He is one win away from matching the record and it is a win a believe he will get. He has more tools and less miles than JDS. He has improved and JDS has declined. After Stipe beats JDS who would step up that could keep him away from the record? I say Cain would be his toughest matchup but he has been inactive and doesn't seem eager to compete. The only logical number one contender after the JDS fight would be the winner of Overeem vs Werdum, Stipe finished them both in the first round. You guy's should be more appreciative of the greatness you are witnessing Stipe will be the GOAT.
I expect JDS to beat him from pillar to post, start to finish.
Shutout.
Jds is going to ko stipe he is to good
CRE - I expect JDS to beat him from pillar to post, start to finish.What has happened since their first bout that makes you feel this way?
Shutout.
He better hope he doesn't fight Ngannou next.
Easy_r - Jds is going to ko stipe he is to goodLol...
Easy_r - Jds is going to ko stipe he is to goodI think JDS is amazing and I'm a huge fan of his, but i don't see how you could favor him over Stipe.
Brabatross - He better hope he doesn't fight Ngannou next.Francis don't want those problems.
This is going to be competitive, but not close. If that makes sense.
Stipe lost the first fight to a Dos Santos that was coming off being finished by Cain Velasquez.
Miocic took the belt off Werdum, JDS made the ears wiggle.
Stipe TKO'd Hunt violently, but JDS finished Hunt spectacularly with spinning shit.
JDS is the best Heavyweight in the world right now and showed that against Ben Rothwell, Cain is the X-factor, as is Daniel Cormier and a 209 lbs. Luke Rockhold.
We'd be worried for Stipe in there with Rockhold. The technician, the arrogance, the speed. It'd be a quick one to the body, kick. 2:24 round 1. New HW Champion Luke Rockhold
Well the CRE curse has been issued against JDS so the good money just moved to Stipe.

Panicked cries of "SHOOT STIPE!! SHOOT!!!!!" echo the arena.
Precision beats power, timing beats speed.

Daniel Cormier - Highlights HD from Pierre St-George on Vimeo.
CRE - This is going to be competitive, but not close. If that makes sense.So JDS proved to be the greatest HW by beating Big Ben by decision in his only win since 2014. What does that say about Stipe? He's won four straight and finished them all, 3 of 4 in the first round. The list of names he's finished in his last four fights shits all over Ben Askren and Ben Rothwell's records.

Yep. People keep making the mistake of underestimating this guy. Anything can happen at hw but he should be a favorite against anyone.

Cormier is an Olympic athlete. The glaring difference in speed and transitional technique from striking to grappling can't be replicated until this fight happens.
8 inches of reach vs. at least 8 more years of competitive experience
DC would coach Stipe start to finish. Too many options and adaptations to each situation.
Roughly 13 minutes is the typical breaking point against an Olympian for a top tier MMA fighter. That's why Yoel Romero has 5! third round finishes in the UFC.
CRE -DC would not remain conscious for 13 minutes against Stipe. DC has a great chin but the power and accuracy of Stipe would prove to be too much for him IMO.thetouchofdeath -CRE -Maybe if he brought Cain in the octagon with him.failure at life -CRE - This is going to be competitive, but not close.
