His best accomplishment is surviving 5 rounds against Ngannou

And Francis lost because he was gassed

Once Stipe was figured out, he was demolished (second fight)

How weak his punch is? Francis ate the best Sitpe's shots smiling, but almost fell unconscious when Joshua barely touched him

Today Stipe is moving like 60 yo Hollyfield
 
He's definitely overrated now by Jon Jones.

But you never know in a fight, how he can just figure out a way to win. Anything can happen.

Also he's definitely not overrated overall, he's one of the best MMA HW to ever compete.
 
I feel like some UFC heavyweights reached higher peaks or similar but Stipe had a successful run till the end where other dudes like JDS or Cain went out badly. He stuck around for a long time and had success.
 
So ngannou "figured him out"

Man did you even watch that fight?

Stipe landed a good shot on him and he looked hurt so Stipe got reckless going for the finish but Francis has recovered quickly and countered him on the way in.

It was not a "weak" punch, big frank got a chin

Yeah for sure he figured him out bro he planned that from the beggining lol suuuure
 
IT just goes to show how weak the HW division is. Since 2018, Stipe has only fought 2 people while getting viscously knocked the fuck out by both. To consider him as the top of the HW division, which the UFC is doing by insisting of Jon fighting him for the HW belt, shows how weak the HW division really is.
 
You make it seem like surviving 5 rounds against Ngannou is not that impressive? Most dudes last like 20 seconds against him
I don't think Stipe is overrated.
He is one of the most accomplished fighters in the heavyweight division of the UFC
He hits pretty damn hard too
