Stipe says only fight he'll accept is a DC rematch, confident it happens in spite of Lesnar.

[Medulla Omoplata]

No they don't but to act like he doesn't deserve it is crazy. I know he won't get it bc of his personality but out of all people who actually deserve a immediate rematch its him.

Deserves? Pretty subjective.

I'm against immediate rematches in general.
It's not a best of 7, it's a fight.

If you are the best in the division and deserve the belt then go beat some contenders and prove it.

 

[LouisBolanos]

This is more of a JJ-Rose scenario.

JJ got an immediate rematch with Rose because JJ is actually the biggest name at WSW who never shied away from media and promotion. Stipe Miocic is nothing like JJ. He's a negligible name compared to Brock and he doesn't want to market himself.

 

[Failwani]

I guess he won't be fighting again?

Getting knocked out is not grounds for an immediate rematch.

If Stipe is the HW GOAT he claims to be then he should have no problem working his way back to a title shot.

Cody got knocked the fuck out and had 0 title defenses and is getting a rematch. Weidman got knoacked out and was givin a rematch but got hurt but still had it booked. Silva and JJ koed and rematch.

You have an odd definition of KTFO. What happened to Stipe was a TKO, stopped by the official and was immediately up. KTFO is stopped because you’re stiff like a board, all locked up with your eyes rolled back in your skull.

Goodnight, sweet prince

Respect you Stipe - but it's not gonna happen. You got smoked in the 1st round , go smash some top 5 guys again and then Dana will think about it.

You have to admit the current fight being speculated has a far lesser ground (in terms of credentials) than the Stipe fight. The fact that DC is fighting Lesnar allows Stipe a decent case.

I think JDS vs Stipe 3 is his best realistic option.

blaydes? even volkov

volkov lel

Nobody really hates watching Lesnar "fight." Many folks even pay to watch. Everybody wins. No way the UFC sidelines Brock for Stipe.

If Stipe was smart he'd co-main the DC-Lesnar card and call out the winner.

JDS 3, eh, maybe...or Cain! 4 HW champs, one card.

 

[Rod Farva]

Cormier can make 10X the amount to fight Lesnar. He’s not choosing Stipe over Brock.

If DC wins, he retires.
If Brock wins, he’s the champ.

What does Stipe do?

No totally, I get the Lesnar thing, I was just speaking from the purist standpoint.

Haha, I like that, actually how about 6 HW champs one card?

DC vs Lesnar
Stipe vs Cain
Werdum vs JDS II

 

[Aegon Spengler]

aaaaaaaaaaahahahahhahaah

Stipe thinks he's in a position to make demands!!!

The UFC should just cut him. They have a crap HW division anyway. Send him to Bellator to face some legit opponents.

 

[Mammothman]

Lol Miocic is delusional if he thinks he is getting a TS next, CTE must be hitting the door for him

 

[fractal]

Who else is deserving of a title shot? Francis and Derek are out after that shitshow. It's either Volkov or Blaydes. Or Stipe rematch.

How can you guys favour Lesnar, over any of those guys? And then you cry about how WME is ruining MMA.

Although Lesnar is most likely to get the shot. There is no way he passes a drug test, but I'm sure WME will do their best to cover it up, at least till after the fight.

 

[moogie101]

Even if Brock pisses hot I can't see the rematch happening. DC has only a couple of fights left, he wants big money fights & Stipe isn't a draw plus Dc won so convincingly how could he top that?

 

[Kumason]

I like Stipe a lot but making demands,especially this one, seems odd right now.Personally though,i'd like to see this rematch as nothing else makes much sense in the division atm when were looking at it as a competition,but we all know that it's mostly money driven.DC would/will destroy Brock imo and Stipe is still the hardest fight for DC at HW.

 

[MikeMcMann]

Well.... he is in for a surprise then...

DC said he will retire, so this might be a long wait for Stipe...

...unless he is counting Lesnar out (i.e. if he gets caught cheating by USADA and can't fight).
UFC then will definitely think about a rematch!

i mean.... who else is there???

Even if Lesner pops on the road to a fight the USADA and UFC would likely bury it until after the fight as its too big a money fight to scuttle. Just as they did in the Anderson/Diaz fight when Anderson popped prior but they did not announce it until after the fight.

 

[Streeter]

Stipe was dominating till eye poke.
