I think if DC wins the trilogy fight it will show that the rematch was more of a fluke by DC getting overconfident and that it is not a case of Stipe actually being a better fighter or close to DC.
This fight will be pretty huge for both DC and Stipe's fighting legacies.
Part two showed me two things:
1. DC's fight IQ and heart is now somewhat in doubt, and I never thought I'd say that....he needs to win part 3 or make a really gutsy showing(pun intended) to never have to hear that again. He didn't even bother getting into shape for part 2.
DC is hella faster than Stipe and if he makes the necessary training and mental commitments he can use speed as his biggest weapon as he so often does.
2. Never count Stipe out. He had every reason to roll over in part 2 but he simply refused.
If Stipe wins part 3 it will be one of if not Stipe's most impressive accomplishments and will put an exclamation point on his already stellar career. Beating DC 2/3 at HW would be a very difficult thing for others to match in terms of resume.
However none of that bullshit matters to Stipe. To him he just doesn't want another man to have what he feels is rightfully his. For him to defend against DC would be insane for Stipes already solid confidence level.
