It's the third fight. Stipe still don't defend the right overhand.

Saved by the bell.

Round breaks are stupid.

DC was out. Had no clue where he was at during the break.

It's impossible to truly discern the best fighter when we have this artifact system from boxing that just doesn't work for mma. Anything different is just unfortunately too radical a departure to be taken seriously, unfortunately.

I think he knew where he was but didn't know if the fight had been stopped or not.

DC got to wrestle.

Hard round to score. 3-1 Stipe or even.

Stipe with the W.

2, 3 and 5 for Stipe pretty clear IMO. 1 for DC and 4 close.

I'm back to picking DC outright.

Smaller cage might have won it for Stipe with his push against the fence.

I think Stipe has it 3 rounds (2, 3, 5). Could be 4 depending on round 4. He should win this, but you never know with judging.

Stipe just clinches and does nothing in those exchanges

Rogan holding on to Cain mythdom with his "Stipe is the best HW on paper" nonsense.

His Graham Hancock podcasts are less nonsensical.

DC's eye are F***ED. The eye poke at the end of the 3rd was nasty.

Cormier is pissed. Probably rightly so.

I dont want to hear DC complaining about eye pokes right now. He destroyed Stipe's eyes in the first 2 fights.

If it's UFC HW, then Stipe is I guess. Someone has to be.

DC’s eye is jacked up. It looks terrible.

Ya I laughed at that.

Anik: Stipe is the greatest HW of all time
Joe: On paper it definitely looks that way

Haha is so high on that Cain being the GOAT HW train for some reason.
