Who has better hands: Sergei or Stipe?

You basically answered your own question.
 
I think Stipe is better and I would take him if they fought
 
I hear Sergei has a lot of cracks in his skin.
 
I heard Dos Santos' hands are amazing. So powerful, so rugged...
 
I'd take Sergei in a boxing match

But obviously both are good
 
Technically Stipe might be more technical overall. But I think Stipe is one of those fighters who looks great when he can enforce his gameplan, but he might have problems playing someone else's game. While he did really well against JDS, he still lost and JDS' boxing gameplan is also the one that works well for Stipe. I think Sergei would weather the storm and win by TKO.
 
sergei has better technique and power but stipe is the faster guy.
 
Prime Sergei would have smoked Stipe and it wouldn't even be competitive. Stipe should worry about getting starched by Struve again.

Miocic is a Golden Gloves boxing champion, I think he has better technique.
 
Stipe Miocic

Significant Strikes Landed per Minute= 4.87

Significant Striking Accuracy= 49%

Significant Strikes Absorbed per Minute= 3.26

Significant Strike Defence (the % of opponents strikes that did not land) = 62%

Sergei Kharitonov

Significant Strikes Landed per Minute= 3.90

Significant Striking Accuracy= 44%

Significant Strikes Absorbed per Minute= 3.03

Significant Strike Defence (the % of opponents strikes that did not land) = 54%

Aleks is better than both of them. But in answer to your question I think now Stipe is definitely better, in Sergeis prime I think he has better hands. In terms of who would win an MMA fight I think Stipe now beats any version of Sergei. (I'm a big fan of Sergei)
 
Sergei.

If they fight Stipe would try to take him down.
 
I'd say Sergei. Stipe really just seems to alternate between his jab and his straight and cross. It works for him obviously and I feel it makes him a bit more elusive than Sergei was so you can't really fault him.
 
Sergei is one of the slowest fighters out there. Stipe would land at will on Sergei and finish him. Sergei is tough but he's been finished quite a few times in his mma/kickboxing career.
 
Right now, Stipe besmirches Sergei of any era.
 
Stipe beats any version of Sergei except maybe that really early version of Sergei that wasn't in love with his hands and realized he knew some grappling.

Guys is incredibly lumbering and slow, he just has bricks for hands. Stipe is smart, and he'd fight like he is. That wouldn't require him to be a wrestler, either. He just would know to stick and move and not get cornered into a brawl. Despite the embarrassing Struve loss, has since proven his chin is good enough. He went the distance with JDS.
