Stipe wouldn't even survive during Fedor's era

Well Werdum had higher level BJJ than Nog and he just knocked him out, so there's always that option.

Man, Werdum bullrushed Stipe lol. Big Nog would have never ever do that.

You are trolling. Just stop, bruh. Cormier struggled to get and hold Stipe down - you think Nog is going to implement his BJJ on him though lol

Honestly I think that 2014 Cormier would have been a different story.
 
LMAO ! So you think that I'm trolling ? Please tell me how Stipe would do in the Pride ring ? How de would with Nog's elite BJJ or Mirko's striking ?


For sake he could lose to Randleman.
He would deal with Mirkos striking the same way Gonzaga, Kongo, Schaub, Mir & Nelson did, outclass him.
 
It’s mind blowing that people are saying Stipe is the HW Goat. Retarded actually.

He would have been Aleks level in Pride.

Nog in 2003/4 would kill prime Stipe. We don’t even need to include Fedor.

The UFC hype machine has done its job.
 
Fedor and Cro Cop would both be difficult fights for sure - but couldn't think of a better stylistic match up for Stipe than Big Nog..

Only in the Pride Ring..

In the UFC cage Stipe can put them on the fence and wear them down.. If DC could not stop Stipe from doing this on Sat with all his wrestling creds, CC and Fedor would be powerless in that position.
 
So there’s no room in PRIDE for guys like Stipe, JDS and Cain....

because it’s so stacked with the cans Fedor, Nog and Cro Cop used to crush between big fights.

i love PRIDE, but some people on here are fucking idiots

Any of those 3 would have made a splash in PRIDE. Cain would have to adapt to the ring the most because he would lose the fence to clinch and dirty box guys.
 
Nog and Mirko came to the UFC, and got battered.

The fact that you are putting Zulu and Francis in the same sentence is beyond ignorant.

Send this to the wasteland.
Big Nog and Crocop were both well past their prime when they came into the UFC.

Fedor's still winning big fights against dudes who have far less mileage than him. He's beaten almost every major fighter from his era.
 
I was not impressed by Stipe DC 3 that's for sure, I can't see how you can have such a mediocre wrestle boxer as the HW GOAT.
 
I'm a big fan of Pride FC, and the era we are talking about. Stipe would've done great during this era IMO Great hands, solid chin, and great takedown defense. Pretty much a better version if Sergei (1 of my favs). Watching Stipe and Hunt go at it would've been epic.
