ANY STIPE fans???

IMO THE UFC is FKD... When Dos Santos was champ he was GOAT unstoppable on tv all the time...Cain was the "baddest man alive" etc... Stipe has taken out EVRYONE and most people even UFC followers dont even know who he IS!!! Jon Jones was juicing fighting guys Off gear band Dana white got him tv commercials and put the spotlight on him every fricken day... But STIPE? He doesnt get SHIT... I know the bigger mouth guys get more attention but Anderson Silva didnt talk much and didnt even talk English and he was WORlD famous!!! So now Stipe is facing this bick NAGGOU dude or whatever you spell it and the guys gotten more attention in the lead up than Stipe has his whole carrer... Samething with Chris WEIDMAN... He was undefeated and beat Silva twice but UFC didnt promote him for shit...Granted he lost then seemed to lose every fight there after but It's just unfair how some of these guys can clean a division and get no money no endorsment deals and someone lese can wil 3 fights and the UFC has them as the next Mike Tyson of MMA... i hope to GOD STIPE KO's this dude but I betb if he does you wont barley hear about it... If this other dude Ko's STIPE , Stipe will go back in rankings like 5 spots and the KO from other dude will be a UFC highlight... IDK what it is but UFC seems to love certain people regardless of whetehrthey are "entertainers " aka shit talkers or not

Definitely a major stipe fan. He reminds me of Rocky Marciano in the way that he's not flashy, humble and durable with good skills but not exceptional. Unfortunately I think Francis is gonna overwhelm him early and get the KO in the first round. If you go over stipe's fights he's willing to take one to get one. With a guy like Francis you can't be willing to take one,
his power is undeniably more than the heavyweight division has seen in the ufc. Coupled with unreal speed he becomes the perfect storm. If you watch the JDS fight when he put stipe down, there wasn't much of anything on the punch that did it. Then JDS didn't capitalize on it. When Francis lands he will capitalize.

I would love to see stipe knock the shit out of Ngonnau but I don't see it happening.

Francis wins inside 3 minutes of the first round.

I met him last summer through a friend of mine and he’s a beast!! And a really cool guy, really down to earth. I hope he puts a WOOPIN on this dude!! I hear he’s a bad dude tho!

Stipe is a bad man! I got to meet him 2 years ago in Vegas and the dude has a HUGE head. He's a lot bigger in person than he looks on TV. He has the advantage everywhere with the exception of Ngannou being the world's hardest puncher. He shattered the world record for hardest punch, and that's what Stipe has to look out for. Dude made Overeem's head look like a bobblehead, no joke!

Yep, big Stipe fan. And I agree, he doesn't get much love but I don't think it really bothers him. I follow him on Twitter and especially been having a blast traveling with his entourage.
I'm definitely pulling for him in next fight, too.

yes but dont forget he throws a concrete sledge and misses it only takes one little chink int his armor for STIPE to put him out and if he gets put down he may not have a ground game...IDK cause I honestly havent looked him uo besides the heavy punch measured on a machine but Stipe could choose to take it to ground if hes rocked...But Im betting STIPE will standup and fight his heart out for his fans ... Whatever happens if Stipe takes this beast doiwn I hope THE UFC finally gives him respect he deserves

That Francis is something different in the heavyweight division. His speed and precision are two things that get overlooked by his power. If you watch the reem ko he meant that punch it wasn't just a wild shot with some luck. Stipe is too mechanical. He's gonna get hurt in this fight.

I'm a huge stipe fan. I'm not a fan of Francis. Just been into fights since the 80's and I have to call it the way I see it.

Im hoping Stipe pulls a FEDOR/BRETT ROGERS.. the "old" white foreign guy vs the young strong super beast with hands of steel and Rogers steps in to ring 2 sec later hes out cold and Fedor's like ok back to Russia to train and hang out with wife n kids lol... Who knows... i respect bith fighters but I feel Stipe has gotten put into the the category of ok hes good but UFC has a shitty heac=vyweight division... Yet DOS SANTOS was considered the GOAT for a very short time till CAIN then CAIN was like SUPERMAN... STIPE clean Dos SANTOS up and hasnt had half the attention of either... Again I think If STipe wins NAGGou will be looked at as nothing but UFC hype to make heavies look exciting and the real fact is he's a beast but if STIPE wins its more proof he deserves the respect guys like JON JONES and others used to get maybe more so cause the guy works and so far hasnt gotten busted for PED's or anything...great role model for martial arts and kids showing HRAD work and a positive mindset make the champion lot shit talking and being a thug
