So DC is this era’s Kevin Randleman?
Very nice reference and comparison.
I mean it doesn't give DC enough credit but he was getting tagged on the feet before the eye poke. His head was snapping back. Stipe uncharacteristically stuck around in the clinch and paid the price. He was comfortably controlling that fight from the outside before that blunder.
Shit happens. But Stipe the dummy should've taken the 5 minutes to fully clear his vision and regathered himself instead of jumping right back in there because I felt like that eye poke took him off his game a little bit. And at HW that's all it takes.
It was a veteran move by DC to make the fight dirty in a contest he was being noticeably outclassed in. He took a page out of Jon Jones playbook. Good on him, it got him the win and at the end of the day that's what everyone will always remember, who got the W.
