DC got disrespected a lot throughout his career by fans, especially throughout the Jones stuff. It's ironic that Stipe, arguably the most disrespected fighter in the UFC based on promotion alone, was the guy to take him out. I don't think either of these guys are/were appreciated enough.
The UFC seemingly struggles with promoting the HW division. They sort of tried to bill Ngannou as the scariest man on the planet but then cucked him immediately with the Interim belt fight. Look back to the PRIDE days and how they promoted their heavy weights and the division nd it's no surprise why people still think Pride had the best HW mma division of all time.
@@MiguelMartinez-el1le bruh dc was right too. dc dont even talk shit like that other than jon but those 2 just genuinely hate each other. but jon ducking fight after fight nowadays is kind of backing dc's statement up, at least in my opinion.
You would be surprised how well you can take shots keep inmind running makes your brain actually more resistant to being knocked out and a lot of these shots they are moving with it plus they see it coming its the ones you don't that sleep you
I always get mixed feelings when revisiting this trilogy as I simultaneously lost and gained respect for DC. He showed great striking ability against a decent boxing heavyweight and actually took the much bigger man down a few times as well as slamming him, but IMO the eye poking in the first fight affected the outcome. I think Stipe was somewhat compromised and very clearly frustrated by the fouls which contributed to him opening himself up losing. Then, the pokes continue into the 2nd/3rd fight. Not a good look for DC.
@Hello Tron DC is a great fighter he just lost to 2 of the greatest mixed martial artists and he gave both of them a hard time in the octagon he would have beat the breaks off Brock Lesnar he is extremely strong lifting Heavyweights and light Heavyweights like puppets he is also a Olympic wrestler no bum makes it to the Olympics and knocks out Stipe or beats Anthony rumble Johnson 2 he is one of the greats
@@illahknigge2567 this bum Hello tron is literally in every comment on this video with the same dumb paragraph. I saw him on a bunch of other videos too. Man has no life and needs to be banned.
I think Stipe should have retired after this he underestimated the damage he took and even if he comes back and becomes better I still would say the same the damage at Heavyweight is no joke, specially the way him and DC went at each other.
it wasnt that bad lol, come on tf. if the damage at heavyweight is more, so is their ability to absorb, dc does not have powerful punches, eye pokes yea.
@@pakhtun7639 “it wasn’t that bad”? Never comment on anything related to MMA again. I’ve never heard of anyone that downplays professional fighters like this.
This is what happens when two of the greatest of all time in their divisions fight each other at the end of their careers with no fucks left to give. What an absolute slaughter. I don't think anyone can be the same fighter after such a trilogy. I normally cheer for fights like these, but it was almost uncomfortable. The shots they took without going down was toe curling.
DC forever a legend. He's involved in two of the best trilogies ever although on the losing side he gave 100% of himself and went out on his shield like a true champion. I find it a little ironic in DC's last fight he's on the wrong end of eye pokes when he was the one poking Stipe the most throughout their trilogy.
*Please do Shawn Jordon vs. Derrick Lewis.* I’m forever happy that Stipe won this trilogy, and that he legitimately accidentally eyepoked DC (whilst DC was simultaneously trying to eye-poke him). *Every jab DC threw he intentionally jabbed his thumb under his fist and pushed it into Stipe’s eye.* There’s a perfect angle showing it in the second fight (1st round I think it was).
Those 2 losses to stipe hurt dcs legacy. He was considered top 5 in the goat convo. Imagine if dc was born 20 years before. We would prolly consider him the goat now. Too bad he got stuck in the Jon Jones era
I don’t think so, he created a legacy by showing he wasn’t just Jon Jones punching bag by winning the heavyweight championship in the first place. He’s one of the greatest of all time, only airheads that don’t know what their saying will disagree on that one.
This stipe trilogy exposed DC in more ways than one. DC always acted like the nice guy but this trilogy exposed that he is only nice when he knows he isn't around someone better than him.

Two of the most best warriors in the UFC, they both have the heart of a lion. Classiest fight I seen in many years. Two of the Classiest fighter's in the UFC both Stiopic and Daniel Cormier are the best fighter's and Classiest in all of the UFC. Two champions.!!!!
20:04 DC was having problems with that eye long before the poke. Not saying it helped but it definitely wasn't the deciding factor in that fight at all
Mcgregor vs poirer 2 best moments Khabib vs poirer best moments Khabib vs Justin best moments Max holloway vs tcity best moments Izzy vs jan best moments Izzy vs Robert Whittaker best moments Like this comment so King Larone see’s this
I notice that you have several videos on dc, as you do a lot of fighters but no one on RUclips has a documentary type of video on dc. I think you could capitalize on that cause he is one of the most underrated and under appreciated fighters ever. And his legacy is crazy.
2 best fights I`ve seen from ufc are Miocic vs. Cormier 2 and 3. Dudes delievered everything you could ask for in a fight. Sadly there was no audience because of Covid19.
Fun story, my younger cousin works at an optometry office in my old hometown San Jose and DC came in shortly after this fight to have his eyes checked, he signed a bunch of stuff for my cousin and the other girls working there and she also confirmed that his eye was in fact, extremely fk’d and had to wear a patch for weeks and required special drops and more.
@@FreeKickMaestro absolutely, and I understand them wanting him to win since they obviously are close with him as commentators and such, but they need to be neutral when it comes to calling fights as they see it. Even in the second fight when Stipe began to finish him in the 4th, Cruz literally says “Oh no!”
I feel bad for DC, people don't give him enough credit just like they don't give enough credit to Stipe Miocic. Jones was on PEDS and wether people admit it or not, peds make a huge difference in terms of strenght, stamina, nervous sytsem etc. Both of those Jones fights shouldn't have counted as losses. Stipe caught him in the rematch and won the third fight because he was the better heavyweight fighter. We can make the argument that if they both cut down to 205, Dc might have won. Dc is still one of the best ever and the only fighter to really beat him without peds or something like that is Stipe Miocic.
If it weren't for Jones or Stipe not only would DC be undefeated but he'd most likely would have retired undisputed heavyweight champ & undoubtedly the GOAT.... That's gotta sting.
It’s sucks when you’re a fan of both fighters knowing one has to lose. But something always bothered me about this because I always find myself asking why didn’t DC wrestle more.

Facts bro
DC earned the love when he won the LHW title but got disrespected again when he fought Silva and got KOd by Jones.
The UFC seemingly struggles with promoting the HW division. They sort of tried to bill Ngannou as the scariest man on the planet but then cucked him immediately with the Interim belt fight.

had to be intentional... like "hey fuckers dont go too crazy with the pokes"
Secret message for dc.
Marc was probably fatigued lol
how neither of them went out from any of those insane shots they hit each other with is crazy to me.
And the sound this shots made it’s just make me worry about them
The sound of those hits... Jesus.
You would be surprised how well you can take shots keep inmind running makes your brain actually more resistant to being knocked out and a lot of these shots they are moving with it plus they see it coming its the ones you don't that sleep you
look at DC’s belly flopping around man. and he was still an elite athlete. good on him
