Is there anything that makes Jones such a huge favorite over Stipe other than age? Stipe is a two time HW champion with great wrestling and heavy hands.

I expect Jon to win, but Stipe is really being overlooked by a lot of mma fans and experts.
aint Jon coming off surgery?

I dont keep up on UFC why does one division have a champ and an interim champ. And since there is why aren't they fighting each other?
I believe the belt became vacant once Ngannou left the organization and Tom Aspinall fought for the interim title, while Jon beat Ciryl Gane for the actual title.

It won't be unified by Jon because he already says he will likely vacate the belt after this fight. He is scared to fight Aspinall imo.

I could see this going similar to Dominick Reyes or Thiago Silva where Jon gets pushed to the limit by tall strikers. Stipe is a great boxer and Jones isn't. Unless he's gotten old I can see him beating Jones.

It's been three years since we last saw Stipe fight. And the goat will always be the favourited.
