Could DC win the heavyweight belt?

TOAO - Stipe knocks out cormier first round.

ya because DC is so easy to KO, lmfao

I think he would be incredibly competitive.
Based on his HW run he was damn good, people forget how young to the sport he was at that time. Sure at that point the Cain JDS Werdum and Reem were kings and he might have had less of a chance at that point however his skill set as only grown which makes me think he could easily hang or beat them now.

Versus Stipe. It would be damn interesting

If Cains done for a bit, book D.C. Vs Stipe/JDS and have Manuwa vs Gus/Glover for an interim interim title. Then there might be some buzz about D.C. stomping them when he goes back down


I like this idea. Also get Romero vs Rockhold for the interim belt at 185. Make it a blockbuster event.

Stronger faster he would have to get knocked out to lose

DC would pick up Stipe and throw him on his head.

I think JDS would knock him out

Stipe hits harder than cormier has ever faced. And Stipe is a good boxer

Doubt he hits harder than AJ

Nobody hits harder than Rumble

DC has fought Rumble Johnson twice and Bigfoot Nelson once.

Does Stipe hit harder than Roy? It's possible - but I doubt it.

I don't know if he can get past Werdum. That's a bad style match-up for him. Any clinching/takedowns would probably be an advantage for Werdum and he's a more versatile striker. 

I think Cormier beats all other HWs (with the exception of Cain)

Exactly why I dont see the point in a 225 division. Size becomes a detriment at a point.
