When Stefan Struve k.o'd stipe miocic.

[usernamee]

Kind of funny how two of Stipe's KO losses were being eye poked right before

his eyeballs has always been his Achilles heel

 

[Trabaho]

Struves best fight. In 25 bouts Stipe lost to 1 guy that isn't elite. It's not linear. I mean Chuck lost to Jardine. Who lost to Houston, who lost to Kimbo.
Sometimes people have off losses.
Earlier in Stipes career. Struve just had a great night and was a solid fighter.

Stipe was never that good. That's how it works

This is usually a crap argument, but this is a case where I think it actually sorta works. Stipe isn't amazing at anything. He looked beatable in most of his fights. He's good, but I don't agree with him being in GOAT status.

Incidentally, the last time Stipe faced someone in their 20s.

been saying that for years that jon jones biggest advantages are his fight IQ and his reach.

Struve is just an average Sherdogger

Can't believe Jon didn't foul him even once.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

One of these two would go on to become a two time champ with 4 total defenses and 3 defense streak which is the record to this day.

Almost everyone at HW has a weird loss. It's HW.

It was definitely a good win for Struve.

He also beat Nog and Bigfoot.

It wasn't a long stretch of time but if you were paired up against Struve, it could've been a bad night.

 

[g*r*b]

Prospect loss. A common occurrence when a new prospect — remember, Stipe had been less than a year in the UFC — gets rocketed into a main event against a guy with three times his experience.

It was before Hunt broke Struve's jaw and confidence, before the heart issues manifested themselves. He was on a tidy win streak and perhaps the best he's ever been. And it still took an eye poke and a slip to make Stipe's defense flounder enough that he couldn't recover from Struve's barrage, and result in a standing TKO.

Stripping this fight of all context and asterisks and pretending it proves that Stipe was never any good has always been a shit argument. But it is a charge that will never die as long as people prefer memes to reason.

More shocking he wasn't eye poked by Jon. Jones did have his hand in his face on more than one occassion in their fight he just never landed.

I think Jon only pulls dirty stuff when he’s not doing well.

 

[mister piscadinha]

stipe was a non factor when the ufc's HW was at its prime, he's a glover tier champ

got the title in his old age cause the division sucked by then

 

[Darragh]

Struve always looked like a baby head attached to a giant's body while Mighty Mouse always looked like the opposite.

 

[Vehap1]

Man City lost to spurs today, 4-0
With sherdoggers logic they are a shit team now



0 understanding of variance

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

At one point it seemed like Struve was a win or two away from a title shot.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Struve was always a fun fighter to watch
He would win in some crazy way
Or get folded like an XL lawn chair

 

[JoeRowe]

Struve > Francis

 

[DrRodentia]

Classic Eyescraper Struve

I remember during Stipe's run sherdog worshipped him as if he were the 2nd coming of Fedor, the GOAT, unstoppable etc

There were even people claiming he wasn't just the HW GOAT but he was very close to breaking into the Top 5 GOAT list with likes of Jones, GSP, Silva etc, after he beat Ngannou

Now that Jones beat him people are acting like none of that ever happened and that he was always a nobody nothing who never beat anybody lol
