[OzoneX]

Stipe would have probably stopped him late, but with the black beast you never know.

I wonder if they asked him last minute.

 

[Deleted member 545701]

I doubt Stipe would have even signed to fight Derrick Lewis at this point

It's DC or nothing for him in his mind

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Needs some more time to let his balls cool off, understandable

 

[Slatersan]

Derrick Lewis - the man who accidentally became the number one contender.

 

[Sapp]

Stipe doesn't want to fight anyone but DC I thought?

 

[KingBeef]

Maybe he was too deep inside of his wife to get out in time for the fight.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Stipe would have turned down the fight too lol

 

[Espresso]

The salt is Stipe got KTFO by the beast

And yea, doubt Stipe signs up for this.


What happened to his immigrat mentality?

LOL so true shit happens though like Bisping being MW champ or Serra as well.

 

[Deadwing88]

Honestly, he sounded depressed as fuck in that interview with Helwani. Family problems etc..
Hope the guy's alright !

 

[Streeter]

Beast would have a punchers chance but likely gets beat to shit in 2 rds.

When you see how easily Volkov took Beast down Stipe would GnP Beast to death.

 

[Fight Professor]

I thought he was fighting JDS.

Well he didn't beat Ngannu to death, in fact he gassed pretty dam hard. Idk I wouldn't take this fight next if I was Stipe. He waited this long, he might as well see what plays out with DC at this point. It's hard to take anything DC says seriously until he actually signs a contract. He's always working an angle.

He'd be an easy fight for stipe in my opinion he'd just wrestle with him and wear him out. Stipe isn't guaranteed a title shot by sitting out its not like he is a big draw

 

[Pressure Project]

Somebody needs to put this lazy bastard out of his misery.

haven't found a clip of the interview yet - what's happening with Beast??

 

[Sweater of AV]

Dude fought 4 times last year and has chronic injuries. Give him a little time off. Hell they should pay him anyways.

 

[Mahkor]

Lol no way Saltpe was signing that fight.
