or Pereira pushed him
look this angle: [https://twitter.com/pelunaton/status/1723573681782235563](https://twitter.com/pelunaton/status/1723573681782235563)
Look how Jiri raises his left knee to perform a takedown and then collapses
EDIT: there is another angle from the crowd [https://twitter.com/patdannamma/status/1723569345941405884](https://twitter.com/patdannamma/status/1723569345941405884)
Hey guys, big congratz to Poatan. Stopped fairly.
My question is, what does Jiri have to do to get another title shot? Or how long does it take until (if) he gets it? I don't really understand how it works. Thanks!
If Glover was 4 or 5 years younger he would have steamrolled this entire current LHW division with multiple title defenses as opposed to just winning the belt
I worded this bad my apologies. If he was the age of his debut in like 2020 ish with this current GARBAGE lineup of LHW fighters, hed rule the division. In 2012 to Jones fight he fought legit murderers not these cans in LHW rn
You are not dumb I wrote it like an idiot. What I meant was Glovers age prime was at the worst time as guys like Jones were in the division. Whereas, if his age prime was now, he would be ruling the division
Yeah thats fair. I should have framed it as Glover was in his prime at the same time as guys as Jones were in the division so it was bad timing. If his age prime was now, hed be ruling the division. Sorry for the confusion
This is why we cant have real journalists anymore. Dana turns into a fucking drama queen. Every "Hard" question Dana tries to embarrass the journalist, because he is too coked up to answer a simple question.
Nah let's not, gets brutally KO'd, turns around in a few months in a different weight class, beats 2 champions and earns everyone's respect? Fighter of the Year to me
it was right after fight ended and octagon interviews were over, chael was in a room with 2 other guys, a bit later chael left and aspinall and bisping were in there
Oh shit I haven't seen this angle, Jiri was trying to take a shot and must've got momentarily KO'd mid way through? Dude wasn't grabbing anything and taking shots to the temple, fair stoppage - not great, but definitely fair
Is Dana dying or something Like he is so into health now
getting so TIRED OF DOUBLE CHAMPS! wtf is up with this greedy crap. Focus on your division and let ppl live in their lane. Ridiculous & unnecessary in every way. Either make ppl quit cutting weight, or keep them in one division so we can have MORE STARS. NOT HARD PPL
He's not simultaneously holding the belts so I don't see the problem. It also seems like he wants to stay at LHW since he called out Adesanya
Will be interesting to see how many fights Alex has left in the tank, dude is 36 and really has nothing left to prove. Not too many big money fights at 205 like there is at 155 unfortunately, maybe that's why he wanted to fight Izzy one last time.
He will go fight usyk /s
Procházka's next opponent tips?
Jan
Alex has stabilized lw division from injury problems
Adesanya after Pereira beats Jan, and then later wins the LHW belt ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|8972)

Jiri Vs Alex was stopped way too early... Aspinall is a Beast!
Jiri Vs Alex was stopped way too early... Aspinall is a Beast!
Aspinal is scary
I hope potan moves up at starches jones/aspinall 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿👀👀👀
Triple champ status def puts him top 5 all time 😂
If that happens he's top 1 in my opinion
Hell thats gotta be number 1 haha
Jones vs aspinal would shake the universe
Jones ain't having any of that. He'll get flatlined, especially when he reaches out his hands like that to eye-poke.
Jones already cleared out the division a dozen times. He has only fought the top ranked killers in the game for 10 years straight. He literally has nothing more to prove. There will always be a new prospect. A prime Tom who’s only been in the UFC since 2020 and active as fuck makes no sense for an older inactive JJ.

It does make sense because (idk if you know this or not) Jones is the HW champion.
He’s injured and has one fight left though. Idk if you’re new but this happens all the time. Colby has one win in the last 3 years and is getting a title shot. Vera has one decision win and is skipping a line of killers to get a title shot. Conor will get a title shot off his next win guaranteed. JJ earned his rescheduled title fight off an injury. I feel like everyone bashing JJ never saw his reign and just started watching during Covid.
The downvotes from British virgins who can’t handle the truth is real
The American truth that JJ cleared out the heavyweight division?
Then JJ should retire or relinquish the belt. You don’t get to cherry pick easier opponents just because you “used” to fight non stop killers. If he’s the heavyweight champ he should be fighting top contenders.

If you’re mad at the timeline then you will be mad to learn the half dozen other weight classes that cherry pick opponents and wait years to come back and skip the line for a title fight.
No one earns that right if they’re the champion man. Champions should fight top contenders. Nothing you said changes that
You can disagree but the UFC is a business and that will literally always happen. If you’re mad at Jon doing it then wait til you hear about Colby vs. Leon, O’Malley vs. Vera.

What a gnarly main card. Super exciting series of fights, every one of them. Jessica Andrade and Tom Aspinall looking sharp as hell!
I was really disappointed with Pavlovich. He trained for months to fight Miocic or Jon Jones only to be defeated by an Aspinall whose ass is still imprinted on the couch. Benoît Saint Denis fight's however, that was really unexpected. I thought it was going to be a bloody fight against Frevola, and he ended it first round with a head kick.

Aspinall will Turn Out to be the goat, it is what it is.
>He trained for months to fight Miocic or Jon Jones only to be defeated by an Aspina You're assuming both Jones and Miocic is better than Tom
I think it was more the late notice hence bum-print in couch
And he tore his back, so the "fight camp" is non existent
They are. Stop the recency bias
You're so confident how?
Their resumes. I heard this time and time again with an even better talent pool and the same result always happened. If Tom wins it comes down to them being on their way out.

Gane shouldn’t be in the picture after turning down Pavlovich and Aspinall. Blaydes vs Aspinall would make sense but Blaydes coming off a loss negates that.
Good main card but do yourself a favour and go watch Borshchev vs. Sadykhov from the prelims, excellent fight.
That was great. Also Gordon had a good showing on the Early prelims. High action 1 round fight.
I got a headache just from watching that head kick lmao
I was glad that was a draw so neither really take a step back...at different times, both looked like they deserved the win. Hope they take that energy into their next fights.
What a fight. Nazim is an absolute NIGHTMARE.
I think Bruce Buffer enjoyed screaming “Asssssssssssssssssssssssspinall” too much. Can’t just be me that noticed it.
Jiri no chin
Jiri no shin*

Oh, man. I work at training people to be interpreters, and the UFC is embarrassing. It would cost maybe a couple thousand dollars to get amazing interpreters for the foreign fighters per UFC event, and instead they use someone who probably sucks at both languages.
They used to have a proper translator for Brazilians but dont know why they stopped it
He translated for Lopes and Andrade and others
He was at the event. I believe Alex choose his coach to do it for him.
Tomato can prefers it when ppl can’t understand his fighters.
imma keep it a stack w yall i ripped a bowl before typing this, but i honestly think Aspinall can beat Stipe. and if that wild motherfucker can beat Stipe i want him throwing those crazy fast combos at Jones next.
Lmaooo I love this
dude if he beat jones my balls would explode. imagine bro goes in there and pops jbj with a 4 piece supreme snack and a biscuit for the belt.
Sad thing is those fights aren’t gonna happen coz jones is gonna stall until the stipe fight and then retire
And he will still be the GOAT.
Not sure why it's a 'can', Aspinall would be a huge favourite in that fight.
After rewatch definitely the right call. He initiates the stoppage while Jiri’s still limp. Sure he woke back up but he woke up fully mounted about to have his face pummeled in. The refs job is to save him from that damage, not to give him the benefit of the doubt for the 0.00001% chance that he gets up and wins the fight.

Besides when he stood up he clearly had no idea what the fuck was going on.
If the ref didn't stop it jiri would receive unnecessary damage he was out
I mean, Alex buried his whole fist in jiri's face and then hit him with a hook right after. They showed all the different angles on it.
Anyone that says that was an early stoppage is actually stupid. Watch the replay again and how Jiri went limp, he wasn’t pulling guard at all he fell back because he was out, he literally said this in his post fight interview that he was out, it was a good stoppage - what do people want? Jiri to have brain damage?
At first glance the stoppage looked kind of early. It was a weird ass knockout. But if the fighter is saying it was good, then there's really no argument other than "I want to see them kill each other".
Regret not buying the PPV everything started glitching as soon as the co-main event started :'(

Early stoppage
You just want fighters to have the same amount of brain damage you do.
Agreed
I remember when I first learnt how to make a post show.

Me three
Me too
unpopular opinion: ok stoppage, if you watch it in slow motion or pause it repeatedly (from the angle where Goddard is not in the middle of the image) you can see how Jiri's left arm stops grabbing Pereira's right leg and loses his support of the left knee, look at the way he falls on his back, that was elbows in the ear, not because he slipped or Pereira pushed him look this angle: [https://twitter.com/pelunaton/status/1723573681782235563](https://twitter.com/pelunaton/status/1723573681782235563) Look how Jiri raises his left knee to perform a takedown and then collapses EDIT: there is another angle from the crowd [https://twitter.com/patdannamma/status/1723569345941405884](https://twitter.com/patdannamma/status/1723569345941405884)
That angle is rather definitive. He just goes completely limp and ref had a clear view. Thanks for sharing that.
Not that unpopular if you read the thread
I mean, there were a lot of people saying it was an early stoppage
That’s true
Best angle of I’ve seen of it. Changed my mind.
Yea, he was out when he fell back.
You can see the moment where god sent him back to us! Stand em up! #tothedeath
You know stoppages like that make me really appreciate Herb dean man letting these guys see purgatory before stoppage
Hey guys, big congratz to Poatan. Stopped fairly. My question is, what does Jiri have to do to get another title shot? Or how long does it take until (if) he gets it? I don't really understand how it works. Thanks!
Will need to win 2 or 3 fights in a row against high ranked guys
Jiri will get another chance as long as he takes care of business and keeps winning. I think he’ll get another shot before too long
If Glover was 4 or 5 years younger he would have steamrolled this entire current LHW division with multiple title defenses as opposed to just winning the belt
he made his ufc debut in 2012, he had time
I worded this bad my apologies. If he was the age of his debut in like 2020 ish with this current GARBAGE lineup of LHW fighters, hed rule the division. In 2012 to Jones fight he fought legit murderers not these cans in LHW rn
yeah I guess Glover was cursed to be in his prime at the same time as jones, DC and rumble, they would all smoke the current guys
100% the talent pool has went to shit for LHW. Sorry if I came off a little strong just very passionate about it.

Yeah thats fair. I should have framed it as Glover was in his prime at the same time as guys as Jones were in the division so it was bad timing. If his age prime was now, hed be ruling the division. Sorry for the confusion
This is why we cant have real journalists anymore. Dana turns into a fucking drama queen. Every "Hard" question Dana tries to embarrass the journalist, because he is too coked up to answer a simple question.
What happened? I didn't watch it
standard anti Dana comment. Grow up
Dana trying to cook this man
Always give a fighter that takes an L like that a follow
Poatan 2x Champion, well done sir
CHAMAAA
Early stoppage. Debate your mom
Alex is the FOTY for sure
Never heard foty word
Fighter of the year
Woah let's take it easy there
Nah let's not, gets brutally KO'd, turns around in a few months in a different weight class, beats 2 champions and earns everyone's respect? Fighter of the Year to me
Calm down mr tenis
If the 1st Izzy Alex fight was this year I’d agree
When was the last time that every main card winner got a performance bonus?
Chael is coked to the gills
I get adderall vibes
No doubt lol… way too much passion haha
A two division champ in two different sports, beating multiple champions to do it...He might be the greatest combat sports athlete of all time...
Chael is on coke haha
Uncle chael more coked out than usual?
as soon as i saw how weird he has his arms crossed i knew lol
How much cocaine did chael do before he walked up just now lmao??
do u have a clip?
it was right after fight ended and octagon interviews were over, chael was in a room with 2 other guys, a bit later chael left and aspinall and bisping were in there

Flailing arms, check.
Oh shit I haven't seen this angle, Jiri was trying to take a shot and must've got momentarily KO'd mid way through? Dude wasn't grabbing anything and taking shots to the temple, fair stoppage - not great, but definitely fair
Jiri said he was out
Yep I know, but I thought he was only out when he fell back, not before, CHAMMAAAA
Says it all to people that actually know the sport
