A reminder as to why Stipe is the baddest man on the planet

[UFCBlackbelt]

Wont fight someone with a 10 pound difference even though he cleared his entire division. Fights in the lightest weightclass which allows for many errors. Has only fought one UFC champion and has lost that fight. Forces himself to avoid the fight by asking for high unreasonable terms. Is always a heavy favorite in his fights because most of his opponents aren't threats. Comfortably defeats fighters who have no business being in the cage with him.

Works part time as a firefighter and just broke the UFC heavyweight record for title defenses against a guy who outweighed him by over 20 pounds on fight and knocked out the previous title contender Alistair overreem. Defeated several UFC champions. Was an underdog coming into the fight and used wits and heart to defend. Rarely complains about his pay.

And lets not forget, Stipe would grab Demetrious with one hand and eat him for breakfast...

Yeah because it’s his fault he’s 5’1 and built like a cheerleader in high school

What im saying is that its funny that in the lighter weightclasses its an excuse to argue over 10 lbs while heavyweights just accept their wide difference

 

[ixRanGzeNxi]

Funny thing is you actually think it's a 10lb difference. Haha so fucking ignorant.

 

[Rehydrated Dos Anjos]

I agree that Stipe is better than Mighty Mouse even though Mighty Mouse is still tremendous, but you can't say Stipe rarely complains about his pay when he just spent the past few months campaigning for better pay which I have nothing against since he has earned the right to get big money.

It's still
Jon Jones

But carry on

to be fair tho 10lbs is a bigger difference proportionally in the lower divisions and mm isn't even a big 125 compared to guys who cut a lot to make 135

Who would have thought early on that this man would end up being the current Heavyweight GOAT? Bravo Stipe.

MM gives up size most of the time against his opponents. None of the other current champions do.

 

[Sapp]

A 10lb difference is meaningful at that size.

 

[Spitfire3000]

0 pound weight difference fight is to happen at 125

Basically this. Doesn't stop trolls like the OP, or stupid people who legitimately don't understand this.

 

[Oeshon]

to the manlets credit, it is hard to have wins over past champs when you have been champ of the division the entire time.

 

[Filthy Phil]

MM has been the smaller man against literally ALL of his opponents in the UFC. It's worth mentioning.

 

[I_IZ_BACK]

As a huge Miocic fan I have to say that MM's skillset is better than Miocic'

Because everybody is on PEDs, right?

Actually even at 125 TJ would probably be a bit bigger.

But you’re right, at 125 TJ wouldn’t be nearly 10 pounds heavier.
