Media Remember when Stipe Miocic fought with a torn retina from an eye poke and finished Daniel Cormier? He’s now in the hall of fame.

Congrats champ on HOF induction, I didn’t realize how amazing it was that you didn’t quit from an eye poke that torn your retina, that actually required surgery. No crying, no documentaries on the “truth behind the eye poke” just handled it like a man.

Miocic likely out for rest of year with eye injury

Heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic is still recovering from a "major" eye injury, his agent said, leaving a return in 2019 virtually impossible.

A well deserved HOF spot for a real heavyweight champ

Stipe should be entitled to quit & win by DQ in such circumstances.

You shouldn't have to fight on cause someone keeps gouging your eyes out

Title: "he's now in the hall of fame"

Reality: He's in the Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame, not the UFC Hall of Fame

you clickbaiting son of a bitch lol

All pokes are the same, all injuries are the same. Best believe it.

Nah not the same, torn retina requiring surgery is like 1,000x worse than brown syndrome.

Can't compare the two. Stipe is a firefighter and a different breed...

I hate DC and I believe the stipe dc 2 or 3 fight was on my birthday sometime in august. it was a very happy birthday

Edit: Both were on my birthday weeked, but 3 was on the exact date

He's in the Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame, not the UFC Hall of friends of Dana.

Arguably more prestigious, considering some of the duds that Dana has added

Spinal tom will never be a warrior of HW we deserve

Stipe was such a boring champ

 

[shh]

Stipe is not getting nowhere near the credit he deserves around here.

Stipe > Assquitinall

He will get more as after him, the “Assmunchall era” is proving to be an all time disaster.

Stipe was such a boring champ

Boring, no charisma and talked like he had gravel in his mouth BUT….

Stipe > Visine Tom.

No I dont remember that, which validates Aspinall's decision even more, frankly.

Anthony Smith should have taken the DQ victory when Jones intentionally kneed him in the head too. Its hilarious the way these guys are emotionally blackmailed into continuing and then cast aside.

What are you even talking about, who is emotionally blackmailing Stipe?

It’s called being a tough SOB. Keep this emotional shit to Aspinall.

No, it’s ufc 241, second fight. Cormier poked Stipe in both the first and second bouts of the trilogy.

The pokes from 241 messed up his eye so bad he got surgery.

Photo is 1st fight,DC has blue tapes on gloves meaning he was the challenger
Stipe won against DC when he was the challenger therefore he had to have blue tape on gloves.

Now that you mentioned yes i remember he got poked in that 2nd fight too,ref again didnt react and luckily Stipe actually landed a nice combo on DC

Your right, the actual photo seems to be from the first right.
