Stipe looked really good tonight, ate everything Francis threw at him and just grapplefucked him to death.
I guess that was the big question about the whole fight, could Stipe weather the storm?
We all knew he was a more well rounded MMA fighter, we just weren't sure if he could withstand the kind of onslaught that Francis was capable of dishing out.
I was expecting a little more striking, but I'm not terribly surprised it went the way it did.
He made Francis friggin' tired, after the first two, he looked like his arms were made of lead.
