I'm not exactly sure he will fight someone before the title shot.. I know the timing makes no sense as far as keeping him on the shelf and if Stipe beats Ngannou then we all know he wont fight again for 9+ months at the very least but who is there? Rozenstruik is fighting Gane in March Lewis vs Blaydes in February Overeem vs Volkon in February Stipe v Ngannou in March That's the Top-8 at HW in the rankings and he damn sure isnt fighting beneath that and unless one of the above starches someone quickly taking 0 damage, who is he going to fight? Is Jones even going to take a fight vs Blaydes or Gane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsandBroncos Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The worst thing that can happen is Stipe wins and takes a year off AGAIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 There's 0% chance they let Stipe hold up the heavyweight division again. Not with Bones waiting in the wings. They'd either strip Stipe or Jon would fight and defend the Interim title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd almost bet Jon fights twice before Stipe fights again after Francis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stipe fought 4 times in 17 months from January 2016 to May 2017 but has fought 4 times (soon to be 5) since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 fights with DC I don't think Stipe took that awful much damage. Besides an Eye cut, or poke rather since it was DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Dustin Poirier vs Conor McGregor - 1 Dan Hooker vs Michael Chandler - 2 Matt Frevola vs Ottman Azaitar - 3 Jessica Eye vs Joanne Calderwood - 4 Nasrat Haqparast vs Arman Tsarukyan - 5 Brad Tavares vs Antonio Carlos Junior - 6 Marina Rodriguez vs Amanda Ribas - 7 Julianna Pena vs Sara McMann - 8 Khalil Roundtree vs Marcin Prachnio - 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC landed 181 significant strikes: http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/6921344f8e706d0f He absorbed over 100 strikes (at heavyweight) in the third fight as well. And that's not to mention any damage/injuries he got from both fight camps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
