If Stipe Miocic Announced He Wants To Fight in April/May, Who Does He Fight?

[ChosenMMA]

Putting this hypothetical question out because of the current landscape of the division in terms of challengers, if we go down the list of possible opponents for his next title defence..

Fabricio Werdum - Only had a win over Browne since getting blasted out by Stipe
Junior Dos Santos - Coming off a win over Rothwell and holds a win over Stipe
Cain Velasquez - Like Werdum coming off a win over Browne but out injured
Alistair Overeem/Mark Hunt - Need another win after this

Who do you make?

He should be fighting JDS in Halifax... That would be excellent!

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Probably a rematch with Werdum.

 

[Toco]

there is only JDS

 

[Fight Professor]

Probably a rematch with Werdum.

Werdum just ducked JDS. He should be waiting for Cain, not getting a title shot.

Werdum.

Can someone please post the gif of Werdum kicking Edmund and then getting in his stance. Hilarious stuff from Trolldum.

 

[Touch of Death]

It's difficult but I would say he should fight Werdum. Cain is too injury prone and JDS I don't think should get a title shot by beating Rothwell.

 

[Touch of Death]

Werdum.

I'd love to see the JDS rematch.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

JDS of course. but maybe he's holding out (which would explain why we've heard next to nothing about him in 3 months).

i wouldn't complain about a Werdum rematch either. or a JDS/Werdum rematch. any of the 3 will make me happy. but by most criteria, JDS would be the next in line. which of course means nothing anymore.

 

[Final Say]

how can you possibly give it to werdum over junior? i dont see it, but i would not be surprised i suppose.

either way i got stipe

 

[knees2ribs]

JDS for sure out of the contenders who are available. I'd go for Velasquez if he wasn't injured.

 

[chinarice]

Werdum deserves to be knocked the fuck out in Halifax by JDS but since he is running scared because he knows he has nothing to offer JDS, he deserves someone like Derrick Lewis.

I just rewatched Miocic knock his sloppy ass out like 4 seconds ago on the fight network.... So hilarious and humiliating.... Such a goof. I love it.

Yep seems like only JDS is ready.

 

[Evangelion]

JDS would love to see Stipe vs JDS headline UFC Buffalo

 

[Cantalope]

JDS at least has a win over him. HW is a pretty shitty division.

But Werdum should get one for beating Ronda's boyfriend?

Yeah, where the Fuck is Brock lately?
