@@rpaul23455 it's actually a tougher fight than Gane or Francis, because Stipe has a better resume at HW and is more versatile and able to implement game plans and switch them up mid-fight. That's how he got DC in their second fight by starting to go hard to the body in the third which eventually led to DC dropping his gaurd and getting TKO'd by punches to the face.

In fairness, I don't think Wonderboy is afraid of Shavkat or anyone. However, after having had a couple of uneventful grappling matches that went the distance, he was looking for a fun striking battle. At this stage in his career, WB isn't looking to compete for the title. He just wants to have a couple more fun striking battles, before riding off in to the sunset. And that fight between him and Holland certainly delivered. We got to see arguably the best striker in UFC on full display.

Have to respect him for the honesty. He doesn't need to fight everyone at this point in his career.

They deserve respect for being proper competitors, no shame in losing if you put up a great fight against a tough opponent.

@@PyRo-zm3lk I’m saying this as a fan of him and his fights but he’s just saying what he’s suppose to say. Most active fighters’ ego won’t let them admit they can no longer compete for a title. But the tough reality is, at this stage of his career and seeing how stacked the top of this division is, he hasn’t been in the running for the title for a few years now. This is a young man’s game and nearly all the top contenders are half a decade or more younger than he is. His window for a title has closed, or else he would be asking for a fight with Shavkat or Khamzat, a couple of real contenders. He can still entertain and collect hefty paychecks though, so why not.
