The example of what an MMA champion should be. Always exciting fights, respects the sport and his opponents, and an outstanding member of his community. Shame the UFC didnt promote guys like Stipe and DJ. Actual role models.
Omg stfu , if the ufc can promote who they want and make another mcgregor , they could’ve done that a LONG time ago , they could do that now , the reason , the reason that stipe and dj dont get more recognition is cause they don’t promote them selfs like Conor does .
A true champion of the sport wouldn't wait 2½ years before attending a rematch for the heavyweight title and slow down the division just to refuse to fight the back-up fighter.
@@LeviHasashi Dana didn't offer him the fight. Straight from Dana, "Complete disrespect to ask him to foght for an intern title." Stipe didn't get the offer. Are you dense?
@@civilwarwasaninsidejob7405 Oh, he definitely did. And it'd never have to be for the interim title, if he didn't pull out against Pavlovich after Jones' injury. What's the point of having a backup, when no would fight him anyway..?! That's what Jones said too. He 'isn't interested' in smaller names... In any way, what's so bad about fighting for an interim title?! Even as the heavyweight goat. This is complete bullshit. He could've come back for a rematch at any time, but it somehow it took him over two years to do so...
“Midfight” lol it was near the end of the fourth. It took that long to make the adjustments to target the body? Even knowing it was a weakness from previous bouts?
Stipe is easily my favorite all time fighter. Heart, toughness, grit, skill, precision, cardio, relentlessness, fight iq, being a real normal dude, etc. He's a hard fighter not to like. I like Jones, but I hope Stipe gets his belt back.
He’s pretty dislikable acts like he deserves a title shot even tho he got knocked the fuck out by Francis in their second fight and dc in their first fight acts likes he’s too high and mighty to talk trash don’t get me started on that face he always does acting like he’s too good for everybody and everything. Fuck stipe.
Stipe is my favorite UFC fighter no doubt. I don't give a shit if the company promotes him or not That's an example of what a man should be, as far as we know. Strong, responsible, capable. Not afraid to be quiet. With a sense of humor
I agree. He’s marketable to guys like us who appreciate “real” men, not just loudmouth attention whores. Unfortunately we are in the minority so I understand why he wasn’t pushed hard
Thank you for respecting the legacy of the greatest Heavyweight in UFC history. You gave that glorious man the spotlight the UFC would never bother with
I really think the UFC with their Vegas flash and bravado, made a REALLY stupid mistake not understanding the opportunity to promote him. They seem not to understand how to promote someone who isn't a loud, bad boy type. He would have been a tremendous ambassador for the UFC brand but they instead chose to ignore him. No surprise most of their hyped champions flame out, or end up in jail, they don't know a good thing when they see it.
I remember how he bravely faced the knockout nightmare of Ngannou when everyone thought he was going to possibly lose his life. I was scared for him...his health and quality of life. But Stipe wasn't. He took the fight, trained for it, walked the walk-out, and fought the most heavily hyped MMA knockout monster and won.
Stipe Miocic is The Greatest of all times UFC MMA Heavy Wheight Champions and a honored comunity member as a Fireman. His first defeat against Cormier was debt DC's shamefull "eye-pokes" he delivered vicious and dirtfully with none referee punishing. It was shamefull for DC capitalizing with this kihd of creatina and post fight posing as a good guy. Stipe Miocici, at the second fight, showed him how to win honest and truthfully. His legacy is admirable!
I think "Kamaru Usman certainly didn't sit on his lead against Leon Edwards" as Izzy trips against Alex is a good one too. It almost felt like Izzy's destiny was to lose that night.
His skill-set made him championship quality for Heavyweight, but he wasn't a complete fighter lets be honest. He was well-rounded in that he had elite striking and wrestling, but there were key elements missing to his game in both areas. Most notably on the feet; kicking, even the shorter and fatter DC was a better kicker than Stipe was, his clinch game was pretty average as well. On the ground, it was submissions as Stipe doesn't have a single submission win in his pro career. If Stipe was versed in submissions, he could have gotten Francis out of there and potentially saved himself taking unnecessary damage even from a gassed Francis (who is still dangerous), which contributed to the KO loss to DC in his next fight. And yes age did eventually catch up to him.
Awesome video and I've never thought Stipe had good power but you pointed out how he doesn't really load up on those short fast hooks and uppercuts and still can one punch KO people.. Impressive and so far the GOAT of UFC HW.
28:39 By Cormier's hand fighting do you mean repeated deliberate pokes to Stipe's eyes? Poked in the eye so badly he needed multiple retinal surgeries...some "hand fighting". DC is a proven cheater, people have short memories.
Stipe is the man, he could have easily cut down to 205 and fought men smaller than himself like some people but he's not a coward. Reigned over the most dangerous division with 50+ pounds of variation (most divisions only deal with 20lbs or less) he has nothing left to prove after breaking the most title defenses at HW.
It’s an interesting balance for heavyweights, because at that size you’re giving up speed with those additional pounds. When both guys have fight ending power already, the speed can become the deciding factor. That’s what he was going for vs DC especially. The disadvantage showed the most in his second ngannou fight when he couldn’t get the wresting going
@@FightXScience-wh6kx He absolutely could, anyone with eyes can see he often weighs in at 235ish. Fighters cut 20-30 pounds routinely, he'd barely have to change his camp.
Greatest HW champ! But dam, when you review his first fight with Francis Ngannou, you’ll notice that Francis has an iron chin. So it’s no surprise he ate Tyson Fury’s illegal elbow and kept moving forward.
@@lukaskuipers7791 Nelson and Hunt got dropped and KO'd at various points of their careers. Ngannou never even got stunned let alone dropped at any point in his career. Ngannou has the strongest chin ever.
@@madgavin7568 what I'm saying is hunt and nelsons chins have absorbed so much more punishment before they ever got cracked than ngannou has up until this point. It's hard to tell how strong your chin is if you knock everyone out on the 1st round
For such a small country we sure do have a LOT of elite athletes. Janica and Ivica Kostelić in skiing, Mate Parlov in boxing, Luka Modrić, Darijo Srna, Ivan Rakitić, Zvono Boban and others in football, Ivano Balić in handball, Toni Kukoč and Dražen Petrović in basketball, Goran Ivanišević in tennis, Blanka Vlašić and Sandra Perković in athletics, the Sinković brothers in rowing, Dubravko Šimenc in vaterpolo and of course Cro Cop, Roberto Soldić and Miočić in MMA. The list goes on but for me Miočić sits atop the very peak. Not Cro Cop levels of insanity but not far behind. Great dude, great champion and stand out linguist. Kidding aside, great video as always!
If you aren't so familiar with the cultural peculiarities associated with American accents, then let me tell you that Stipe's rust-belt accent makes him so much more down-to-earth and funny.
man, he wasnt the greatest in almost any aspect of the game, but he was really good, or at least good enough in every aspect. Just saw recently, he added another tattoo with croatian motives. Stipe, my man. Dalmatian power.
This is why I believe he’s a massive threat to Jon, unless bones 🦴 finds away how keep him at kicking range and probably stomp the ligaments out of his knee joints and providing he can get it to the ground but what happens if he can’t take stipe down? Jon’s boxing is the weakest part of his enormous skill set if stipe can force Jon to box with him miocic wins hands down, similar although a lot different at the same time to adesanya Strickland
Stipe in his prime is the only man to completely dominate Ngannou. That was so impressive. Ngannou effortlessly flatlined everyone, until Stipe. Stipe unfortunately is older now and didn’t look nearly as good as in the second fight with Ngannou bough, he’s older now and I think he’s kind of starting to check out. I hope we can see him in his prime again though.
Stipe Miocic has amazing boxing. What does JBJ have. Decent boxing mixed with amazing elbows. We just need Stipe to get some elbows in with them short arms 😂
When watching stipe fight i almost feel like hes the boxer robot from real steel movie, always able to adapt on the move, doesnt really pressure but never backs down. Stipe will always be one of my all time favorites
My buddy trained with him, and we went and saw a lot of his pro fights downtown before he was in the ufc and i remember one of the announcers early on saying mark my words you are looking at a future ufc heavyweight champion... And boy was he right
101 % true...Stipe the King of octagon !!! Jon Jones fight becomes totally irrelevant for anybody status after canceled again Stipe was there and ready !!
Stipe,considering his success is definitely the 🐐 of at least the heavyweight category,hands down!Underdog champ+he defended his belt for 3-4 time.No one EVER has done that!!And probably no one will ever manage to do that after Stipe.I'm so proud that we share the same/ Croatian origin 🇭🇷 🇺🇸 RESPECT FOR THE 🐐
Big up for one of the greatest Francis Ngannou daaaam how he improved in this last fight against our American croatian is shocking,much respect to Cameroon Power
Great boxing, great grappling, great wrestling, great speed and accuracy.. everybody allways lose his mind thinking about chain ko artist or wrestling abusers, but the goats are allways complete and versatile fighters. But thats a bit strange that you didnt talked about the double thumb eye poke that leaded struve to the finish..
Stipe has SO many haters. Just at the comments, every comment praising him has some little dildo replying to it talking crazy shit about him. I guess they just can't handle the fact that the greatest heavyweight mixed martial artist of all time was white, was American, was Catholic, and was a stand up blue-collar man.
IMO stipe is the best heavyweight in the history of the ufc taking into consideration the history and the willingness to fight and face way bigger fighters without complaining
So how are we meant to pronounce 'Miocic'? Several different versions throughout his storied career. He's mint and as it stands, the greatest heavyweight. Although, I think Aspinall will take that mantle eventually.
What a Great video of Stipe Miočić carrier,many respect to maker and ofcuz to lot of Croatians baddest man on planet or how i want his nickname knight or croatian rock,love you Stipe God knows im so proud of all what you did,fighting Like a our soldier,be good normal humble funny man,firefighter and wonderfull familly man.....We love our Stipe🇭🇷♥️💪👊🍻🥊
The embodiment of strong Ancient Croation Genes, Stipe falls in line with a long list of Croatian men and women who changed the world, Tesla, Belechek, Soldo, Djokjovic, Cro Cop, to name a few. A small country that has produced some of the most spiritual, intelectual, athletic, vicious fighters, that are the most caring, giving, and trustworthy people to back what they do with the greatest humility. Certainly a race of people that should be better understood and certainly emulated
That match v Francis was awsome. I remember just being on the edge of my seat. It was like a man v a grizzly bear and Stipe tamed him. Francis has a friggin chin, guy took some big shots that likely would take out the average HW.
Damn I remember his Debut and I remember thinking he was a serious Problem for the HW division lol I totally forgot about watching this fight Live (on TV lol not In Person) back in the day, thats wild. I forgot what he did to Mark Hunt, too. Damn man, I miss Stipe being super active he was a beast. Idk if he has it left to handle Aspinal, cuz he moves like Stipe in his prime, and has that in common with him too, the speed and Power/Precision.
Miocic's 2nd fight with Francis was a miscalcuation, I remember he came in way too lean/light for the fight thinking he'd win against with speed but Francis had just improved so much with his Takedown defense and well his nucelar bombs on both hands proved that it was too much... but man what a run he had
We need to erect a statue in his honor in Cleveland for finally breaking the "Cleveland Curse" (Cavs won NBA championship, Indians made it to the world series, and of course the Browns went 0-16 but they're not cursed they're just the Browns)
Man it’s like Dana, only likes characters or champions that talk shit , he’s always been overlooked, the ufc should have promoted him way more he broke the record. & he had to fight for a rematch against DC , And the way he adjusted mid fight with those body shots was a thing of beauty only a champ could do, hard working guy , lord knows how many lives he saved and fires he went into guys not afraid to fight he wanted jones 4 years ago jones just wanted him to get old before they fight witch will probably never happen

That match v Francis was awsome. I remember just being on the edge of my seat. It was like a man v a grizzly bear and Stipe tamed him. Francis has a friggin chin, guy took some big shots that likely would take out the average HW.
the real 🐐
Damn I remember his Debut and I remember thinking he was a serious Problem for the HW division lol I totally forgot about watching this fight Live (on TV lol not In Person) back in the day, thats wild. I forgot what he did to Mark Hunt, too. Damn man, I miss Stipe being super active he was a beast. Idk if he has it left to handle Aspinal, cuz he moves like Stipe in his prime, and has that in common with him too, the speed and Power/Precision.
How hell Roy eat all them shots
*Stipe Miocic is the heavyweight goat.* Stipe’s record: 2x Cormier, Ngannou, Overeem, Werdum, 2x Junior Dos Santos, Arlovski, Hunt, Nelson, Gonzaga, etc.
if jon jones can make 3 title defense in hw he is no doubt goat above all ufc fighter far above anderson, kabib and gsp
The Best ever ❤🇭🇷❤️
Miocic's 2nd fight with Francis was a miscalcuation, I remember he came in way too lean/light for the fight thinking he'd win against with speed but Francis had just improved so much with his Takedown defense and well his nucelar bombs on both hands proved that it was too much... but man what a run he had
One and onle #1champ Stipe Miocic absolut the BEST
Too bad we dont get to see Stipe beat the brakes off Jones.
We need to erect a statue in his honor in Cleveland for finally breaking the "Cleveland Curse" (Cavs won NBA championship, Indians made it to the world series, and of course the Browns went 0-16 but they're not cursed they're just the Browns)
I sure hope Stipe fights again
King , good honest man who is soo normal and unbelievable dengerous. Ajmoooo Stipee , riješi Jonsa. Lijep pozdrav
very nice doc made about a very amazing fighter. thanks
Lost the belt and won it back, at Heavyweight. Defended the belt 3 consecutive times.
🗣️BORN IN EUCLAND, OHIO. STIPE MYOSIC 🗣️
It's a crime that we never got to see Stipe vs Cain
Man it’s like Dana, only likes characters or champions that talk shit , he’s always been overlooked, the ufc should have promoted him way more he broke the record. & he had to fight for a rematch against DC , And the way he adjusted mid fight with those body shots was a thing of beauty only a champ could do, hard working guy , lord knows how many lives he saved and fires he went into guys not afraid to fight he wanted jones 4 years ago jones just wanted him to get old before they fight witch will probably never happen
I’m here for the dancing 😎
Stefan Struve looks like a CGI fighter
Francis Ngannou
Is the man he can't beat .
