It Stipe is looking to reclaim his belt and it appears that Dana isn’t gonna just give him another title shot. Overeem said he thinks his win over Alexey Oleynik last night puts him 1 fight away from a title shot.

Why not have Overeem and Stipe rematch for #1 HW contender and that winner fights the winner of Lesnar vs Cormier for the HW belt?

It would especially be interesting if Overeem beat Miocic because it would set up a rematch with Lesnar (if Lesnar took the HW strap from DC) and rubber match with Stipe.
 
Stipe's going to get a rematch. Das fighting someone in August and the Brock fight looks like it's not going to happen.

Overeem vs Volkov makes sense but Jds vs Ngannou winner is next for a title shot.
 
Stipes next fight should be DC. A lot less entitled people get immediate rematches. Now we have the longest defended champ not get a rematch? Bizzare.

It’s not like dc was working him for 5 rounds.

He caught it. Can happen to anyone at heavyweight.
 
It would be a great rematch. Either the winner of that or the winner of JDS vs Ngannou would get it.

Keep dreaming, Dana just trying to keep the peace, Stipe won't be fighting and that's a promise. DC will sit out until the end of the year waiting for a Brock or Jones fight. There is no need to take the Stipe fight, he slept ol boy in 3 minutes and Stipe didn't want to promote himself or his fights up until that point. Back of the line he goes.
 
JDS/Ngnou winner deserves it more. Reem is in the #1 contender fight behind that.

JDS- Ivanov, Tuavasa, Lewis and Nganou
Nganou- Blaydes, Cain and JDS
 
It's funny, people want Stipe to fight someone, anyone again

But that's an automatic win for him. Francis and cormier really the only guys posing a threat to Stipe

Why waste the time

Overeem dropped Stipe I think too and is a threat to anyone in the HW division.

I don’t think anyone would be booing a Stipe vs. Overeem rematch.

It's pointless

First round finish again. Overeem landed a single significant strike and was otherwise completely out classed standing and then treated like a baby on the ground. Curtis blaydes has since treated him the same way.
 
If JDS leans his back against the cage as he often does in his fights, might not go well for him against Ngannou. JDS would have to keep fight in center of octagon.

Thats a pretty dumb thing to say, specially at HW.

We know you like Miocic but he is not a lock against any other HW

Longest defending champ with just 3 defenses, Aldo not getting a rematch was a crime.

Is not like Miocic was outclassing him either
 
Sounds good but the winner of JDS vs Ngannou should be next in line, I don't think the Brock fight will happen.

Meanwhile Miocic can actually earn a TS by fighting Overeem, then he will have a case about getting a TS
 
Stipe wants a rematch with DC only! He will scoff and ignore you if you mention any other thing as being fair.
 
Stipe should fight Blaydes. Overeem should fight Volkov if he's free to fight. JDS is fighting Ngannou. Brock shouldn't be anywhere near the title. When DC is back he should fight whoever looks most impressive out of the winners of Stipe/Curtis and JDS/Francis.

Lesnar vs. DC is a money fight and Cormier is looking to set up his retirement not build up his legacy which is already solid.


DC vs Blaydes.....no one wants to see that.
