That low agaisnt mir eh?


Doesnt make much a difference in the end, but now I'm even more curious to see what both guys weigh in at. I'm sticking to my thought of DC coming in heavy though


that was actually the Nelson fight, oops

he weighed 235 for Mir

That makes a little more sense, I could see why coming in a bit lighter agaisnt Nelson may not have been a bad idea, wouldn't need as much a compensating weight advantage for the grappling and would rather trade a little speed

Im going with stipe.
Stipe has a large height advantage and I think he is the better striker.

Not sure this fight is going to live up to the "super fight" hype as I expect both of these guys to be playing chess in there

Id honestly be surprised if DC doesn't try to push the pace, to get in range. both of these fighters are aggressive in pushing the pace, I could be wrong because anything can happen but I have a feeling this will not be a chess match.

I can see your point of view. I think DC is going to be cautious. The whole getting ko'd by JBJ is likely still playing in the back of his mind.

Idk, time will tell but its an interesting fight. Could go either way

only reason this fight is even a question is because cormier just got badly tkod. if that wasn't a factor he would be clear favorite

cormier has to starve himself and cut a ton of water weight to make 205. he has said he weighs 225 fight night at lhw. he is easily going to weigh around 240 for this fight. ^

Stipe will be the bigger guy.

Let's not forget, Cormier was tossing heavyweights around before he even went to LHW. His rise of obscurity to winning the Strike Force HW GP was a thing of beauty.

They will both be fighting at their normal weight, Cormier will look a bit fatter, Stipe will look like Stipe. It is an interesting match-up and I can't wait to see it!
