Tonight DC and Stipe put on a striking clinc and proved how much the HW division has come along since 2005 when Fedor and Crocop fought for the title.
Nowadays you don't defend leg kicks, you just take them like a man. If you can't, then you don't deserve to be called a fighter. Fedor countering a leg kick:
Defending liver shots proved how underdeveloped fighters were back then. DC ate about 10 liver shots tonight proving his toughness, while that Fedor dude was so scared he blocked them:
Fedor can't pick-up up his opponent like DC, so he just pushes him:
Outdated combo. Today it's all about the jabs and 1-2's (and accidental eye pokes here and there)
Round 2. If they aren't tired, they aren't trying:
Crocop being elusive. Cool, but slavic men aren't scared of punches these days.
Srsly, why aren't they standing flat footed in front of each other like lions?
Eye pokes > Head kick + punch + TD:
Now here's one gif to rule them all (couldn't find one from tonight, but you get the idea):
Stipe throws an epic 1-2 combo and DC dodges them with world class head movement. DC and Miocic are surely the two most refined strikers the world has ever seen.

Time to leave the nostalgia behind and accept the HW division has evolved tremendously.
Stipe = GOAT, even Rogan agrees.
