Stipe training with Bader

[VegetaGD]

Has Ryan gone on record on what it's like training with Stipe? Certainly he wouldn't reveal any strategy, but curious if he's made comments about Stipe's general abilities.

Stipe's frame is considerably larger than Bader's here making me think that DC is going to struggle with the combo of size, speed, and skill. Look at Stipe's left leg next to Bader's right.

Fuck Bader.

Once Stipe sends DC into retirement, since Jones is suspended, Bader will have a real argument to best LHW in the world.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I'm sure he'd say something like, "Glad I'm not fighting that dude."

 

[Thesnake101]

Oh no, Bader's hairline has started to recede.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

That’s the best Stipe could come up with? A right hand spamming basic power double wrestler?

 

[BigTruck]

Fuck Bader.

Tell me how you really feel.

 

[accolyte1022]

Fuck Bader.

Pretty sure you'd be the one on the receiving end.

No, no he won't. He got smashed by Glover rumble and Jones machida and fucking Tito. Unless he comes back and beats Glover rumble Jones and gus then not even close.

Come on now, first thing that popped in your mind when you read my post was another mans booty hole.

I think bader is the one training w Stipe here lol but still im sure a strong wrestler came in handy during this camp

 

[SCTwins]

Stipe has Popeye face.

Bader is 10-1 since the Glover loss whiles Glover is 5-4 since that fight. Rumble is retired, Jones is suspended and the only other person with an argument is Gus who everyone complains right now doesn't deserve a title shot in the UFC and who has averaged less than 1 win per year over the last 4 years.

Damn Stipe's hand looks like a shovel!

basic power double wrestler? Baders inside wrist control game is actually really strong and he shut down that aspect of Phil Davis' game, a former PSU wrestler who's entire program wins titles on that meta.

 

[Anomonis]

Bader is a good wrestler, but not on DCs level. Even if he can learn to handle Bader, that won't give him much of an edge against Cormier. Plus Cormier uses a lot of clinch which I can't recall if Bader has shown high proficiency there.

He’s better than that give him his dues. Dude his improved a ton. He’s got a solid jab and good left hook to go with it.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Trippy to see how much bigger Stipe is than Bader, who is himself a good sized LHW.

Miocic is one big dude. Crazy how fast he moves at his size.

 

[Nosferatu.]

Stipe is a fuckin monster. Bader is a big LHW and he makes him look small.

Bader weighed in at 225 for the HW fight. That's a bit less than I thought. I figured around 235 considering many lighter weight fighters walking around at 20 pounds over. But yeah Stipe is a lot bigger. Although it would not surprise me if DC doesn't weigh about the same as Stipe.
