you know Anthony Johnson or even Volkan hit harder than most of heavyweight right? AJ TKO Gus in round 1, KO Glover in round 1, KO Jimi Manuwa, KO Bader in round 1 and also Volkan KO Minuwa in round 1, KO Misha in round 1 too, i dont think any HW can do what AJ have done.cormier was getting touched tonight in the first, i don't trust him against a heavyweight with hands. Lots of heavyweights can give Daniel trouble.
Man Stipe is a bigger, stronger, better striker and better wrestler than both Gus and rumble. He definitely hits harder than Gus and I would think he hits harder than rumble too.you know Anthony Johnson or even Volkan hit harder than most of heavyweight right?

You cant win against DC if all you got is KO power and average wrestling skill.
People doubt DC's chin in AJ fight, Gus fight and Volkan fight and now they are gonna keep doubting his chin, the only thing that can knock DC out is a juice chicken leg which i dont see any HW fighters have.
Popeyespic.jpegInteresting thought.
If Cormier could build his HW form back, it would be very possible.
Bold 1: WTF are you talking about, Jones Juiced is absolutely a great striker,he dominated many great striker stand up on his feet, plus Jon Juiced has longer reach than Stipe, his leg reach is also much longer than Stipe too.Man Stipe is a bigger, stronger, better striker and better wrestler than both Gus and rumble.

Stipe could keep D.C. on the outside which even jones could do and Jones is not a great striker. Plus even if D.C. forced a clinch Stipe isn't going to be dominated on the ground. There's no evidence he can be beaten on the ground by anybody to be honest. Think about how strong he must be to do what he did tonight, there was zero chance of him losing the grappling battle.
Jones not a great striker, he's had trouble with anybody he was forced to strike with. And again, none of the guys he's fought are as good of strikers as Stipe. He has a different skill level standing upBold 1: WTF are you talking about, Jones Juiced is absolutely a great striker,he dominated many great striker stand up on his feet, plus Jon Juiced has longer reach than Stipe, his leg reach is also much longer than Stipe too.
Bold 1: Because no one even try to take him down plus HW doesn't have any great wrestler except Cain.
Bold 2: Like i said before, DC would do much better against Ngannou and probably finish him in round 3, Stipe couln't even finish a completely gassed out Ngannou.
Yes ,none of the guys he's fought are as good of strikers as Stipe, probably 70-80% but striking is not the only thing in MMA and Stipe just proved it in his fight against Ngannou.Jones not a great striker, he's had trouble with anybody he was forced to strike with. And again, none of the guys he's fought are as good of strikers as Stipe. He has a different skill level standing up
But tbh I don't expect cormier or jones to ever fight Stipe
Gauging how well Cormier would have done against Miocic or Ngannou based on how he did against Volkan is absurd. There is no sensible comparison to be had here.
Who's "we"? Are you the TS a couple or something? Seems like it might be gay...But we're not, he has a vast history of beating elite competition at both LHW & HW. I think he loses at HW to guys like Francis, Overeem, maybe Brock or Cain but he matches up well with Stipe I think.

at least DC has killer instinct when he takes a fighter down unlike stipe

Short notice fight against a specialist at stalling and preventing position advances on the ground.Have you seen DC vs Anderson Silva?
Like he did against Anderson?And probably finished both of them .. ..

seriously DCand JJ are the best two fighter in HW division and they aren’t even IN the heavyweight division lololol
