He also happens to be the most succesful UFC HW ever. A minor detail obviously.
Successful at beating up old men and washed up former greats, that's for sure.

He didn't had any problems taking Francis down from the 2nd to the end of the 4th round
That is because Francis was gassed and capable of throwing 2-3 punches in a round at that point.
If Stipe was half as good as people make him out, he would finished him.
If Cain was a great he wouldnt have gotten KTFO first round.

DC too right?
Beat Stipe's ass first time.
Beat his ass till he gassed second time (Stipe being a punching bag for the first half of the fight).
Nice and young, that DC though .
And cro cop has felt everybody’s strength
I’ve been saying this a long time
I noticed in an overeem interview once where he said ‘stipe is so strong’, emphasizing the ‘so’ and reiterating how strong he was seconds later. Overeem doesn’t give out compliments like that easily
There’s more happening in the cage than the casual fan realizes when stipe fights
Looks can be super deceiving when it comes to strength. Stipe and DC are two of the most unimpressive looking people in the UFC but there's no doubting their strength. "You might not like it but that's what peak performance looks like."
Stipe straight up muscling out of that guillotine was an oh shit moment. I knew right there the Reem is done.
If you are seriously thinking this. You don't know what you are looking at.Looks can be super deceiving when it comes to strength.

I think it's quite likely that we're all going to see Stipe vs DC III so.....at least that'll settle things between them.meh. dc clocked him easy in the first. was beating him hands down in the second till he got old. ngannou tko's him in the rematch after he won by running away and gassing ngannou in the first. sorry he isnt anything special.
You really think he would say that if Stipe wasn't Croatian?True, thats why its cool. Mirkos always honest too.
Far too reasonable for sherdogPeople like to sh*t on the recent heavyweight division, but Stipe's skills are actually very well refined.
Very crisp boxing, good footwork, good headmovement, good takedown defense, very good cardio and as mentioned on here: quite a bit of physical strength.
He just never does flashy stuff and keeps it extremely basic - that's the reason it's sometimes hard to see how good he actually is.
