Dcs eye has never been the same. He literally moved his eye with that eye poke for life and he continued to fight. Crazy

Impressive fighter but he deserved to lose an eye bisping style for the shit he pulled against stipe

[@scrappy1416]

As a massive fan of Stipe, watching DC bitch about ONE eyepoke in this fight after he poked Stipe over 20 times in the last fight and Stipe NEVER complained, is absolutely hilarious to me.

When there is no crowd you really realise that they really are smacking each other, what they go through is incredible

[@vichuvishwa8141]

How tf was Stipe taking so many shots. That's some god tier chin unfortunately there's only so many nukes you could take from Ngannou.

[@madgavin7568]

He's quite resilient at taking a punch, provided he sees shots coming. All his KO losses came when he didn't see a shot coming, although Ngannou caught him with such a perfect check hook it probably wouldn't have mattered even if he saw the punch coming, as Ngannou has freak power and Miocic ran straight into it.

[@GoulagInamte777]

Stipe's chin and cardio were always his greatest weapon, his cardio probably comes from his firefighter training

[@RFRM89]

@@thegreg9800 i don't believe Ngannou is a good fighter at all (skill wise) He's just so unbelievably powerful he can negate the skill that Stipe had in their 2nd bout. I have to give him credit for the wrestling skill he showed against Gane. But i think DC would destroy him like he did with Derrick. Especially before his back problems.

[@RightfootWestHam]

In both the second and third fight... Both eyepokes (against both of them) were deemed by the referee as "punches" , when they are clearly pokes. Well aware that its superhard for the referee to see it and it happens extremly fast and often on the side where the referee aint. UFC can fix this easy by either allowing technology that detects eyepokes or "eyepoke" referee that only check for that stuff, and can fast and easy "pause" the fight for investigaion and rest for the fighter that got eyepoked. The "5 min rule" is pure bs though, some injuries takes longer time to recover from. If its not the main event, the fight should be restarted in its entierty after the main event with both fighters fresh, and maybe 1 fighter coming in to that fight with -1 point due to the eyepoke. There are lots that can be done, but noone does anything... Just waiting for when one of Danas favorites gets eyepoked out of a championship for this madness to end and things to start change.

[@craigr4763]

With you on that and yes, you're probably right about what has to happen for it to change, sadly.

[@MrSturdystratus]

Agreed and there needs to be points taken for the first eye poke no more warnings. Fighters know it’s illegal accident or not

[@spiritofworship8776]

That eye poke from Stipe really messed up DC for the rest of the fight. DC still performed well after that, just not enough to win. Legends.

2:42 for such a natural and instinctive wrestler, I'm surprised he didn't level change and take advantage of Stipe walking forward swinging. Wasn't much distance to cover either.

[@kingcosmuder8078]

I don’t care what anybody says it’s the only reason dc lost the second and third fight. He didn’t wrestle at all in the third fight and only in the first round in their second fight. One of the best wrestlers in mma and all he wanted to do is strike with stipe. His corner was screaming at him to go for takedowns all throughout the third fight it’s very bizzare
