Stipe wont take this fight. Dude already been ducking HWs for 2/3 of this year with only 1 fight. He's holding out for cripple Cain. Stipe is just like the rest of them new champs (save Max it seems) and wants money fights. Thanks Conor for turning UFC into complete shit.
Stipe is ducking HWs? Sure...just like Teymur was "timid" in his fight with Klose, though he had actually been outstriking him and Drakkar had been doing almost nothing but lifting his hands in dumbshow. Stipe lets the UFC lead when it comes to naming opponents; it's up to them to whip up the contracts and the $$$$.
It ain't Stipe's fault that until now there wasn't a One True Contender to galvanize the UFC into doing that. Hell, Dana actually said the winner of the Werdum vs Overeem fight WOULDN'T get the TS after all even though that had been widely considered to be the fight that would point out the next in line. Otherwise it had been all reshuffed or cancelled bouts, or when they did go off as planned the only one of the pair to have a hope in hell of being considered a contender got beaten.
