That's absolutely not true. Bones doesn't cut a lot of weight and usually weighs around 218 come fight time. Conversely, Stipe is 245 minimum come fight time.
All of those things are true, Stipe is as tall as Bones, is stronger than Bones, and has more wrestling credentials than Bones, that does not, however, indicate Stipe is as skilled as Jon Jones. Almost nobody is as skilled as Jon Jones. It remains to be seen if Stipe's skill level is high enough to handle Cormier but all those things about Stipe physically compared to Bones are true.
"In the past, one of Rashad's main advantages over me was that he was more seasoned and a lot more stronger than I was. When I first joined the UFC, I never really cut weight, I came in extremely thin. Walking around at 213, 210. Now I walk around at almost 230 at times. I'm just a lot more mature in my body and physical strength. I think that's gonna be a huge difference for him and he's gonna feel it right away." https://www.mmamania.com/2012/4/20/...145-title-fight-rashad-evans-greg-jackson-mma
Now think.... this article was in 2012. Jones started hitting the weights heavy in what? 2016? I can't imagine how much bigger the guy has gotten over the years not just on weight but in mass. Also, it's clear you have no respect for the different levels of wrestling. Your knowledge is very poor. You think that Stipe is much larger than Jon, and because he weighs 10 pounds more... he has a massive power advantage lol. Jon is an elite MMA grappler and wrestler and has taken down the best of them with ease. Ragdolled Div 1 and olympic wrestlers.... cmon bruh... USE YOUR HEAD
