Lol @ Stipe Winning

[Levi_]

Finding a weak spot and adjusting mid fight to exploit it is one of the greatest things in sports.

Exactly, and that is the difference when it comes to the elite fighters- who can pull something out of the bag and win after both are tired and beaten up?

lol, watch the fight again my friend.

OP didn't watch the fight at all...

mma is the only sport that a Hail Mary will make you a goat. DC was starching Stipe the entire fight and would have won a 50/45 decision but he lost focus for 3 seconds, now all of a sudden he’s done. No wonder mma has no credibility to other professional sports. #1 bullshit ever.

Going into the 4th, it was 2-1 for DC. DC was getting starched in the 4th, would most likely be 2-2 if the fight went into the 5th. So how you get your 50/45 decision on the score cards blows me away. A Hail Mary happend in their first fight when DC landed, not this time. Give the guy some hespect

Yeah he did won the first two after that he started landing better in the third and in the fourth started throwing those body shots that eventually hurt DC bad and then finished upstairs - that is skills, fight IQ and the ability to find a way to win when things were not going your way early..

People watch sports to be surprised. The fact that a person is never out of a fight is one of the biggest reasons mma has become so popular.

Even if it went to a decision Stipe would probably won. Did you see the official scorecards? , they scored it 2-1 for DC and Stipe was clearly winning the 4th round. DC was fading so Stipe would most likely took the last round too.

If DC was a boss in a video game, his weak spot would be his glass gut.

I always thought that his popeye chicken-filled gut is always pretty solid, when he fought Jones he gets kneed many times and it didn't stop him from moving forward, he took a big one from Barnett which lifted his body off the ground and it didn't seem to affect him.

 

[Uphill Jack]

Nah, the tide turned in round 3. In round 4 Stipe kept stabbing DCs liver with the left hand over and over again.

This.

Happy for Stipe. He took a lot of shit over the past year.

I know the meaning of a Hail Mary in sports, but it's kind of funny. Because to a Catholic the "Hail Mary" prayer is something you say over and over again as you recite a rosary. Sort of like how Stipe was body punching DC's gut over and over again in the 4th.

 

[Dionysian]

You bash MMA but I’m guessing you wouldn’t bash football for team A winning 3-0 for three quarters and then team B scores the touchdown in the 4th and they won it 7-3.

Would you make a thread called “lol @ team B winning”

 

[Hirashin]

both fought stupid and it was a beautiful fight for most fans.

Lol. King Hippo

All those bodyshots were hailmarys too?

Man give Stipe credit. Dude did something special. If you down play Stipes win, you downplay Daniel Cormier.

They're 1-1 and if you're being objective, DC's win is more impressive
