No, Stipe once again is being undermined, did you learn nothing from last Sunday night, hes the baddest man on the planet without question right now.
Considering I've heard that DC mauls Cain on the regular yes Stipe would get beat
Stipe knocks Cormier out within 3. He’s better on the feet and has good enough wrestling to keep it there or get back up to there.
Stipe wont get past CAIN.
anybody think hed be able to go back to HW and be a 2 division champ?
Okay, so let's pretend Stipe is comparable to josh Barnett or dan Henderson.... let's say he gets thrown or tripped and taken down. Then what? Is the fight over? Stipe can wrestle his ass off and is as strong as a horse. As with most wrestler vs wrestler match ups, the most important fight will take place on the feet. Stipe will hit Daniel's head very hard. D.C. is not ready to box with Stipe. The reach and skill advantage are both huge. Stipe would be the best striker D.C. has ever fought.Im guessing this was also said about these 2 fights??? Lol
Its expecting too much from DC. Hes old and his body is wore down. Stipe is huge and would put them hands all over him.
IMO only if Stipe tries to wrestle DC.anybody think hed be able to go back to HW and be a 2 division champ?

I was on board til the Gus part.I would favor DC. Faster, more athletic, better wrestler, has plently of experience tossing around big heavyweights.
Incidentally, I would also favor Gus over Stipe.
DC has fought Lucas Browne, who is clearly a better boxer than Stipe by a wide margin.D.C. is not ready to box with Stipe. The reach and skill advantage are both huge. Stipe would be the best striker D.C. has ever fought.
Are we really going to compare Barnett's grappling to Stipe's?Okay, so let's pretend Stipe is comparable to josh Barnett or dan Henderson.... let's say he gets thrown or tripped and taken down.

barnett hand was broken when he fought dc and stipe tdd is way better barnettAre we really going to compare Barnett's grappling to Stipe's?
The only time we've seen Stipe use his wrestling was against Hunt and Ngannou, 2 guys not known for TDD.
Barnett is a highly decorated grappler specializing in catch wrestling which in laymen's speech is wrestling with submissions.
