Here's the reason why Stipe Miocic Took the belt from Dana and gave it to his coach

[Phronimos]

Dana is a fight promoter.
Stipe is hard to promote.
Dana likes Conor because Conor has the "it" factor and doesn't need promoting.
Ngannou has a great back story and seems like a very cool guy.
Nothing against Stipe, but business is about making money.
Plus, the UFC needs to eventually crack Africa.

This is why I love Stipe. People always talk about the Diaz brothers being badasses and stuff like that, and they are, but seriously, how can you not say that someone like Stipe isn't a total badass himself? The guy didn't get on the mic, or shoot his mouth off in a bunch of pre-fight interviews about being disrespected when he clearly was, he just got in the gym worked his ass off and showed up on fight night and handled his damn shit! He's totally blue collar and a throwback to when men were men and handled their shit without complaining or the fanfare of a bunch of sycophants. WAR STIPE!

+1

"Yeah. Whatever he said."

I’ve definitely grown to like him. He’s also a very accomplished champion and a great fighter, which nobody can deny at this point. I’ll be the first to say I discounted him in the past. I’ve since learned to not doubt him.

I'm curious...they say he's defended the heavyweight title more than anyone in history....don't they mean anyone in the ufc....didn't Fedor defend his title for 10 years?

 

[magicmarker]

I bet if Dana was a fireman all the guys at the station would say he was a super humble, hard worker.

Only because they would humble him until they broke him.

 

[ColombianFist]

Because the UFC only cares for people who they see as a potential draw for casuals disregarding legit guys who have better resume. If i were a casual with no mma knowledge i would be interested is this African Monster who hits like a truck, and not the champ who deserves all the hype and promotion which shows, uncle dana doesn't know how to promote or only promotes the guys he wants.

Theres no bullshit about this guy, he lives in the real world where people need help when their house is burning to the ground.

 

[KYS]

Remember when he bought a metal detector just because he likes to buy tools? Said we will search for something buried in his garden.

Mink coats. Crocodile leather shoes.

Fuck that, Stipe went with a fucking metal detector.

 

[bigconan]

I mean the guy wants to make $$ for his promotion and obviously Ngannou would he hugely popular star and money maker

Why is this so hard to understand ? It sounds sort of his job ..

I agree with this...ngannue is far more promotable than stipe is...While stipe is a dam good fighter...he has very little charisma...

 

[TripTictonic]

Dana shits on a champion like Stipe, but continues to shlob on Conor’s knob no matter what he does. That right there is the prime of example that it’s money over anything else in this world. Also, it goes to show what kind of person Dana is.

His next outlandish purchase will be a snow blower
War Stipe!!

Mirko loves Stipe. I love Stipe. It's simple math, I'm a simple man.

The funny thing is the old bosses love Cro Cop.

 

[bigconan]

Yeah..stipe is the stone cold the ufc.wavinghismiddle finger at the boss.

Except stone cold had a ton of charisma.

 

[egk]

Dana's watching the fight on a monitor. I always find that amusing as hell. The UFC charges so much for tickets yet there's someone with the best seat in the house and he's watching it on a little laptop screen. lol

I wonder how long it would take Dana to strip the title from Stipe through inactivity

 

[El Fernas]

WORST title fight ever, 4 gassed uneventful rounds....Way to go Stipe!!.......

 

[kimocomplex]

Bottom line, Stipe's next fight will draw

Francis could headline a Fight Night or FOX card

Everyone wins

It's definitely on now if you didn't think it was before..

It should be no secret Dana wanted Stipe out of there, that is why they sent Francis after him and now that Stipe got the "w" and snatched the belt out of Dana's hand, the Baldfather is gonna be hell bent on trying to take Miocic down

Dana does NOT like Stipe one bit. I suspected this all started over contract negotiations and Dana really did dog Stipe out at the first press conference. "Oh yeah, Stipe could set the record, BUT LOOK AT THIS GUY! He hits like a Ford Escort and a sledge hammer!"

It didn't seem to take long after the belt incident post fight that Dana had already concocted a new master plan of sicking Cormier, all-around company man who SHOULD'VE sued the UFC for allowing Jon Jones to kick his melon off nuclear off tbol, after him

Dana wants Stipe out of there. To him, he's not a sell. He doesn't talk trash, act brash or cocky, is a boring midwestern guy, and they want the strap out of his hands.

I think Stipe drug Francis to deep waters and didn't finish him on purpose just to piss Dana and WME off. It seemed to work, judging from Dana's face during the fight

It's complete bs. Here we have a guy on a tear, doing exactly what he's supposed to, being a model fighter and even someone people can be proud of, being disrespected by the UFC and not promoted.

I'm riding with Stipe 100% and I hope he keeps shoving the UFC's shit down their throat and making no apologies.

 

[Robbie Corleone]

Yeah..stipe is the stone cold the ufc.wavinghismiddle finger at the boss.

Maybe that’s how WME will choose to promote him now lol

 

[Arm Barbarian]

His next outlandish purchase will be a snow blower
War Stipe!!

He already has one. He was using it in one of the latest "UFC Embedded" episodes, although he wasn't using it very effectively. lol

 

[UhHuhSure]

brilliant performance during and after the fight.
