00:00You've got a co-main event at UFC 309 John Jones is putting his title on the line right against Stipe Mijic
00:06How do you see that clash between the all-time great bones and the two-time former champ who are both coming off long layoffs?
00:13How do you expect that to play out?
00:15Yeah, it's the greatest fighter of all time versus the greatest heavyweight of all time
00:19I think that you know, it's very clear what I think about John Jones as a fighter
00:24But I think a lot of people are sleeping on Stipe
00:27They forgot I mean Stipe knocked out Daniel Cormier who's one of the greatest of all time too and a
00:35ton of other heavyweights he is a
00:38He's a real threat in this fight, and I think people are sleeping on him. Damn Dana. You beat me to it
00:43I was so proud of that point too. I was gonna say is it me or are people sleeping on Stipe and
00:48Disrespecting this guy. I mean disrespecting this guy
00:51I think folks are
00:52Overestimating how tough a fight this could be for Jones who's only fought once himself in the last four years and only once at heavyweight
00:58They are not only sleeping on Stipe. They're disrespecting him, aren't they?
01:02Yeah, and I know the way Stipe thinks I know his mindset
01:06It's driving him crazy and he's pissed off probably at the fact that so many people are
01:11Disrespecting him and I think it makes for a very interesting fight
