How Should I Feel About Stipe Miocic Essentially Saying...

[Franc Mittelo]

he didn't want to finish Francis Ngannou, because the guy was too strong, and Stipe could have lost position going for a submission, so laying-n-praying on Francis was the best path to victory? Basically, Stipe was Tyron Woodley mentality versus Francis Ngannou.

Now, I am not a Stipe hater. I am indifferent to Stipe. He may very well be the best HW to date (better than the bald chubby Russian, who can only fight inside the ring with PRIDE rules), but we can't really know because the talent pool is so shallow.

I don't think any current HW is beating Stipe, and most of the current HW contenders are old dogs who have already been KO'd before facing Stipe. If Francis Ngannou has the right mentality, I think he is the only guy who can give Stipe a brutal war.

Hopefully, I am wrong and a couple of really talented guys can pop out of the blue, and give Stipe the kinds of fights that build long lasting legacies.

[DarkneT]

I loved it even more because I know Dana would hate it

 

[KOskater]

He go the W what more you want a make-up kit for you and your boyfriends?

 

[MMA Maine-iac]

You should feel happy that he fought smart and recognized his strength and weaknesses. Plus you know it had to crawl through Dana's skin, which should make all of us tingle in our privates.

Damn,
You really are looking for that ban aren't you bro?

Inb4 I'm just speaking my mind/telling the truth Yada Yada yada....you know what exactly what you're doing

 

[Pitier of Fools]

I don't like it when fighters don't fight to finish.

But at the same time, I can't really blame him for not wanting to risk getting knocked into next week by Ngannou. I just hope he doesn't turn into a heavyweight GSP.

 

[EGarrett]

You should feel the same way you do about GSP, since that was his whole strategy for the second half of his career.

 

[uptheirons!]

The talent pool in Pride was shallow huh? That bald chubby Russian beat 5 UFC heavyweight champs, so what does that say about ufc's talent pool, huh asshole?

 

[USA!USA!]

I just hope he doesn't turn into a heavyweight GSP.

lol HW GSP.. people forget he is coming off KOs of Werdum and Reem? and a tko of JDS? Huh?

People have extremely short memories.

 

[Emjay]

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Championship level is all about the W. Fuck how you get it. Keep the belt by any means necessary.

Yeah, I said I hope he doesn't TURN INTO a heavyweight GSP. Not that he is one. GSP used to be a killer in his younger days too.

Stipe said he fought safe. If discussing this is a bannable offense on Sherdog, so be it.

 

[executionermma]

This guy was crushing everyone, including a former UFC champion, and was undefeated before fighting Fedor, and guess what? It wasn't in a ring, as you can see. You are a special moron, TS.

 

[AJ Garcia]

You should feel like the dude is smart. Francis’ only way to win was to land something standing and stipe completely took that away from him. Francis should be criticized for letting stipe control him that way.

Also, don’t even compare stipe to woodley. Stipe has five straight ko/tko’s going into that fight. He’s far from a boring fighter

 

[Franc Mittelo]

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Until the next Tyron Woodley fight. Then, the attitude will be "you must be willing to die in the Octagon and take unnecessary risks, so we can be entertained." LOL

Give me a break, man. It was one fight against a tough, heavy hitter. You know that - don't buy the BS. Stipe is a finisher, he also fights smart.

I also don't think people give Francis enough credit.. he could have curled into a ball and quit and Stipe would have got the TKO.

Weak, Mittelo, weak.

MMA "fans" are the worst.
