Remember last time when Stipe was the underdog against Ngannou?

[BjPenn2017]

It's always hard for people to really be 100% on Stipe and I don't know why that is

Fedor is why.

Fedor fans are perpetually butthurt at the fact Stipe could possibly threaten his throne as the HW GOAT if he racks up a few more big wins.

If Stipe beats Francis again and Jon Jones he could retire but I sort of think Stipe might just go out on his shield and retire after like 2 losses or something *shrugs* I dunno he just seems like the kind of guy to ride the wave 'til it's over.

Francis is always dangerous, he also hit Stipe with some hard shots in the first fight.

He earned another title fight, all the talk about this rematch making so sense because Stipe already beat him is ridiculous. You remember Stipe getting first round KO'd against DC right?

 

[TR1]

Embarrassing output by Ngannu lol.

He just never looks super dominant fight after fight. I mean. He knocks people out and gets finishes, but he's never just all over dudes like a prime Jon Jones. GSP, or Khabib. He leaves doubt by not absolutely overwhelming people. He never really looks like a cat playing with a mouse the way some fighters do. I can remember watching Cain beat down people and thinking to myself "who's going to fuck with that?" after the fight. I've never felt like that after watching Stipe.

 

[maximus__]

when was he an underdog? Francis won for good reason.

I never said he was? My point is that Francis has basically looked exaactly the same pre Stipe title fight and Post Stipe. He hasn't shown anything to make anyone believe the fight will go differently. Anything besides Stipe being the favourite makes no sense, but the punchers chance and UFC hype machine will probably make it seem like there is.
Francis always can win by devastating KO, otherwise Stipe by decision or late TKO G&P finish.

Sure. By holding on for dear life for 25 minutes. Got me there.

Again, do you actually watch the fights?

Two gifs of the same punch. And what does it prove? Stipe can beat a gassed fighter to the punch after wrestlefucking? Stfu. Carry on. He won the fight and made the main event more boring than an Usman match.

That’s it just keep spinning your nonsense narrative, why let a silly thing like fact stand in your way.

 

[Iron Skin]

Also the UFC promoted Ngannou as the baddest man in the world

You just want to argue. No wonder you're dubbed.

 

[Fight Professor]

Ngannou better try to KO Stipe in the first 30 seconds, like he did against Rosen. But Stipe is way more difficult to hit and will be ready for the plan. There is a 90% chance that it is going to look like the first fight.

Numbnuts, those GIFs were ALL before Stipe took him down. It was the first round.

 

[Willek]

The funny thing is Francis hasn't shown any improvement since that fight and has fought his way to a title in the exact same way again.

So he shouldn’t KO dudes in 30 seconds so he can show his new skills?

Hush child. Adults are talking.

Exactly, that's your cue to shut the fuck up.

I have Fedor as the HW goat but I'll have no problem putting Stipe over him if he beats Ngannou and Jon Jones

Sherdog PBP had it

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Stipe is a fucking monster.
