Stipe Miocic feels rested and ready for Jon Jones in November at MSG | ESPN MMA 

Just met him at UFCX, he's the nicest guy on planet earth. Didn't rush his meet and greet, and made sure to tell every fan, enjoy this event and the fights. Class act, godspeed!

Win or lose, he's not only one of the greatest fighters on the planet, but one of the most down to earth dudes as well. Being from and living in NE Ohio, he is so much more than just a fighter, he's one of us, a guy that goes through the grind and represents the hard worker and rugided individual you would find in the area. A volunteer firefighter when he could just count his money and lay back, a guy that could have gone training at a high profile gym but stayed at Strong Style here in Cleveland, a guy that represents the true grit of NE Ohio. Win or lose, I'll always be a Stipe guy and always back a guy that never forgets where he came from.

I’m not counting this man out..👊🏽

I'm not overly optimistic on his chances, but it's good to see him back and healthy after the layoff.

So many comments on Stipe can't do it. But as a long time Stipe fan, I know Stipe always came back stronger. As his Entrance music say lot about him- Till I die. An actual role model and real life hero who happens to be one of the best fighters.

Remember, he was counted out on almost EVERY fight he's been in. Jones doesn't have big KO power and Stipe is an animal on the ground.

I don't think Stipe can pull this off. But if he does, it will be legendary.

Stipe looks like he is in great shape-more like a guy in his young 30s than a 40 year old. This won't be easy for Jon.

Let’s go Stipe! Shock the world brother!

It’s good that Stipe took the needed time off after that devastating K.O. Gonna be rooting for him to get the job done. Love his red collar spirit.

I honestly think Stipe is the one to get it done

Really good to see him again. The hype and buildup for this one is going to be fantastic. Can't wait for the press conference 👍

Stipe is the master of answering no questions while also saying a bunch of stuff lol

Everyone was doubting stipe during stipe/ngannou 1 and remember how that turned out. Stipe thrives as an underdog.

I think he got a chance never underestimate Stipe

I love that Stipe, as a member of the ESL community, is bettering his English 👏

Stipe is and always will be the heavyweight GOAT.

I can understand what people are saying. It sounds like he has his finger pressed on fast forward when he speaks. There’s no pauses when he talks just one blurred sentence

Always humble

Stipe looking JACKED ! Natural, large frame 250

Man given all the excitement and hype around the fight, The feeling of maybe its potentially the last fight for both these legends is an overwhelming thought. Jon has clearly said that there's no real challenge for him left after beating Stipe, so the potential matchup against Sergei Pavlovich, Sergey Spivac or even Curtis Blaydes are not some of the fights that interests Jon Jones, and coming back to Stipe he's 41 yr old and a UFC legend in every sense of the word, would love to see him put up a great show in his potential last fight, although given the kind of wreak Jones havoced on a prime Cyril Gane, there's not a lot of practical chance in favour of Stipe!!!

Love Stipe. 👍🇺🇸

Stipe looks in great shape ✊🏿✊🏿

Where is the translator?

I understood 100% of he said, crystal clear. If you can't. Your're the dummy period. NO questions.

Biggest and best year in Combat sports in 30 years easy. So many great fights coming.

You know when there's a stipe interview the close captions are gonna be the highlight.

WOW looking 4ward 2 this👊

I honestly can’t believe no one is giving stipe a chance. Way bigger threat than Gane who lacks the wrestling. Stipe is big, strong, has wrestling ability, chin, and the power to ko him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins

STIPE ALL THE WAY💯💯💯 LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!

I cant wait for this fight

This will be an epic fight!

He looks thick. You can tell he’s put on more muscle and size. I think this will be a grappling war against the cage and whoever has the better cardio and conditioning will most likely win. I don’t see Jon KO’ing Stipe. I can see Stipe KO’ing Jon though. He is the bigger man and a true heavyweight. We shall see.

Nobody thought Du Plessis could beat Whittaker but he pulled it off. This sport is very unpredictable and we'd be very wise not to count out the GOAT of HW. 🐐

EVERYBODY IS ALWAYS UNDERESTIMATE STIPE MIOCIC

I hope you Win Stipe!!

Ready to see stipe cement his legacy as the greatest ufc heavyweight ever BUT if he pulls it off he would also have the accolades of being the only person to beat jones and Cormier that’s not even close to an easy fight but stipe is great ready to see the return LETS GO CHAMP 2023!

I think Stipe will win, and if he does Francis is going to celebrate more than Stipe 😂

Let's go stipe

Thank god for the captions

Stipe has never lost by SUB. Bones almost definitely can NOT KO him.... Stipe can KO Jones, but most likely not choke him out. Mathmatics says gotta take Stipe but heart says Jon. Great fight LFG

Being a fan of both Jones and stipe , this is a trivial matchup . But if anyone could have beaten Jones it’s stipe …. Stipe prepares well for his opponent . His mid fight adjustments is at par with Jones . Both have good fight Iq . Stipe has heavy hands … so it’s sort of an Equalizer fight for both of them . People remember last time how Stipe got KO’d …. But they forget how he literally out wrestled Ngannou in their first meet . Well Stipe has been KO’d by DC as well but look how he won next 2 fights with DC

Lets go Stipe !!!

Great questions

I like Stipe, but Jon will win the fight. My hope is Jon doesn't retire if he wins the fight. Stipe on the other hand might retire even if he wins.

GOAT VS GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🔥😱👑🔥

Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA

Such an intriguing fight

Let’s be honest, Sergei is the guy that is next for jones. Who gets a title shot after a brutal ko

Stipe is like Boomhauer. You understand allittle more every time you hear him speak

Anthony Smith was saying Stipe was looking huge and jacked! Packing on a ton of muscle....looks the same

lets go stipe!

If there’s anyone that has a chance to stop Jon at this point, it’s definitely Stipe.

I’m rooting for Stipe, it will be tough though.

One of my favourites fighters in the UFC but I really fear that after over 2y without fighting, at his age, he has very little chances and it's a pity

Stipe can win this fight. You people are underestimating this dude.

If anyone its only Stipe 🔥. Both r my favs though 😭

I love Stipe but I really dont think he should fight Jon. His CTE is bad enough

I could actually understand him in this interview

Stoked for this hope he wins

Im calling it now. Stipe gets it done.

I wish this was 2017 Stipe who had that incredible aura about him. Even Jon delayed moving up after he saw Stipe put Overeem's lights out😂

Glasschin

Easy work for Jones

Hes such a man

DC must be going through it tough bout to see his parents go at it in november

The heavyweight goat is back to reclaim his throne 🔥

Bet on black

God Id love atipe to humble Jon. Stipe one of the nicest dudes in the sport

And New 7x heavyweight champion of the world 🇭🇷🇭🇷

Can't wait ! I got jones tho ..

Stipe should be a mumble rapper when his ufc career is over

This guy. I will.

This will be epic

I like Stipe....because I mumble like him 😅

Lets Go Champ!

Crazy, favorite light heavy weight fighter for 11 years vs my heavy weight fighter of 8….. I can’t pick

People are confused about Stipe. I think he wins it easy. He's big, strong, has a great chin, tremendous cardio and he can wrestle. Think about it, he beat Francis blow by blow the first time around. I will be putting money down on this one. Stipe - Round 2. TKO

My heart is with Stipe, but my mind is only with Jones, great fight all the way in!!!! Cheers from Russia folks

I actually understood everything Stipe said...:)

Dont lie stipe lol

Stipe will give Jones a tough fight , he’s the heavyweight goat after all 🔥

New mythical fighter- Stipe that can speak clearly

1:17 "i will"

Jones is gonna finish Stipe faster than Cyril Gane. Easy

Watch Stipe will beat Daddy Dana's boi JJ🎉

Every other video has subtitles for Stipe... get with the program

Megan so crispy

He ain't ready for Jon!

Gifted another title shot. But y'all aren't ready to hear that

Stipe via TKO! Ground and pound baby!

My two favorite fighters of all time. One has to lose 😢

'Rested'??? The man hasn't fought for 2 years! He's gotten plenty of rest😃 The last time he stepped into the Octagon he got socked the f**k out by Francis Ngannou. Stipe will most likely retire after Jon Jones beats him up.

Stipe has the wrestling and boxing to beat Jones 🔥

Corbin Dallas has returned 😂😂😂 good to see Stipe!

sophisticated hulk

Good luck Stipe! Get that W!

Stipe is a beast and the greatest heavyweight ever with the most title defenses but I don't see him beating Jon Jones

HEAVYWEIGHT GOAT

Come on stipe
