Tai Tuivasa vs Stipe Miocic

I'd like to see that fight, but can't see Stipe coming back for a name like Tuivasa, especially after he just got absolutely bodied by Pavlovich.

Stipe is old, considering retirement and no way in hell fighting for a title. If he fights a youngin in Tai whos on a losing streak then he could make a lasting final legacy.
 
That's about as winnable of a fight he's going to get nowadays. He's past his experation date. Probably should just retire.

Stipe is very selective at this point, he's not gonna fight someone coming off back to back KO losses lol.

And this is why the whole thing of UFC fighters having complete control of their fights is BS. Their opinions should be considered but at the end of the day it should be UFC who decides the fights, not the fighters. Purely idiotic.
 
Stipe takes him down and beats him to a tko
 
Stipe is a heavy favourite but I wouldn’t be shocked to see this happen again.

Ngannou nearly killed him.
 
Easy 30-27 for Stipe. Tai is not that good. Just dont brawl and you should be able to out kickbox him.
 
Tuivasa is a low skilled fighter like Derrick Lewis. These guys are brawlers with no wrestling and no ground game. Light work for someone like Stipe who could take them down and beat them up on the ground and then let them back up and TKO them once they're exhausted. If he did it to DC he can do it to them easily.
 
Tai Ko's stipe

I think Stipe has lost a step, Which is normal after about 7 title fights

Even if things were the way you said, UFC wouldn't be trying to put this fight together with Tai coming off two losses, he doesn't deserve it. If Stipe was going to come back for something other than a title fight, a fight with a deserving top contender like Gane, Blaydes or Pavlovich would make much more sense.
 
Not a good fight for Tai. It would look like Hunt just more dominant and would finish earlier.

Stipe is way too old and undeserving of those young guns on win streaks, especially Gane.
 
... Have you seen Stipe vs Hunt? maybe one of the most prolonged beatings in history.

You could put Randy Couture in for Stipe as well with this logic, and you’d be right if Randy wasn’t so past his prime.
