DC´s Best Win...

JBJISGOAT said:
9-1 in last 10 and just beat the dog shit out of Fedor. Bigfoot was pretty scary at the time, far removed from what he has become.

Barnett & Big Foot, both quality runs b4 the DC fight, still Josh had only 1 decision, while BF had 3...
 
DC may be past his physical prime but technique wise he is much better. This DC is much more dangerous then SF DC.

Stipe did the same though

Once, in a turning movement. As opposed to persistently thrusting fingers straight towards face to the point of being warned multiple times by the ref. The first can easily be an accident; the second is just begging for there to be an "accident".

Fair is fair.

you can chose to ignore the gif and make excuses all you want.. Stipe started it, eye pokes had nothing to do with him losing..

I'm not ignoring the gif. I'm not even claiming that DC's eyepoke was the reason Stipe lost to him. But if you can't see the difference with how the eyepokes happened in both cases, I don't know what to say. DC fought in a certain manner in which an eyepoke was almost bound to happen.

It´s a matter of perspective, fight IQ & experience compensate for a lot of shortcomings, but physical prime cant be neglected

I just didn’t like when people were trying to downgrade that win by saying that was the only reason... thought u were doing that but you said u weren’t and I believe you
 
stipe, rumble, or gus imo

hard to pick between those.

Two wins over Rumble is most impressive to me. Even if it seems like Rumble gave up. Dude was a KILLER and sleeping elite fighters left and right

Rumble gave up because DC made him. I know you aren’t trying to discredit DC but it kills me when other people claim those wins aren’t a big deal because rumble “quit”. I doubt he would have quit if he wasn’t getting completely outclassed, and I was a huge rumble fan (even named my cat after him). Rumble, Stipe and Barnett are all acceptable answers to this question IMO. Barnett stands out because of how green DC was at the time.

Yeah definitely not discrediting him. If anything I think it’s a credit to DC that he was able to do that to such a badass fighter

Not many men in the world could take that shot from the first fight and stay composed
 
Bigfoot was a monster in Strikeforce. I thought the GP was his for the taking. DC slept him

His recent win over Miocic was indeed impressive, and the fact that he did it @ 39 yrs old is pretty crazy...
A legit Dare-2-Be-Great Move.

tbh I didnt see it coming, thought Strikeforce DC would have been game vs Miocic, but UFC DC was so far out of his [physical] prime, that it had to be considered a legit upset... But, realistically, Miocic was not a huge step-up in competition...


Now...On the other side, if you think about it... his early win over Barnett is perhaps crazier... and perhaps an even greater upset...

See: DC was still unknown, techically a rookie, and Barnett was a huge step-up in competition.
Barnett was on a great run, managed to reach the top3 in Pride..
Miocic could have broken into the top 3, but that´s not a lock, competition back then @ HW was much more legit imo...

The 2 wins are impressive, would be like splittin´hairs... But my choice is the one over Barnett.

What U say?

He koed trt bigfoot on short notice after bigfoot was coming off a 3 fight win streak including beating arvloski, outgrappling and pounding out fedor like 7 months before. Thats easily one of his biggest wins

Realistically Rumble 1 was a huge win considering how Rumble cleaned out most of LHW and he made Rumble look terrible.

Stipe was a big fight but realistically he had glaring holes, got dropped easily and probably would have lost to overeem if reem didn't go for that stupid guillotine. Took the belt from 2002 striking skills werdum, and previously got tko'd by struve. It wasn't a surprise that DC caught him with clinch striking, DC was outboxing Jones in the clinch range.
