when i first checked the card one wiki, the moment i scrolled past the 2 main fights, my first thought was who the fook are these guys

[sooby]

this is actually a poverty card

but hopefully the main and co-main more then makes up for it

[MinisterOfLust]

Stipe pleasw end the hype

And of course I want DC to cry again.

[CorytheKiD]

I honestly don't mind who wins the main event. All I want is for DC to finish Volkan.

Initially I favored Stipe, and I'd still like to see him win for HW history's sake, but as the fight nears this is feeling more and more like the Garbrandt/Cruz situation

People were saying Cody was all hype, unproven, and would get schooled by the more experienced and tested fighter. I just didn't see it; looking at Garbrandt's skill set and the way he trained I was convinced he had that fight

I'm now feeling the same way about Ngannou. I have Stipe getting KO'd brutally in the first. Either way, I'm sure it will be a great fight

War Volkan too.. I like that guy. Also wanna see the hometown kid Kattar, or whatever his name is, win because he looked solid in his early notice debut against Fili

[Hardcore_D00d]

Stipe and DC wins. I'm still rooting for the vets

[Halbrust]

Can't stand Stipe! Not sold on Ngannou yet, but I'm hoping he gets a quick and easy KO.
Been a DC fan since seeing him win the Olympic wrestling trials.

Why cant you stand Stipe? Ive never heard of anyone not liking the guy.

I agree i want to see DC take Volcan for a ride.

What is not to like about Stipe?

rooting for stipe because ngannou is anti-Trump

Can't see Stipe avoiding every punch for 25 minutes. One will catch him and then it's goodnight.

someone is seriously height frauding here

you mean to tell me that they are both 6'4?

Goes both ways, it's a titan's fight.

yup. stipe was noticeably taller than overeem. i think ngannou may be wearing something with a little bit of a boost in his sole.

even though stipe is 20 lbs lighter than ngannou he has a strangely large frame for his size. looked wider than overeem.

Ngannou is 6‘5. Probably even a bit taller, pushing 6’6. I believe he mentioned it in one of the embedded vlogs for UFC 219

when I saw ngannou and stipe face off I was like ho lee chit Ngannou looks way bigger than Stipe.

he does have a large frame, can Stipe wrestle that? He legit looks like he is giving up 15 lbs of solid muscle to Ngannou

the roooomor mill says ngannou can go with the olympic squad (not sure what country) and not get taken down

hope stipe wins, but I think ngannou can negate his wrestling

If Stipe wins it would, imo, be due to him sticking and moving/surviving for 1.5-2 rounds then hoping Ngannou doesn’t last in deep waters

I don’t think wrestling will play a factor at all, honestly. I don’t think Stipe would be able to keep him down plus he’d be in danger of getting a limb grabbed along the way and submitted by force. I also don’t think Stipe would do well in the clinch

Exactly this. Lmao at that fight where he grabbed his opponents arm while he was against the cage and just kamora'd him to the ground ez.

[Hardcore_D00d]

Stipe wins!! Ngannou has staph, look at his chest in the weigh ins.


AND STILLLL!!!!!!

[IIIWolverineIII]

I find it interesting that I was such an Ngannou fan for his last few fights and was not a Stipe fan.

Now for some reason on this fight I'm pumped for Stipe to win. I almost despise myself for being so anti-hype train.

I saw this and after remembering the last Kevin Lee fight, I thought the same thing. Looks smaller than what Lee had going on. Although it's on a significantly larger canvas.

It certainly won't help matters, but it's not impossible to overcome. Look at Luke Rockhold when he fought Chris Weidman. He had a terrible staph infection, and worked Weidman.

I sure hope Stipe wins this one though. I hate hype trains.

But if Francis can win, and win big, I'll give him all the credit in the world. He will have proven himself and I'll get his name tattooed on my ankle.

[Hardcore_D00d]

Oh i think francis deserves every bit of that hype. But stipe is just the better fighter atm, it's his time.

and STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well hes from a chithole, what do you expect?

[Groce]

A pathetic showing from the Red Goof during that press conference, claims that Tony vs Khabib was for the REAL title yet just refusing to answer the simple question of whether Conor is stripped or not, after he was pressed on it multiple times, the one question he knew everyone wanted an answer to instead he acts like a ****ing child and dances around the question. Such a fukn pussy. Sad!

[lorenzofrittata]
