I always think Stipe looks like a welterweight just increased in size by 20%

[DrunkenHigh]

I always think of Mike Pyle or Matt Brown but zoomed in 20% when I see Stipe.

It's a good frame, lean but big, quite unusual for a HW in my opinion. Usually they are more heavily built somewhere or have a big body and normal head, but he's all in proportion lol

Even the way he fights and his cardio seems similar

20%? I was thinking more like 16 maybe 17%...I don't know about 20 though. What are we talking about again?

When I first saw Werdum in Pride I thought he was a LW. His shape looked like a LW to me. I was surprised when I found out him as a HW.

I'm really surprised he's 6'4'' with an 80 inch reach. He's got that Weidman build where their height is very deceptive. I thought he was like 6'2'' for some reason until I looked him up recently.

Um, Stipe is a big dude.

[DrunkenHigh]

Aaaaw man I thought this might backfire

 

[AndrewGolota48]

I thought he looked bulkier in this weigh in that most in the past.

 

[hasar]

Um, Stipe is a big dude.

He was much bigger than Arlovski frame wise.

Most heavyweights are welterweights increased in size by 20%. What are you getting at?

If you looked at him and didn't know, I think you would pick him as a WW frame wise, until you see him next to someone else.

Look at Overeem, much smaller head, look at hunt, much shorter, smaller head

But if you look at Stipe he's just lean...

I understand what the TS means. If you look at a picture of Overeem, JDS, Carwin, Brock, Hunt, Barnett, with no other point of reference you can tell just by the way they're built they're large heavyweights. If you see a picture of Stipe without a reference point he looks like a normal dude.

Could be a MW or WW.

Clearly a gorilla.
