Oldman stipe vs oldman hendo

[orca]

be honest how much would you guys give oldman hendo a chance against current Stipe?
the version of hendo who ko'd Fedor
or will you favor hendo to ko oldman stipe?

Miocic wins…

At least in my opinion.

 

[Iroh]

I have no idea how current Stipe performs.

 

[Croton]

Unless Stipe has completely fallen off he would definitely be a huge fav.

Love dan but this is a perfect example of Cormier vs dan and stipe comparison. Stipe just a bad bad match-up and wayyy bigger. Unless a Hendon bomp stipe 9 outta 10

Stipe has better fundamental boxing. The only chance Hendo has is the H-bomb.

Not exactly sure what versions you mean. Fedor is 6 years younger than Hendo. If you mean 40-year old Hendo vs. 34-year old Stipe (same as Hendo-Fedor), then I take Stipe all day. If they fought 100 times, Hendo probably wins a few by H-bomb but that's his only chance. Stipe is too big, too rangy, a bigger/better MMA wrestler and won't try to brawl like Fedor did. And age 34 was pretty much his prime, when he started to put his game together really well.

No way. Stipe is bigger than Fedor and has more technical boxing.

That's harder to say. I'd have to see Stipe fight tomorrow first. He's a LOT older than Fedor was and has had a long layoff. And is Hendo allowed to be on TRT? If so, is Stipe as well?

Dan was already a very undersized MW. The size difference is too much.

This. We dont know what Stipe will look like but if he's still close to the level he was when he last fought and lost to Ngganou, he'd still be favored against most of the shitty HW division. Dan wasn't even ranked in the top 10 when he fought Bisping for the title.

 

[J'Ghasta]

lol you cant be serious. Stipe starches any version of Henderson.

Wasn’t Fedor like a doughy 223lb for the fight? He was basically a flabby LHW. Nemkov is 226lb - 228lb when he fights LHW and he’s ripped. Conversely didn’t Dan water load / stuff himself to make HW / 206? And said he weighed 202lb or something on fight night. Stipe is just too much HW and skill for skill he’s winning everywhere minus a lucky punch.
