DC compared to Stipe's recent opponents

[Head Movement]

Stipe has beaten: Hunt, Arlovski, Werdum, Overeem, JDS and Ngannou.

All of them looked very impressive before stepping in there with Stipe , where they ended up either getting stopped in the first round or being completely dominated for the whole fight.

How would you rank DC against them, anyone feel like he's going to be Stipe's toughest fight yet?

DC is gonna find out there are levels to this thing

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Cormier is a better striker than most believe and he is pretty tough to KO.

Stupid comment. DC is as elite as they come.

He has solid boxing and good power. His wrestling threat opens that up too

Indeed. DC is a tough fight for Miocic.

DC vs Hunt would probably look like this:

 

[FrankensteinMMA]

Stipe / DC
Hunt = Roy Nelson
Arlovski = Henderson/Monson
Werdum =Mir/Barnett
Overeem = x2 Anthony Johnson
JDS = Gustaffson/Volkan
Ngannou = Bigfoot/Soa Palelei

DC's only lossess are Johneroid Jones
as an old man. Stipe lost to Struve as a young man.

 

[FWRGeorgie]

I'll never forget that flip on Barnett, blew me away... Fucking crazy!

Did you not see DC vs Gus? Or any of his HW fights prior?

Stipe DC
Hunt Roy Nelson

Werdum Mir/Barnett
Overeem x2 Anthony Johnson
JDS Gustaffson/Volkan
Ngannou Bigfoot/Soa Palelei

Hunt >>>> Nelson
Werdum >>>>>>> broken hand Barnett + washed up frank mir
Overeem >>>>> crumble
Jds >>>>>> Gus and volkan
Ngannou >>>>>>>>>>>>> Bigfoot and ?

I did and your point? Dc was able to hang with Gus on feet i said because of his td threat.Dc striking is as basic as you can get.

I think DC beats all of them, provided he didn't get caught with a huge shot. But Stipe is so much more talented than them I'm like 49% dc 51% Stipe.

Same with Stipe. It'll be interesting because Cormier won't be stronger than his opponent like he usually is. They both are aggressive strikers and are very good at wrestling. It's an interesting fight to say the least and I don't see any weak areas where Miocic will be able to expose.

DC will win. I have a feeling he will actually win alot easier than most expect. Size is never a big factor for DC only against Jon jones. DC's size is actually perfect for his style, hes short and stocky and comes forward bobbing and weaving.

 

[saugeye killah]

It's a true pick em fight to me.
