Does it feel like a superfight (stipe/dc)

[WinZip]

No the 99% of fans that were fans of awesome fights got burned out of $65 on shit like UFC 224. So they're not going to spend money on this stuff either!

That card was dogshit before it happened. If you bought it, what the fuck were you expecting?

99% of fans didn't buy that card. That's why it did the worst numbers in 15 years or something

Early in Fedor's career not so much, PRIDE just didn't put it their best vs each other all the time. Fedor's resume is pretty good.

It is pretty good

But UFC historically at HW is awful and even the good Pride fighters came over with spotty results. Typically HW is 1 or 2 guys with a lot of mediocre big men looking up at them.

No he didn't. Werdum's best and Overeems best were in Strikeforce. Ngannou killed Overeem and Arlovski. That's it.

LOL...good one. Werdum had 4 fights in SF going 3-1 with two mediocre decisions. Only impressive thing he did was sub Fedor. But yea....that is more impressive than subbing and pretty much outclassing Cain, subbing Big Nog, Ko'ing Hunt, and dominated everyone else in a 6 fight win sreak. OK ! And Reem only had two fights in SF around that time, a TKO over Rogers (whoa) and a UD over Werdum which was a bad fight for both. Leading up to his title shot he KO'd JDS, KO'd Andrei, KO'd Struve and UDd Nelson......but yea...that incredible run in SF is way more impressive.



So you're incorrect there.

Leading up to his title shot he KO'd JDS, KO'd Andrei, KO'd Struve and UDd Nelson......thats far more impressive than his SF run of two huge wins.

So you're incorrect there.

Werdum beat a broken Cain, a older than dirt Mark Hunt, and you think Big Nog past like 2008 is a good win. Just stop posting. You look like a geek.

Not really

Jones vs Stipe maybe

Since like 2011 for sure. Every time there seems to be as resurgence it dies pretty quickly.

 

[rac2]

it doesn't because of jones and the fact stipe is not likeable.

 

[HaulParris]

It’s not a superfight. It’s a cash-grab, necessitated by the following:
1) both HW and LHW are shallow AF
2) neither DC nor Stipe are proven draws, so WME/UFC hopes by putting them together, the draw will be bigger than the sum of its parts.

Jones vs Anderson in 2012 would have been a superfight.

 

[Streeter]

Great fight - but no a superfight has a cannot miss feel to it. Conor GSP is a super fight , Conor - Beebs is a superfight , Brock - Bones is a superfight . This is just a great fight with 2 of the best fighters of last 10 years. Should it be a superfight - YES but it isn't.

 

[Robert Munch!]

Not really cause DC fought at HW. Brock vs bones is more of a super fight. I think DC will have Stipe on the ground showing much affection.

I think GSP vs Anderson would have been better. Bones wasn't fighting cause he looked up to him

 

[TUF1]

promotion behind it has been dogshit.

it only takes a couple of hype trailers jammed down my throat to get me all hot about a fight, but they can't even do that right.

This isnt a Marvel movie with teaser for a teaser of the trailer a year before the movie. Its not till next month. Not going to keep this boner for 3 weeks.

Im just saying if its a superfight shouldnt they at least try to keep me hard for a month straight?

 

[campbecc]

It’s a great fight but majority of hardcore and casual fans would rather see Jones vs Miocic

226 is a stacked card too

I doubt Jones would take the fight even if he were eligible to fight.

 

[g*r*b]

No cuz Stipe has to actually be impressive and good for it to be a super fight. He's the best mediocre champ of all time. Prime Tim and prime Ricco KO him in the first.

User name verified.

You don't really believe this do you? No way.

 

[Bamboozled]

You don't really believe this do you? No way.

You're right, Stipe might survive into the 2nd.

 

[det_regnar_på_vår_kärlek]

DC being KO'd by Jon Jones is still fresh in people's minds, which takes away a bit from this fight. Also Stipe is a great HW as far as it is possible for HWs to be great, but people just haven't hopped on his bandwagon.

 

[Gambit MMA]

its a super fight, imo. even better that dc has experience at heavyweight. both have cleaned out their divisions mostly (hw has some new guys coming up)

 

[613]

I think of it as more of a dad beating up his son. Not much of a superfight. The dad being Stipe.

This is going to be more one sided that CM Punk vs Mike Jackson.

Dana White will be calling for Cormier to hang them up after this fight.

I am guessing you hate Jones? DC should be the favorite in this fight
