Nice....I said in the other thread I thought it was a possibility after the fights last week, even before Dana mentioned it.

It just made complete sense. No one else in either division for each of them to fight that would draw as well as this.

I think they want DJ/TJ on that card too. So it would be 2 cross-division title fights.

Besides DJ / TJ ... good chance we get Cyborg / Nunes too

IF so this card will be dynamite

Miocic wins. No doubt. Too much natural size, height, reach and power. DC is a natural middleweight.

His height and reach are all that of a middleweight. Huge reach disadvantage. His weight is all fat. Cut out the extra weight which is fat that he doesn't need and he would be a middleweight. He beat old, slow bums with average striking and defense at heavyweight. That is no knock on him. Can't expect someone that size to beat elite heavyweights. You could make the case that if they both were exactly the same size maybe DC is better. MAYBE. But with little difference is skill...the bigger guy gets the win. And it is not like he is smaller and has much better footwork, movement and speed. If that was the case maybe he can find a way to outstrike stipe. It is not. Being the smaller heavyweight is often an advantage because of better cardio.... speed and footwork...in this case he doesn't have the edge there...or at size.....weight....reach.

DC is the man...takes on all fighters HW and LHW (unlike the scared Jones). DC is a natural HW who fought many times in HW, till he dropped to LHW. Better athlete is DC and power I would same same. Stipe had 4 full rounds of dead weight and could not finish Francis, that tells me something for future fights.

You are another reason I don't post over here anymore ... Clown Show

You are the clown show. I post reasons and all you got is "clown show" Who needs people like you with no substance to post here anyway. I gave my opinion. You sound like idiot liberals who call people names when they disagree and can't give actual reasons

Don't care what Cormiers weight is. He IS NOT a natural heavyweight . Even he says so. I like him. Pound for pound one of the best. I'm not saying he can't win. He is that good. I just don't see it. Put it this way. If they fought 100 times Miocic wins more than he loses.

DC doesn't have close to the power Stipe does, what are you babbling about?

Stipe has KO victories over some of the best heavyweights in the world, I couldn't even recall DC KOing anyone in the top 10 ever. It just wouldn't happen.

DC's edge in this fight is not standing, he is gonna have to take Stipe down.

MM are you betting anything tonight.

Jacare has moved from -165 to -110 in the matter of days.

I’m on Brunson. I think he stays composed,is quick enough to elude Jacare,and catches him coming in for the KO finish. I’m pretty confident in this outcome,but am keeping my wagers on the light side...

He beat fighters who are at their end of the road, so nothing special..
Hunt, AA, Reem, JDS, and Fab

Funny...He’s older than JDS,and within a few years of the others. Stipe is older for a fighter as well. As always,your substance and reasoning is rather lacking,but carry on though...
