Who hits harder? Prime DC or Stipe?

[Ludwig von Mises]

Monson was 40
Barnett was 35
Mir was 34 (post motorcyle accident)
Nelson was 37
Hendo was 44

Just stop, man. This is getting embarrassing.

Bigfoot was at his peak. Just beat Fedor and went on to smash Reem and Bronwe to get a title shot.

Barnett was on a winning streak and looked amazing.

Name one all time great HW Stipe beat at their peak.

Bigfoot is an all-time great HW?

Barnett 14 years into his career is at his peak?

I didn't say Bigfoot was an all time great but he was peaking.

Barnett was peaking at the time too.

You're just a shameless little UFC fanboy.

Still haven't name a single all time great HW Stipe beat at their peak..

Hard pressed little man?

I want you to try and re-read yourself slowly, go back and re-read yourself again, and then see if you can spot the different standards you're holding DC and Stipe to.

So you acknowledge that bigfoot and Barnett can be at their peak in their mid to late 30’s, but Stipe’s competition can’t? Game, set, match buddy. See yourself out and pipe down. @markg171 this guy is clown shoes

 

[DecisionSplit]

Stipe has been said by multiple HWs to hit even harder than Ngannou. He might be the hardest hitter in UFC history.

Barnett and Bigfoot performed well after losing to DC.

Stipes best wins didn't. All retired or fell off a cliff.

Werdum was coming off the best performance of his career when stipe slept him

Werdum was coming off the best performance of his career when stipe slept him

Good win but Werdum was 39 and went 4-5 in his next 9.

 

[GolovKing]

When they fought each other, dcs punches seemed heavier than stipes but could just be stipe fighting DC differently than he did most opponents. Looking at their highlights and record, stipe looks to have more power

 

[GolovKing]

Who said that?

 

[jx820]

Raw power as measured in pounds per square inch of striking surface... Probably Stipe.

But DC absolutely flatlined Stipe and Bigfoot. Which at the time were IMO as impressive as any of Stipe's KOs on the feet.

Yeah, that's mostly why I've been on the fence.

I think DC's potential for raw power is up there, but he's less consistent with it. Probably trying to pace himself / conserve energy in some of his fights, so he didn't throw everything into his punches.

Stipe doesn't really need to have that same self preservation

At the same time, Stipe is better at finding that chin. Which feels like it can skew raw power comparisons a bit.

 

[NoSmilez]

Past a certain weight everyone hits pretty hard.

Across 3 fights Stipe KO'd DC 1x and dropped him 2x, while DC KO'd him 1x and dropped him 1x.

So I have no idea how you came to that possible conclusion.

 

[blaseblase]

DC actually beat all time great HWs in their prime while Stipe lost to them

Uh no? He fought Barnett and a shot Mir. He did not face the best heavyweights of his era because his gym buddy was in the title picture so he went down to LHW.

DC knocked out BF when BF was coming off a win over Fedor and went on to melt Overeem and Browne in the UFC to get himself a title shot agaisnt Cain.

DC beat Barnett when Barnett was on an 8 fight winning streak with his ony loss in his last 10 fights coming to Big Nog.

These versions of BF and Barnett were much better fighters than the versions of Reem, JDS, AA and Werdum that Stipe beat.

Bigfoot is a greater win because, after further getting KO'd by Cain in only 3 minutes, he got a 2 fight win streak that got him to a title shot against Cain and lost this time even worse in only 1 minute.

And Barnett is a greater win for making it to the SF GP's championship fight and losing it to an alternate green rookie.

Everybody who were reigning champions, got title shots, or had title eliminators against Stipe though suck ass. Great takes man, just keep on digging yourself further down this absurd hole.

BF went on to beat damn near peak Overem and fight for a title. A much better version of Reem than Stipe beat 3 ko losses later.

Barnett was on an 8 fight win streak.

Sorry little man, but these wins are better than the Reem Stipe fought who had already been KOd in the UFC 3x, 37 year old AA who never won another meaningful fight again, CTE JDS who went 1-5 n his next 6 or Werdum who was 39 and went 4-5 in his next 9 fights without winning another meaningful fight ever again.

BF losing to peak Cain isn't something to be ashamed of. You're a clown for even trying to frame it like that. You're one of the most shameless fanboys on this forum.
