Overeem was in his prime when he fought Stipe for me. Ubereem was fun and all but once people fought back and started catching him he capitulated against Bigfoot and Browne. After those fights he changed his style a bit, learned to manage his gas tank better and beat Junior Dos Santos.
 
Stipe has two wins against significant prime HW fighters: Francis and Werdum. Cormier was a significant win against a non-prime HW (age 40, almost retired).
pretty much this, and even werdum was pretty old and has been around forever.

but that's HW.

Werdum was 38/39 and was fighting for 15 years when Stipe beat him, what's the difference between him and DC?
 
Everyone of then with the exception of evereem, prime "jds" was jds with no takedown defence
 
Amazing how people try to rewrite history when it comes to stipe, if he wins his opponent is out of his prime, if he loses then he suck. Sherdog does this to all the fighters but stipe is next level
 
I thnk Cormier was closer to his prime than Francis when you consider talent being developed. Francis was in his physical prime but not close to technical.
 
I appreciate the input and value your opinion. But then again I’m an idiot, I would value someone like you and your opinion. I don’t usually pull this one out cause its douchey to say but Im responding my audience: I’m gonna go stack a ton of fuckin chips with my tomfoolery and idiocy. Apparently they’ll let anyone be a scientist these days. Hopefully my funding sources don’t find out some obviously astute gentleman on sherdog finds my theories and me, by extension, idiotic. That could be troublesome for my career. As with your other pal arguing, this concept seems to be above your head as well, so I’m not gonna throw a tennis ball at a wall and expect the wall to absorb it. I’m sure you’re running low on Copenhagen so go on and git skidaddlying your way to the local quickie mart.

It's not "me" lol, it's literally every bit of research ever conducted of the topic of human performance. Find me one single source to support your claim that a 40 year old man is in his physical prime. If anything you said is true it should take you less than 5 minutes. Of course if anything you said was true you would have already done that instead of just making vague claims about your job over the internet and how "I just don't get it" like a fucking 15 year old who got caught lying and has nothing left to say.

You are 1000% wrong and you almost certainly lying about your credentials (or you are just terrible at your job) the end.
 
Even though Cormier is 40 its hard for me to say he's past his prime as he's still competing at such a high level.
DC looked like he was fighting in mud in all his fights in his return to HW

Werdum was Champ but he was 39 years old, not exactly a young buck.

Ubereem never lost, he ended after he got USADA'd he started getting KO'd after he got off the PED's against Bigfoot and Browne.

He was one-shotting everyone with knees to the body when he was a shredded 265lbs.

By the time he got to Stipe he'd been KO'd 14 times and had over 50 fights between MMA and K1, that's not prime.

The guys Reem beat on his run to the title were all past prime as well Nelson, JDS, Arlovski and Struve. I'd say the whole lot of them were much better fighters in 2009.

If you look at most of Stipe's opponents they were the wrong side of 35 and if you look at their history most of them were much better fighters 5 years previously.

Francis was young and dangerous but he'd be a tougher match up now.

DC had all the skills but his body's starting to slow down he was already past the date he'd set for his own retirement.

Overeem and JDS were 5 years past their best. Werdum was Champ but he was 39 years old, not many guys are prime at 40.

I consider young JDS to have had the best streak at HW in UFC, beat most of these guys closer to their actual primes and JDS himself wasn't the same after those wars with Cain.

I appreciate your point but at the same time I don't think that the version of Overeem that lost to Stipe loses to any of the Ubereem victims either (Werdum could beat him, but not with the tactics he used in Strikeforce).

Werdum ran into Stipe's fist and is now retired.

So DC is prime until he retires?

Werdum was caugh on steroids so there is a good chance he was even doping against stipe, and dc literally had only lost to jones before stipe, age doesnt say anything about a fighters "prime" rory mcdonald is young but he's carrer is basically over. You are basically rewriting history based on nothing but your opinion
 
I thought the last few names were a troll job at first lol. Penn, Maynard and Holm... You should also just put Barry or P. Barry instead of Moosin. Would look like he has wins over BJ, Gray Maynard, Holly Holm and Pat Barry.

1000% wrong? I’ll have to check with my high school math teacher but I don’t think that’s a real thing. OOPS, you’ve caught me and revealed my true age of 15 using some sort of reverse psychology, which I actually plan on majoring in college in a few years. LOL I can you see you just pounding away on your keyboard with your big stubby fingers in a rage over what someone says on the internet with steam comin outta your ears. Put on your clown shoes and take the local public transportation to the library (if you know where that is) and read up on how behavior (and thus performance which we would then use to determine a human’s prime) is measured. Certainly we’d have to operationally define all those terms to eliminate subjectivity, determine criteria for interobserver agreement and most importantly determine what experimental design will be most effective in isolating the variables to determine the individual’s ‘prime.’ I’d go for a single subject design because as you know, people are individuals and not groups and putting all people in the same group as they develop differently would be scientifically irresponsible. You seem like you’re old hat with experimental design and behavior measurement so we don’t need to go over that in much more detail. Well, I’ve got to go and put on some zit cream for my 15 year old face and study for my drivers exam. Let me know how your trip to the library goes! This thread is lit, fam!
 
DC looked like he was fighting in mud in all his fights in his return to HW
So he managed to win the HW title while he “looked like he was fighting in mud” then?? Wtf?
 
I know that he beat ngannou but that version was green and Most people believe that he gets KTFO if they rematch.


Stipe has one of the weakest resumes ever for a Champion and people claim that he’s a better HW then Fedor.
