its fine to not be a fan but to say hes a bum is different.
whether he "ducked" stipe or not is irrelevant to his skill set as a fighter. he was literally undefeated in MMA until fighting against jones, who often, tests positive for roids which even caused their second bout to be a N/C.
dethroned the longest reigning HW in the UFC. was winning the 2nd fight convincingly as well but just couldnt do anything about the constant liver shots from stipe. dont see how he is a "bum"
Picking and choosing your opposition rather than facing the top contender = bum , at least to me. Feel like Cejudo is a bum (and gifted a judges decision over DJ) as well, but different topic for a different day.
Also, convincingly?! Maybe I’ll have to rewatch it, but I wasn’t convinced of shit, and I’m pretty sure I had Stipe winning the first fight (until ofc he wasn’t..) - Of course it takes skills to get the the level DC is at, but that doesn’t make him any less of a bum.
