If DC beats Stipe he's one of the Greatest of All Time - who disagrees?

[Combat Wombatt]

If Cormier defeats Stipe not only is he a 2 division simultaneously he's beat the UFC HW champ who holds the record for most UFC HW title defenses. It would be one hell of an accomplishment. Stipe is one of the greatest UFC HW's of all all time, DC is one of the the UFC's greatest LHW champions of all time. DC holding the LHW and HW belt at the same time because of a win over Stipe is far better than what Conor did holding 2 UFC belts. If DC beats Stipe, he's one of the greatest of all time.


Who disagrees?



Not a fan of either Stipe or DC but I still want to see DC win because this would be an awesome accomplishment. I've always said if DC ever fought Cain he would have defeated him too, more powerful striking, better wrestling, and a better chin than Cain would have won him the UD.

 

[Diet Butcher]

I do

 

[uptheirons!]

Doubt he'd beat Caine, strength difference would be too much. If he couldn't take down Jones there's no way he'd budge the person who rag-dolled Lesnar.

 

[Oj21]

Definitely, even without it he's an all time great, not a goat but up there. He would have beaten Barnett, johnson twice, gus, mir, hendo, silva, Bigfoot, and the miocic if he can do it, that's a crazy resume

 

[LMP]

How about if Stipe beats D.C. Is he one of the greatest all time? Give the dude some love. I'm excited for this fight. Let's put the winner on the GOAT list.

Cain?

It's a good thing this exact same thread wasn't already done earlier today.

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

of course he is underrated
U can say Jones is better but he cheated and there is no proof that Jones would beat DC again since they never had a fair second fight. Also him cheating puts an asterix on his record

He’s one of the greatest fighters of all time even if he doesn’t beat Stipe. Maybe not “goat” level great, but he’s one of the best of this era no doubt.

I have a hard time believing Jones wasn’t juiced to the gills in the first fight as well.

He's already one of the greatest.

True but his resume isn’t as good as DC’s.

[RudimarChute]

I don’t see how anyone could disagree.

 

[Arrrrgh]

I agree, but I also think he already is one of the sports greatest all time.

 

[3sumrock]

One of the great but definitely not one of the goat base on his resume

 

[Combat Wombatt]

Perhaps I would have seen it if I wasn’t working.

 

[chaos_36]

I think he has a claim to GOAT. Undefeated at HW, LHW champ, beaten the best middleweight in history. That would be the top 3 weight classes where he's owned the best fighter. The 2 losses don't hurt him too much because they're to a proven cheat.

 

[Rum]

Top 20 for sure.
