I wish the UFC respected him more. He had to hold out twice to get back to title shots he deserved, If Carla got a tribute and not this man WTF is happening?!?! Great champion with great character, he deserved more.
@@JustinPuyearIf you honestly thought Mike was going to win I have some timeshares to sell you lol same with this fight, Stipe was so obviously losing 😅
One of the, if not the saddest retirement moment in sports history. The UFC should be ashamed of themselves. The man gave his heart,blood, sweat, and tears, and gave everything he had to the UFC. This is how he's treated. Dana could have stepped in and said something... I don't blame Stipe for wanting to retire and getting the F*** out of there. You can hear it in his voice. He feels used and not appreciated... Stipe is better going home and continuing his amazing firefighter career. He is definitely going back to a place where he is loved and appreciated without question. ⛑️🚒
Stipe signed the contract. He’s a grown man not a child, he wasn’t forced to fight. He got paid and Jon got paid. Stop making Stipe out to be a victim.
@@Callmethedrink7Cain, stipe, jds the list goes on. Heavyweight is the hardest division to maintain. Even if they win a fight one good shot from these guys can take years off their careers. Also they can be technically better and get caught with a lucky shot zagged when you should have zigged.
"We'll miss you" -400k purse -Gives him an extremely hard fight against a younger 🦆 -No promo package celebrating his career -Interviews him for 40 secs At least Joe said thanks I guess
How is the UFC supposed to know before hand to throw a vid or something. He's the one that made it a nothing burger. No, thanks UFC, no, thanks fans, no, thanks coaches.....nothing
@@MultiVideoKing3 i get what ppl are saying about that short interview but he just got his ass kicked he didn’t feel great about the night i’m sure. steipe didn’t have much to say other then he’s done. thank god lol. like other dude said stripe kinda made it that short he didn’t thank anyone or say anything else. stiepe will get his flowers one night and we’ll never hear from him again lol
He really wasn’t tho. His title run was at at time when the division was all washed up former PED users. Ngannou was his only win where actually looked like a dominant champ
@@CroRain7 lmao “he did better at losing than Gane” 🤣 If you actually watched all of Stipe’s fights in the UFC you would know he was a mid fighter and the least skilled champ in the last 15 years
He deserved a better retirement, it hurts me to see how they didn't give him a proper farewell, but you will always be a legend Miocic 👊🏻 900 likes 😳 I have never seen so many on RUclips, it seems that many of us agree, greetings from a Cuban 🇨🇺 May God bless everyone who reads this
This was the best retirement for the man. He hasn't fought in years. Thankfully Jon had an injury for him to train an entire year and get back in fighter shape (somewhat). Dude earned a commercial and probably got paid 1-5 million plus airtime
Wtf u on about? He came off a loss straight into a title after a 4 year lay off. this was set up to give him the perfect send off. Fighs the GOAT for the HW title in your last fight. HE also lost to the best not some unranked bum nobody heard of. Perfect if he won but also not bad losing to jon Jones either.
Stipe was a warrior and a very cerebral fighter. Never forget how he broke down the much bigger Ngannou and after losing first couple rounds to DC in their second fight, how he switched up and attacked DC’s body and went on to win. As a fellow Croatian -American, I bid Stipe a fond farewell. 🇭🇷🇭🇷
Absolutely this sucked so bad Carla of all people got treated well and stipe got shafted because oh welp gotta maintain that manufactured goat agenda going I suppose
Thanks Stipe, my favorite fighter! You contributed a lot to the sport and will be remembered as the GOAT of heavyweight. You have faced the toughest opponents and were the first to beat Francis Ngannou. Wish you happy days, enjoy your retirement!
He deserves that next time round he will bot be back he has a bit of damage already and I'm sure his family and friends have told him he gave us some good nights .A legend you are stipe and many a drunk night I had watching my favourite sport
Stipe my beloved friend.. I’m happy you are done fighting.. we enjoyed those years watching those fights… now you get to rest from fighting. Makes me a bit sad you’re done fighting but atleast me and my family probably can still visit you and stuff^^
Great GREAT GREETINGS TO STIPE from SERBIA 🙋🇷🇸!! Greetings from colleague. I was not MMA , I was karate fighter. Now I am 66, retired now. You are very good, boy. BRAVO STIPE DRUŽE! PRAVI SI UDARAČ, MAJSTOR. ZDRAVLJA I ZABAVE ŠTO VIŠE U ŽIVOTU TI ŽELIM!!! ŽIVI BILI PA BEVANDU NA HVARU PILI!! Daj Bože na leto, u restoranu "Lungo mare" grad Hvar , Križna luka. Vlasnik Petar Hure, moj poznanik još od 1975. Živili!!
I laughed when Rogan asked him whether he'll continue Stipe chuckled as if to say, "Heck no! Thank God I no longer have to do this anymore. I'm going back to normal life where I don't get concussions." Amen to that!
Dawg I’m 32 … Felt this vid in my soul honestly. I don’t like drama either, once I experienced that peace in solitude; I was alright with life. Circle got hella tight. I don’t fool with people like I used to
Thank you for giving us one hell of a show time and time again. I’ve been a fan of Jones and Miocic since either of them entered the octagon with the UFC so their fight was epic for me.
My favorite heavyweight fighter of all time... Disrespected his entire career by everybody in the ufc fans included. Handled it better than anybody at heavyweight.
@@moneycompound4012 Hard core Croatian DNA. My people. Being born in US to Croatian parents he was tamed by the system here. Usually we are more wild in natural environment.😅 His cool and confidence came from his hard job as well. Stressfull as it can be. He pissed off UFC when they all bet on Francis first fight. He did not listen to his corner as he said and being stubborn with his granite chin stood to much in front Jones.
Wow. What an amazing retirement moment they gave Stipe. Gave him a pat on the back and a goodbye🔥 This was sad and Stipe deserved much more man. Wtf were they doing?
For such a legend to retire and the ufc barely giving a fck only to promote their manufactured duck as the goat of the sport , this was so shameful keep your head up stipe you're a legend and an amazing human being
Im gonnaaaa miss you stipe people forget how good you were and how many entertaining fights you gave us. The ufc just didnt like you! In your prime im sure jon wouldnt want to fight you
Exactly 💯 Prime Stipe when he was Champion mops the floor with Jon no question and jones knows it too that's why he wanted to fight him after a knock out loss and 4 year lay off come on.
This reminds me of when glover texiera retired in brazil and the crowd left the arena while he got interviewed, i guess because he got beat they were mad....pretty pathetic fans...its ok i bet conneticut is glad to have him!. Respect to both

Why? He was 42. Should have quit before. He had a good run.
He just got his ass beat, how’s he supposed to feel? When had Dana ever stepped in and said anything during a retirement?
He is a legend in my opinion. This one hurt 😢hearing in his voice saying he is done was sad. This man deserved so much better.
Stipe signed the contract. He’s a grown man not a child, he wasn’t forced to fight. He got paid and Jon got paid. Stop making Stipe out to be a victim.

Best heavyweight, what a legend, thank you
No one defended the belt at Heavyweight as many times as Stipe did. The man. God bless Stipe, and his family.❤

-Gives him an extremely hard fight against a younger 🦆
-No promo package celebrating his career
