I think it's not only a better fight but a more legitimate one. Stipe is the heavyweight with the most consecutive title defenses. Cormier is unbeaten at two weight classes barring loses to one of the best fighters ever who was on Peds. Whereas Alvarez hadnt exactly looked like a world beater in his run to the title and had never defended it. Conor had looked like a world beater at fw but had just gone one and one with a LW journeyman although at WW, he also had zero title defenses. I also think the match will be much more competitive.
