Think they should put either Volk vs Yair Rodriguez or Moreno vs Pantoja as main event on this card because I think 290 is going to have 3 title fight with Jones vs Stipe as the main event of that card

This cards sucks for a ppv, so maybe they just gave up on it, Nate Landwher vs Dan Ige and Wonderboy vs Perreria  are the only fights i care about on this card

I saw somewhere Jones vs stipe isn’t happening on that card because stipe is once again being difficult

I wish he’d just retire if he doesn’t wanna fight. He’s literally done nothing the past three years & doesn’t even deserve a rematch yet he’s getting one, and he’s STILL making things difficult

I think if Stipe doesn't fight in international fight week he won't get a title shot because the winner of Pavlovic vs Blaydes will derseve it, I think at the moment no one deserve it so they're might as well give it to the best heavyweight ever in MMA history

I remember watching an old interview from Jones (when Cormier went to HW) & he basically said he didn’t want to go to HW to fight DC because DC would have an edge in that weight class over him. Even though he had already beaten him at LHW, he knows how to win and use every advantage that’s available.

Jon Jones’ fight IQ is too smart. He wants Stipe because he knows he won’t lose

I care about the headliner the least on this whole card so far, these are interesting matchups that make a lot of sense and should result in some great action.

@knife I do y think it has much to do wi th Jones fight iq, just that stipe is a geriatric old man. Anyone can’t beat him at this point

Can't wait to see who Jones destroys next at heavy Gane folded too fast and easy to get any idea of what he really has.
Big strikers and Big wrestlers will be his krytonite in my estimation, Jones is a jack of all trade great wrestling and good striking good subs aforementioned genius fight IQ.
Dream match is Tom Aspinal if he is fully recovered, both Sergs are too slow for Jones IMO Curtis is so big he poses biggest threat but he probably gets subbed.

@Ayy totally agree & it’s why I think Jones would only fight Stipe. Any real contenders at HW will never get the chance cuz Jones will just ride off into the Sunset a la GSP Vs. Bisbing

I did hear that fight could take place in the fall though

I’ve given up on the fight happening. I don’t even really care for it that much because we all know stipe gets finished in the first two rounds. I just wanna see Jones fight more

I don't think I've ever been more disinterested in a main event in all the time I've been watching MMA. Good grief.

https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/4/12/23680987/julianna-pena-ufc-forcing-amanda-nunes-to-fight-me-or-be-stripped-of-title

Pena actually said their last fight was close if you "ignore the fact that she got dropped" but remember the fact that "she had Amanda dead to rights in an armbar until too much blood got in her eye" (how did all that blood get there, Julia?).

She has herself convinced the UFC was going to strip Amanda of her title. She thinks Amanda Nunes is scared of her. I'm honestly dumbfounded.

She cuts a good promo but comes off bit like undefeated Chael Sonnen to me.

Oh my well the standards are quite low in wmma or wm boxing to be honest.
I have seen myself throw punches and am bad but don't look that bad.
