UFC 252 On ESPN+ PPV [8/15] “The Trilogy In LV” (Daniel Cormier/Stipe Miocic III, O’Malley/Vera)

[EarlyEarly]

49-46? I had it 48-47.

 

[Inertia Creeps]

That was a pretty clear 3-2 or even 4-1 Stipe. The only rounds you could argue for DC are by razor thin margins, while the rounds Stipe won he was way ahead on volume and damage. If Cormier showed up in better shape he coulda maybe stole that even with only 1 working eye, but he was low-key gassed from the 3rd on and spent too much time flattened against the fence for the 2nd half of the fight. Still better than basically any UFC heavyweight title fight but man. If Cormier could commit to a diet he could still be a 3 division world champ; nobody is stuffing or getting up from his takedowns at the weight he SHOULD have always been fighting at for his height and reach, which is 185.

[Ribbs]

[Nero Christ]

figured...once again, if you don't decisively beat the champ, you're not gonna get the W

but that belt looks cheap as shyt

 

[jackswstd]

DC didn't use his wrestling at all, cost him the fight IMO.

 

[Canon]

Yup fatty didn’t show up in good enough shape

cant disagree here

 

[So UnThotful]

49-46 ain't that bad of a scorecard

That 4th was a toss up round

 

[KamikazePilot]

If that’s it hell of a career for DC

Fought the last 2 rounds with one eye and didn’t get finished

 

[THEREALBRAND]

That eye

Hopefully he’s not blind.

 

[BujuBoombastic]

He don’t look like he wants this

Ngannou does though.
