Jon has arguably been as inactive as Stipe considering his HW title win only lasted two minutes. Biggest question here is Stipe's age and durability after being put out by Francis.

[ronaldrey]

Cruz has a amazing fight IQ.
When he talks I listen .

[josephcarlson]

Dom is so intelligent in the fight game

[shokhrukhkhaytimov]

Don you were not 42 when you came back from an injury brotha. No matter who you are age get you, we just saw it recently!

Stipe needs to not wait for him or he'll get picked apart with John's nasty unconventional attacks. Eye Pokes, oblique kicks, nasty elbows, etc. smother him and make it a brawl, clinch right away, work the body like with DC, stay tight ground and pound make it a nasty war before John starts hurting him with his amazing abilities.

Prime Cruz was one of the greatest fighters ever

[drilldrulus]

The biggest thing in my mind it seems to o me that Stipe have lost the ability to detect shoots coming in he uses his head as defence. So the only strategy for him is to make it into a slugg fest from the start and hope Jones falls before him.

Dom is very cool when he’s not being condescending

[Demag.FrederickGeorgeES]

Hey dominick !! When can we see you in the octagon again ? 😊

[GrubKiller]

Ring rust IS real. But yeah, you have to torture/rebuild yourself if you want to get back in there.

[yendevus]

Ain't no party like a diddy party.

[celebratecrypto]

Stipe is a superb wrestler and a superb puncher. Go watch stipe vs francis 1 he best Francis bad the entire time he can do that to Jon as well and stipe beat many other champions. Stipe is way better then everyone thinks these new fans have no clue go look up his fights this is a bad match up for jones

[MNToThat]

Jones is looking for a sub so if Stipe has an answer to Jones low kicks and the calf kick meta that has crept in since he last fought, it might be a long night for Jones.

My heart says Stipe, my head says Jones (reluctantly)

I hope Stipe gets it done and retires with the belt, ruining everyone's plans. He deserves it after being written off by everyone for the last year.

[ShallowDepression]

I came to see the Dominator, but it started off with the Diddler.

[thewayback]

Nah Jones ain’t even fighting Tom. He’s been running scared ever since the Reyes fight in which he got smacked around.

[BrandonKMMA]

Dom is annoying but he's a pure legend

[modaloperator]

Stipe took Ngannou down and held him down for five rds. He can take Jones down.

[Theable]

What does "take into notion" mean? Lol

[clintkennedy]

Jones tore his pec, not his bicep ... Mr. Chastises his coworkers for not preparing.

[ssvd]

Dom needs to just admit hes retired already.
