He said "I respect the hell out of you!" twice.
Chances are Curits beats this version of Stipe but it sounded like he acknowledged that beating today's Stipe doesn't take away from Stipe's legacy.
I didn't get that impression when Tuivasa called him out or from Ngannou's post fight interviews.
It reminded me of when Khabib called out GSP at UFC 223 but then added in the post fight press conference that in his opinion GSP doesn't need to answer the callout because he has nothing to prove and called him the greatest UFC athlete of all time (at that time).
