[@rivermoore6179]

Omg stfu , if the ufc can promote who they want and make another mcgregor , they could’ve done that a LONG time ago , they could do that now , the reason , the reason that stipe and dj dont get more recognition is cause they don’t promote them selfs like Conor does .

In any way, what's so bad about fighting for an interim title?! Even as the heavyweight goat. This is complete bullshit.

D1 wrestling + golden gloves champ. What a complete fighter Stipe was, until his age kicked in

[@madgavin7568]

His skill-set made him championship quality for Heavyweight, but he wasn't a complete fighter lets be honest. He was well-rounded in that he had elite striking and wrestling, but there were key elements missing to his game in both areas. Most notably on the feet; kicking, even the shorter and fatter DC was a better kicker than Stipe was, his clinch game was pretty average as well. On the ground, it was submissions as Stipe doesn't have a single submission win in his pro career. If Stipe was versed in submissions, he could have gotten Francis out of there and potentially saved himself taking unnecessary damage even from a gassed Francis (who is still dangerous), which contributed to the KO loss to DC in his next fight. And yes age did eventually catch up to him.

[@GengoSenmon]

That Werdum knockout was even more impressive considering the entire Brazilian home crowd was against him.

[@masterclass299]

People have just forgotten how technical Stipe was as a fighter.

[@krislo4788]

He himself has...he has slowed down...just uses his boxing..the guy can kick and knee like a horse

[@Choom89]

Stipe is the man, he could have easily cut down to 205 and fought men smaller than himself like some people but he's not a coward. Reigned over the most dangerous division with 50+ pounds of variation (most divisions only deal with 20lbs or less) he has nothing left to prove after breaking the most title defenses at HW.

[@jpr3680]

It’s an interesting balance for heavyweights, because at that size you’re giving up speed with those additional pounds. When both guys have fight ending power already, the speed can become the deciding factor. That’s what he was going for vs DC especially. The disadvantage showed the most in his second ngannou fight when he couldn’t get the wresting going

[@user-vi4ty7dq8r]

Exactly. Stipe is real man not woman like Light Heavyweight Jones 6’4 | 238 lbs out of combat | 84 reach or Pereira
