Stipe wouldn't even survive during Fedor's era

So why are noobs acting like if he was the GOAT HW ? For sake he'd lost to big Nog or Mirko 10/10.

The result is pretty fresh so I understand the fervor but please let's not forget what the real GOAT has accomplished.

Fedor would have never go life and death with 5'8 Cormier and he would have zulu'd Franck in one round without having to hold for his life during 25 minutes.

Edit : some peoples are accusing me of trolling. My title thread may be exagerated so I'll bring some shade. Stipe could be a solid top 10 fighter but honestly I can't see him doing better. The ring wouldn't be good for him. For exemple he couldn't apply his gameplan for Ngannou under the Pride rules.

0/10 - try again "noob"

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.

Well Werdum had higher level BJJ than Nog and he just knocked him out, so there's always that option.
 
I agree the HW is far from thriving but let's not be dumb, a guy with freakish strenght and good boxing and clinch would be a puzzle in every era.

Not sure he would have beaten Fedor but I'd favor him over both Big Nog and the fight against Mirko is a toss up, expecially in a cage.

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
 
Stipe would be a top contender in any era. Would've loved to have seen him against Fedor, CroCop, and Big Nog during their primes. Those would've been great fights. I think he likely smokes all of the other HWs of that era though Arlovski had the speed and power to sleep anyone and poor Timmy is criminally underrated.

Baseless claim.
 
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..
