I think DC will completely change his up from their rematch. Apparently when DC was getting lit up his corner kept yelling for him to go for the TD but DC kept it standing and got beat. So, apparently his game plan was to mix up his wrestling and striking but DC didn't listen. Common case for wrestlers who have decent striking and fall in love with their striking and forget about their wrestling base.
I think DC's game plan will be same as his game plan in his 2nd fight with Stipe which was mix up his wrestling and striking but this time he will actually follow it. I believe they said Khabib is another fighter who doesn't always listen to his corner, he's just been lucky enough to not lose do to that. Even if DC doesn't keep Stipe down for long on a takedown if he wears him out, gets a few punches in he does a few things, tires Stipe out, makes him worried about the takedown which makes DC's striking even more effective, and puts points on the board for DC.
Stipe is mostly a striker so I see him attempting to keep the fight standing and make it a striking match where he can attempt to land those vicious body shots and eventually head shots to put DC down. He could try kicks but those always lead him open to a takedown against a wrestler like DC. I could see Stipe attempt some takedowns to confuse DC and take him off his game but we'll see.
What will DC and Stipe's game plans be for their trilogy fight?
