Would you place an Asterik to Struve vs Stipe?

[TerraRayzing]

For folks who watched the fight, do you think the finish was a little controversial? As soon as Stipe was eye poked, he started circling and blinking, like that was a bad eye poke. I think Herb should have seen that, after that he slipped and Struve landed a clean shot that stumbled him. I think that was a pretty bad eye poke. What do you think?

 

[Frankie Baby!]

No, when Stipe got up he had baby deer legs.

 

[Buff]

No.

KTFO is KTFO.

No KO is KO in MMA.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

No....he got knocked out, it happens.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Struve is p4p GOAT obviously

 

[Final Say]

Whatever, it was well before his prime

I don't think he was completely healthy either but you won't hear that from him. So if the eye poke is worse than we could tell, it doesn't really matter because you won't hear that either


Still the GOAT

 

[TerraRayzing]

He got knocked out yes, but what happened before the knock out? did it have a huge hand or was Struve going to knock him out regardless of an eye poke?

 

[Croton]

Nah. No one cares about that loss anyways.

 

[Final Say]

No.

Standing TKO

Not KTFO or KO

but why split hairs

 

[MEAN357]

nah he got TKO'd badly. Poke prolly helped but he took an ass whoopin that night. Obviously stipes a much different beast nowadays. Cant just start taking away L's when you wanna put someone in GOAT talk. Doesnt work with Fedor, GSP, Silva, Bones (defeated by life) or anyone else.

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

No, Stipe is my guy but he got knocked out. He's been a world beater since, so I wouldn't change a thing.

 

[INTERL0PER]

Kind of.

Ultimately, what happened happened. But the eye poke definitely affected the fight.

However, even if it was completely clean, enough time had passed to essentially make it irrelevant when talking about Stipe's skills.

I seriously doubt it goes the same way today.

Bro, it doesn't matter. He got KO'd, move on.

 

[Fluffernutter]

No asterisk.

However, let's be real. The guy slipped on a puddle of water that was not cleaned up in between rounds. He got clipped by Struve just after he slipped.


Each man had the same odds of slipping on that puddle. So, it's not like one man had an advantage over the other. Therefore, no asterisk needed.

 

[TerraRayzing]

Bro, it doesn't matter. He got KO'd, move on.

Doesn't keep me up at night bro, just curious to hear other opinions. Cheers.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

This is like when people argued that Bigfoot/Browne should be an NC because Travis blew out his hamstring

 

[mooseman17]

He got eye raked and then finished seconds later

You sound so defensive.
