I dont think this has a super fight written all over it.
DC is clearly second best in his own division behind a fighter in his prime whom he decisively lost to twice.
People say hes moving up but this guy is a guy who started his career at heayweight and if you dont recall it wasnt given thaf he would be able to cut to light.heavyweight with his history with cutting weight to lower weight class with his kidney.
On the other hand, as good as Stipe looked, he's still Stipe after all.
I dont know, I know they are marketing as a super fight but just doesnt have that vibe.
At the end of the day, Cormier seem to think it makes him in goat convo for moving up in weight and win, but imagine if Cain moved down a weight class, lost to Jones twice, then became a champ then moved up and fought for title at hw. Whats so special about moving back up when uve been a heavyweight to begin with, because thats exactly what DC is doing.
In my book, only person in the history of UFC who truly went up in a weight class to fight against a dominant, naturally bigger fighter has been BJ Penn. No one else. And DC isnt about to be next either.
