Does it feel like a superfight (stipe/dc)

[613]

yes

both champs who've defended at least 3 times against the top contenders without ducking anyone

two title-holding freight trains colliding = superfight imo

But everyone knows DC is only moving up because he doesn't feel like the real champ at LHW. Not saying he is right, but thats clearly how DC feels. That takes away from the whole superfight thing

 

[truthisfreedom]

??? You're kidding right??

Most HW title defenses
Six top 5 wins in a row of which four are first round knock outs, and two that were complete domination where he's probly displayed the most well rounded skill set at HW we've seen. Stipe has been nearly flawless aside a L to JDS in a very close fight in his last 10 fights.

Stipe wall n stalled/ laid on Ngannou for 25 minutes straight. It was so bad that the ref had to tell him numerous times to to get more active.

If this was Usman, you would have been complaining about how boring the fight was.

Let's call a spade a spade.

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.

He looks like a geek because he knows his shit well enough to refute your asinine argument with facts? Okay then.

Speaking about tools, were you one of those tools who were confident that Ngannou would kill and bury Stipe with the first shovel uppercut?

He didn't though, he just used a win streak as credibility and 3 names that don't amount to much lol

This must be his alt

 

[KootenayKid]

To me it is, but its not as world stopping as something like GSP vs Anderson (prime) or Jones vs Silva.

 

[loisestrad]

It's the lhw champ vs the hw champ. Of course it's a superfight. Add to that, Stipe is probably the GOAT ufc hw and DC is second to only Jones at lhw.

 

[thorcorm]

It would be a super fight if Jones was fighting Stipe

You can't make fights when one guy is scared to fight at a particular division though.

He wants to fight Brock

 

[quadrunner]

The best UFC hw champ of all time against the best LHW of all time?

Yes I would call that a super fight.

 

[campbecc]

He wants to fight Brock

He says that because it will never happen. He's talked about fighting HWs before but the second it seems possible it might happen he backs away.

Feels pretty normal honestly. Don’t get me wrong I am excited. But where is the hype? Where is the promotion? It’s like the UFC is not banking on this to do particularly well so they are not bothering to do anything special. There was a time they used to do entire UFC primetime shows dedicated to these so-called super fights. Seems like a long time ago.

No doubt I haven't watched a full prime time in so long over a year if not 2 for sure.

I would watch a full prime time dedicated to this fight for sure but times they are a changing. For us long time seriously invested fans the only way to care is love the good fights and athletes for what they bring and ignore all the hollowood bullshit.

I dont follow other sports they bore me with the exception of hockey if I'm at a bar or if one of my buddies gets tickets an brings me lol that said I do not follow the sport like I used to at all.

I am trying to focus on the guys that are constantly improving and bring that warrior spirit to get back into it. I don't care about if they trash talk or if they are gatekeepers or prospects......as long as they are entertaining and progressing......I can get behind them

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Kinda strange feeling about it. Feels like a normal fight but it should feel like a superfight. Strange

 

[Cojopi Extomino]

And this is why twitter and trash talk has ruined the sport. And you can all blame yourselves.

HW Champ vs LHW Champ, incredibly hard to predict fight between two class acts who represent the best of MMA. This should be everything we want in MMA.

And yet the biggest topic of the day is the pro wrestling level bullshit Woodley and Colby, TWO GUYS NOT EVEN BOOKED TO FIGHT YET, spew about racism.

Why isn't this fight bigger? Because most of us are terrible, terrible fans of this sport.

 

[BuddyGuy]

HW historically is largely full of cans.. Cue the Fedor fans yelling at me..

Its true there just aren't that many big athletic coordinated guys with well rounded MMA games in hw out there like there are in the smaller divisions.

1 If you are that big and athletic you can make alot more money in other sports.

2 you can make more money without getting brain damage from some other 240 lbs guy cracking you in the face

 

[Big Dick Cheney**]

stipes a lame-o with 0 charisma. much like dc

 

[IloveTHIS]

Stipe the best heavyweight in UFC history. Usually a brutal knockout artist.

Vs

DC, arguably a GOAT. Has only lost to Juiced Jones, another arguable GOAT. Undefeated at HW and probably a better fighter at that weight than depleted at LHW.

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY it's a superfight. One of the best fights ever on paper.

 

[MrDaneBrass]

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.

You're out of your mind. AARP Randy outstruck Tim in lopsided fashion, and Prime Ricco got KO'd by Tim. Stipe is the most skilled and well rounded HW champ we've ever had.

Stipe is one of if not the best hw ever and you call him “mediocre”
You should stop posting like srsly posting and rethink why your comment is so stupid but probably can’t because you don’t have enough brain power to do so

 

[cmw43]

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.

The hype trailer they showed for it on the 225 PPV was pretty good.
