The DC win over Stipe is a big asterisk. Aside from that, I still don't see how you could rate DC above Stipe. Talk about shopworn and washed HWs, look who DC beat in SF and tell me with a straight face that his run there was better than Stipe's. Monson, Mir, Roy, old MW Hendo? Like I said, Barnett is a quality win. Bigfoot has always been inconsistent- on his best night with moon juice pulsing through his veins, he was a dangerous, but never a great HW.
DC beat peak Barnett.
DC beat peak Bigfoot who was coming off a win over Fedor and went on to UFC to melt an even better version of Overeem than Stipe beat, Travis Browne and went on to fight for a title after.
DC also beat Stipe close to Stipes peak.
Those 3 wins are better than 90% of Stipes wins over senior citizens.
Anyways I said Stipe is a great fighter just overrated by UFC fanboys.
