@Nicky why would you start a channel where you mispronounce names, wouldnt you want to be different than the other pickers?

If you know Stipe, he likes to block punches with his face usually. First fight, I don't count. Second fight, DC was doing very well for the early rounds and for the most part was winning until one of the best corner/fighter IQ moments when Stipe started digging towards his body.

He would be smart to stay away from DC early, using his boxing similar to how he did against Francis. Do not take damage, and land his jab and straight right. I don't know who to pick in this fight, but I'm kind of leaning towards DC fading again.

This is high level, this is an actual main event, this is a worthy title fight. I'm leaning towards Stipe. I hate picks like this.

I always thought he had great head movement and was great at everything. Really complete fighter. I do agree he has great fight IQ and a ability to adjust and adapt mid fight like few can. Noticed that during one his earlier UFC fights against Shane Del Rosario. He had a few bad exchanges, got inside and took him to the ground to elbow him to death. Similar to Cejudo, Stipe finds a way to win during the fight
