![]() ![]() Many things about Stipe’s game I really do enjoy watching, but there are a few things that make me uneasy, especially in a matchup like this. Stipe is durable but can be hit in which I have seen him put on skates many times. In his three career losses, he has only been finished twice by way of KO - once to Daniel Cormier and once to Stefan Struve in 2012. Since his fight against Werdum for the belt, he has won six of seven with five wins by way of KO. Before that was his five-round decision win against Francis, in which he was able to win that fight handily. His last three fights have been against Daniel Cormier in which he won two of. Stipe will set a pattern for you all the while waiting for the right time to duck under and level change with his Division I caliber wrestling. An extremely polished boxer with good movement and speed, Stipe leans on his ability to enter, throw and make his point, then exit and reposition for the next set of the game. All heavyweights have a dose of power, but not many have the skillsets of someone like Stipe. Stipe is never going to impress you with one-chin checkers very often, but his ability to put a numerical assault on you in all the right spots is what he excels in. With a record of 20-3, Stipe has 15 by way of KO. After three straight wins in devastating fashion to get him back to this point, Ngannou will try to reach for his upgraded game to carry him to the finish line in his quest for UFC gold once and for all. He has had time to re-evaluate, improve and right the ship. ![]() The method is one he leaned on far too many times, and although all it takes is one, it takes more than that against someone like Stipe. Ngannou seemed to have only one plan in mind, which was connecting with bone-chilling power. ![]() In their first go-around, it was quite clear that Stipe was the far better fighter and actually had a method to his madness. The big man from Cameroon has power of abnormal proportions, and the majority of people who get caught flush by him will most likely not be awake to tell the tale about it. He will need to prove it yet again, as he walks into the Octagon with the belt, a win already over his opponent and the underdog stamp on his chest yet again.įrancis Ngannou looks more like something out of Marvel Comics than he does an actual fighter. Widely known as the best heavyweight of all-time in the UFC, Stipe enjoys leading the charge on being the underdog party-crasher. The extremely well-rounded firefighter from Cleveland pays no attention to the masses and continues to win despite who they throw in front of him. The current reigning heavyweight champion has continued to defy the odds his entire career but still hasn’t gotten the full confidence from the public. We talk about undervalued fighters all the time, but there may not be more of a high-profile fighter that is as undervalued as Stipe Miocic.
