I hope he can recover from his knee issues. Those defiitely seemed to mess with his movement.
Another issue is his attitude towards being punched. He just doesn't give a damn. He eats everything and does not seem to bother to protect his head in order to defend TDs instead. But imo the prize is to high.
But I think as long as his knees are fine, he is still able to move and fight like he did earlier in his career.

Maybe lost a step compared to his former self, maybe not.
What's hilarious is people blowing off a win against Stipe as if he's a walk in the park, for anyone at that division. These are accomplishments, damn it. And just because you're not holding the belt or fighting for it, doesn't mean we should respect these fighters any less. That's my .02 for Sherdog today. It's just getting old the bashing we tend to do all because of this selfish idea that we want title fights, and top contenders or even-matchups are all that matter, everyone else should just retire.
Stop and think for a second what the fighters want and how they just enjoy scrapping for a living. Of course the title matters, but for some of them just standing across the octagon from another competitor is their passion.

I do think that JDS won't be the same after Cain 2, 3 and the Stipe fight, however Stipe is also very underrated and has a well rounded skillset that allowed him to match up well with JDS due to his fast hands, his durability and his clinch and wrestling.
JDS took like a career worth of damage in about 3 fights in a row, he could rebound a bit in his next fight, I don't think he's done as a top fighter, just that his potential got lowered a bit due to all the head shots.
