Just as many my friend, must as many. But that's the point lol. Fighters are inactive because of injuries. You don't get a pass just cause you get injured. Most of the criticism for fighters who are inactive is injuries and pull outs. Even if I give a break and say 13 vs 12, it's still pretty...

What are we thinking???? If Olviera moves to 170 we could possibly see this somehow. Olivera vs Leon.

Charles beats him!

Well, I said from the time that Khabib was signed, he was signed in 2011. Khabib fought in Jan of 2012 and Jones fought in Decmeber of 2011, it's a month apart. Jon fought in March 2020 and Khabib in Oct 2020, it evens out. So in that time frame, they both fought 13 times over 9 years. So they...

I don't think there is much cherry picking going on here for an easier fight. This narrative that Stipe is this old man and Jon has some big advantage here is something I don't agree with. I think Jon just wants the name value of Stipe and his legacy and the pay day. Stipe has 24 fights, Jon...

You are right with Tyson, those two beat a well beyond prime Tyson and those wins don't count for much. But I don't think that example crosses over to Stipe/Jon so much. Both Williams and McBride were in their early 30s while Mike was 38 and 39 and had more than 20+ fights than both and had...

But the thing is that Khabib is not more active than Jon at all. From the time Khabib was signed to the UFC and an active fighter, 2011 to 2020, both Khabib and Jon have 13 fights. And as I pointed out, Khabib was a prospect and moving up the ranks, while Jon was a champion the whole time...

I personally want to see both fights equally. Most are critical of the Stipe fight, I myself think it's a good fight and really want to see it and before Tom. But I do really wanna see the Tom fight right after.

Wait a minute, are you really comparing Jon to Khabib here and how many fights they had?? Both have 29 fights. Jon has 16 title fights of 29 while Khabib has 4. Jon has been a championship level fighter since 2011, of course he's gonna be less active than most fighters, all champions are. And...

The problem with Blaydes is that he's not marketable. And when you have guys like that, they way the get title shots and continue to stay as contenders is simply by fighting and putting together longer winning streaks. The issue and especially at HW is they lose eventually. Blaydes career has...

Name value it's Stipe no doubt. Relevance wise it's Tom no doubt.

Keep it standing and outbox Jon is the path. Just like Gus and Reyes who had the most success vs Jon.

Very interesting point and something that would be worth of having it's own thread. You had.... Jones - 11 title defenses 2011-2020 Aldo - 9 defenses 2010-2015 GSP - 10 defenses 2006 - 2013 Silva - 12 defenses 2006 - 2013 Johnson - 12 defenses 2013 - 2018 USADA came in the UFC in 2015 which...

He does not have an advantage on the feet lol, Dustin has the far better stand up game. Islam standup is underated, yes, but it's not level of Dustin.

Here is the problem and why fans would be upset. While you are correct and Jon did have 15 years of dominance and gave us what IMO is the best greatest career in MMA. The last 5 years of that run was all about his move to HW which was talked about since 2013. And as fans all we get is two...

This will go down as one of the biggest ducks of all time in MMA if he doesn't fight Tom. Unless he's just building demand and hyping the fight.

He will defend the interim belt 1x max. He’s fighting in July. Jon will fight in November. If Jon and Tom win they fight. If Jon retires after Stipe, Tom gets promoted to champion. Either scenario he can defend once.

I think he meant Jon is the only champ not to fight the interim champ.

Bit worrisome considering the timing. These fights booked so far in advance can have a greater chance of injury. But if someone pulls out, I guess Tom would step in.

No surprise there
