Cormier has the skill set to do it. I've grown to respect him. Still like Jon Jones better though.

DC and Stipe like each other but they gotta try to sell this fight, because they are going to be opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter. It will be interesting to see if there is much trash talking.

Should be a good one. I’ll definitely tune in.

Gotta give the edge to Stipe though.

Now in a Jon Jones vs. Stipe matchup??

I agree Cormier is my favorite guy i think the reason they are booking this fight is because they are not sure when anal jones will be back and taco Cain as well

it will look bad if DC wins for many reasons he's not a heavy weight and is fat lol i think stipe will win but he hasn't really fought great grapplers.

Stipe will win..
This would make a great super fight..
Stipe vs. Cain.
If Cain can stay healthy.

This will be a good fight. Advantage Stipe.

DC is a heavyweight. He fought many times as a heavyweight. He beat Josh Barnett, Frank Mir, and Bigfoot... And others.

Why do you think he struggles to make 205LB at the weigh-ins??

Royalty · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2018, 11:46:37 AM »

DC KO’d 265LB Bigfoot

Yet another example of throwing rankings completely out the window. Why even bother when people get fights on the basis of trash-talk instead of skills, and can jump weight-classes without ever having to fight in them before getting a title shot. The UFC is dead.

Besides Cain, who else is there for Stipe to fight?

He has already defended the strap 3 times.

I agree the fight isn't a blockbuster 10 out of 10 Mega Fight but I think it could be solid, especially given the current state of the Heavyweight division.

i dont see a problem with 2 title holders fighting eachother.

Just another belt for Stipe

Brock lesnar is still out that maruiz the worlds stongest man guy has been racking up wins right and left there is still people out there trust me. Emelnenikos brother to but he's just got out of prison for rape. I suspect khabibs camp supposedly has a lot of top level fighter getting ready to come over to the claim they will take the whole UFC over. They claim they have a lot of fighters as good as khabib
