To take it one step further - when the bigger divisions get more competitive, a guy DC's size won't be able to (mostly) dominate the light heavyweight (205) division (nevermind competing successfully at heavyweight, which DC did). You don't see anyone in the lightweight or smaller divisions weigh in with as much bodyfat as DC - they can't, competition is too good to be giving up so much size (muscle mass and length) to a competitor.
Yeah, Stipe could fight at 225 if they created that division. Ngannou couldn't get down there.Ngannou is one of the few heavyweights that has to cut weight to make it. Stipe just stuffs his face with food. Probably mostly raw meat!

Ngannou has strongest punch ever measured of all UFC fighters.
He's a freak of nature!
Yeah, Ngannou has been trolled pretty good after that match on his cardio and wrestling skills. In his defense, he hasn't needed either up until now! Imagine he improves his cardio and develops the kind of takedown defense that Tyron Woodley has. He'd be scary AF then.........but the cardio of a Cheetah. He was burned out by the 2nd round. Stipe proved smarts and a well rounded game was too much for the beast.
Cormier v Miocic.....now that should be great matchup, and what the fan want to see.

Romero! Dude KO'ed one of the most complete fighters in Rockhold, and he's 40 years old. Imagine Romero started MMA in his late teens or early 20s instead of his early 30s. He'd be nightmarish.

Luke's mind had already left the arena, but that uppercut sent him into the twilight zone. And a minute later, Romero is kissing him on the cheek. LOL.
He does look juiced. I'm kinda surprised Rockhold was content to stand and trade with him. I guess Rockhold figured he could use his jab and kicks to keep Romero at distance and disrupt his attacks. Those leg kicks sure looked like they had an effect, but only after the fight was over; should have kept at it with the leg kicks in the 2nd and 3rd round.Romero is gnarley. But man I can’t stand him. Of course he misses weight.
Always looks juiced to the gills. I hope Bobby Knuckles relocates his face to the back of his head!
Perhaps. But his teammate cannot - Artem Lobov was apparently with Conor's crew during that silliness and for that, Dana yanked him from his UFC 223 undercard fight. All that training wasted; and who knows if he'll ever fight in the UFC again.Conor can do what he wants... He owns that shit... Hasn't fought in 500+ days and still the only name in MMA most folks know...
Who's going to ban him? Not the UFC. He'll be an even bigger draw after this.Yep lifetime ban from MMA of any kind including any kind of promotion company's he might be involved with now and future ,plus a 1,000,000 fine .
