"I'm the greatest LHW of ALL TIME!!!!! But seriously, I better get out of here before JBJ comes back."
my guess is that viewership is down (i havent watched in a couple seasons. or maybe dozens. i dunno). but ill probably watch this one because of those two...
OMG worse than I rememberedyeah when u mentioned strikeforce, i immediately pictured daniel tossing barnet like a lil boy
run from DC get sniped
Jones couldn't take down the swede
Dc made it look fun
I'll believe it when I see it. The history of TUF coach fights have too much of a high injury rate.
I think if he wins he retires. I think the Cain factor is a big part of the reason he will retire. Going to be a hell of a fight
I can't believe that in 2018, TUF is being presented to fans, via the media, as some newsworthy promotional opportunity for Stipe and DC. Not even Conor McGregor was able to boost viewership on that sinking ship. How many new YouTube series ideas have WME/UFC come up with for Dana in the past year or two, but when it comes to their athletes, it's still TUF on basic cable.
That said, I'm intrigued by the match-up. Stipe's bigger (taller) and he hits harder, although he's probably not the hardest puncher DC has faced. If DC has Cain in his camp, then that's going to be a big factor heading into the fight. Miocic will probably be the favorite, as he should, but I expect this to be much more competitive than the Ngannou fight turned out to be.

Stipe's right hand is going to find a home on DC's chin, over and over, til the fight's done. I doubt I'll watch a second of TUF but I can't wait to see the fight
This fight I'm actually interested in, this is a real "Super FIght".
screenname bet, I've got Stipe? I'm guessing Stipe will be a 2 to 1 favorite, so I'll do a 2 month stretch to your one month, or more depending on what the opening odds are
lol, No thanks.
I like Stipe he's proven me wrong over and over again -- straight up fighter with big heart, I'll be rooting for him. D.C has destroyed some of the top dogs in MMA through out his career, only Juicy Jones on the Juice was able to destroy D.C...can Stipe take out Daniel?
I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this one, very interested in seeing how Stipe will handle D.C's wrestling and if Stipe will be able to K.O Daniel.
I haven't watched a Tuf since Kimbo
and that is the only season I watched clean thru
that show is so forced and wack, I just don't enjoy it
just my opinion though
these are 2 of my favorites, too. I do think Stipe will take DC out, more due to DC's abilities eroding due to age than what would've happened if today's Stipe fought the DC from 5 years ago. I would've loved to see the current Stipe vs. DC from a 5 years ago & I would've been hardpressed to pick a favorite. It'll be a lot of fun anyway, I can't wait to see it
I don't like this fight, sizewise, for DC. He hasn't been a hw for a long time, so even when he gains weight for the fight he won't be the same powerful hw he was. That mass isn't coming back in the time period between now and the fight.
It's a solid opinion.
I can't remember the last one I watched. It needs a major overhaul.
Holy shit. I think that win or lose, this is huge for DC. He's going to get major promotion and respect from fans & peers for stepping to fight this monster, regardless if he loses. And if he were to win...holy shit.
Not to mention, he is about to get paid in motherfucking full.

I wonder if Dana's bias for Cormier will be evident in the promotion? Would be interesting to see the possible lingering ill will between Stipe and Dana, especially if Miocic wins.
