I don't know much about Soa but he did lose to Eddie Sanchez so I would probably be going with Miocic in this one!

Tough first fight back for Soa .. I need to pick Stipe. Soa hasn't had a huge challenge, at all recently. His last 2 wins were McCorkle and ... Sapp. Soa is good but not a good welcome back.

Nice matchup. I looked at Soa's wikipedia page last night and it said he's a BJJ BB. Does anyone know if that's true or not? I wouldn't have guessed he was. Regardless, I'll probably pick Stipe by TKO.

Easy first round KO for  Miocic or maybe Palelei taps to strikes again.

Stipe is my favorite active HW, his standup is so fun to watch. He really digs into the body when he throws body punches.

Soa wont do any good against any HW with good wrestling. He either gets a quick KO or gets dominated.

I got Stipe.

Soa has been on good winning streak for a while but Stipe should win via TKO. Soa will want to do significantly better than he did in his fight with Eddie Sanchez, one of the worst fights I've ever had this misfortune to watch.

Soa has a punchers chance but Stipe shouldn't have any trouble dominating this fight.

Despite the loss to Struve, i still think Miocic is one to watch.

Agreed with Krull, Stipe is still a contender in that division and should dominate.

Soa does have power though so it'll be interesting if he can crack Stipe's decent chin.
