@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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
*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).

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.!!!!
I notice that you have several videos on dc, as you do a lot of fighters but no one on UA-cam 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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
I don’t know why the UFC especially Dana is so adamant about having Stipe fight Jon when Francis is being difficult even though he promised he wouldn’t be. If I was Dana I would just have Francis fight Stipe hoping Stipe beats him as it would end their trilogy and block Francis’ way to the title for a long time then have Jones fight Stipe for the belt. All three of these fighters aren’t the favorites for Dana but Stipe is by far the easiest to work with compared to Francis or Jones
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.
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.

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.

how neither of them went out from any of those insane shots they hit each other with is crazy to me.

it's like they're playing a secret handshake game
look at DC’s belly flopping around man. and he was still an elite athlete. good on him
I cant begin to believe how much work you put into these videos I respect you for it
