Overeem is the Biggest Remaining Threat to Stipe, and if Stipe Wins....

[Final Say]

...he will break the defense record and go down as one of the best UFC heavyweights of all time.


Let's talk about it

Agreed stipe is CRIMINALLY underrated.

 

[countswagula]

Whoever's currently winning is the GOAT according to you guys. Werdum and Cain got the same treatment when they were champions

 

[chitoortiz]

There are lots of threats at HW to stipe

Almost anyone in the top 10 can beat each other on a given day

People always seem to have a reason why he wins fights other than him just being way better than his opponent.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

JDS is still a great match up. great hands and movement

u mad bro?

That may be true for others, but I've been on this train since before he was in the UFC. I'm not your average dogger.

There are threats, but Overeem is the biggest question mark left. He's a terrible match up for Cain and Werdum. He will beat Junior in a rematch. Who else? Brock? Rothwell? He has a serious chance at doing this

Cain.

Cain.

There isn't a worse match up for Cain

I'd say Werdum not fighting stupid would be a serious threat to stipe

JDS is another big threat but Stipe gave him everything he can handle and has improved a lot since then. I see a TKO in the rematch

 

[BigNuggetIce]

Idk. Cain looked really good last night. That Cain is capable of beating stipe. I also think Werdum could possibly do it in a rematch. Jds could do it as well. Of course stipe could win all those fights too but saying if he beats overeem then he's got the title defense record in the bag is putting the cart before the horse or whatever the old expression is.

I'd say Werdum not fighting stupid would be a serious threat to stipe

Werdum had all his kicks checked, whiffed on multiple punches, was eating hard strikes, was taking leg kicks and missed by 10 miles on a TD attempt.

Stipe is his worse nightmare

Fair enough. And granted breaking the consecutive title defense record isn't that far off for any new champion at heavyweight, but the record has still stood for nearly 10 years.

 

[MadHouse]

Overeem
Werdum
Cain
maybe JDS

all those guys are a threat to him, i would include Brock but who knows if he will be back

 

[Jedi Judah]

For once, I agree with you

 

[Sampsonsimpson]

Idk, if Stefan Struve can earn a title shot things could get interesting.
