August 2023: most people picked Sterling to wrestlefuck O’Malley, gets his takedowns stuffed and knocked out.
September 2023: Sean Strickland pulls off imo the biggest upset in UFC history. Not a wild fluke KO, not a submission over the kickboxing champ, just 25 minutes of pure boxing dominance from a guy who was 2-2 in the last year over the #2 GOAT MW at worst.
October 2023: what were the odds of a round 1 Islam head kick KO? No matter who you picked to win, I think everyone agrees that was literally the least likely outcome.
This year has been wild. I give Stipe a 1% chance but… nothing is certain this year.
With how poor your bet on Volk was this past weekend (which you didn’t even have the balls to own up to), my confidence in Stipe has just diminished considerably.
Stipe has been knocked out unconscious in 2 of his last 4 fights. He has not fought since March of 2021. He’s now 41 years old
Jon jones on the other hand is 36, has not had his jaw cracked in a fight since Feb. 2020 in a fight he won. He’s coming off a win he took no significant strikes or any damage in general
Stipe has no chance. Sterling and SO’M winning has nothing to do with stipe
