Media Cormier Stipe face off

I want DC to retire on a loss because i have a bum soul...
 
It’s always interesting how enamored sherdoggers are with physiques. DC is the better fighter and will likely win the fight.
 
DC rocking that 48 inch waist and shorts pulled up to the sternum! Just such a strange body type to be so good at MMA. I've got Stipe in 2 of my parlays so I think he's going to take it. But DC always has a shot.

Does anyone know if DC foolishly cut weight again? I'm shocked how light he came in and how large he looks. It would be dumb to cut weight since it's 265 limit, but DC also might have been embarrassed if he came in at 250 or so or wanted to play mind games and make Stipe think he was light.
He's definitely not 236. Probably cut some weight like last time
 
I think so too but why would he? Embarrassed? Mind games ?
I think he's self conscious with his body and weight. He's always pulling up his shorts above his belly button like a boxer to hide his gut. He used to kind of get away with it cause he had big arms and traps, but not so much anymore.
 
In boxing, they say a lot that "bodies don't win fights".

But still, there is some truth to being in shape physically and mentally.
What does "in shape" mean to you? I mean look at Tyson Fury, Fedor, Cain etc.. They all have shit bodies but constanly outworking their opponents and became champions.

They were in shape
 
They both looked lethargic like they were coming off rough weight cuts, back in the pre-rehydration weigh in days

Pretty shocked DC is at 236, wondering if he deliberately cut weight to throw Stipe off (ie to get Stipe thinking DC wants to implement a long war of attrition grinding game)

That said I'll go Stipe via decision
 
Legacies on the line. It doesn’t get much better than this.
 
Just look at the type of takedowns DC can do compared to Stipe. That's not just technique. It's technique combined with core strength.

I have zero doubt DC is much stronger than Stipe.
It's easy being stronger when your limbs are short, way more leverage.
 
DC isn't stronger than Stipe. Getting in deep and low on a double permits the leverage to ragdoll guys like DC does. I doubt he deadlifts or squats more than Stipe.
