Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-08-17, great performance by both fighters: Daniel Cormier vs Stipe Miocic 2 is close to get four stars (UFC Performance of the Night).The former Strikeforce Hw, former Ufc light-Hw and current Ufc Hw champion Daniel Cormier entered this fight with a professional mma record of 22-1-0 (68% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.1 heavyweight in the world. ‘DC’ suffered his only loss against Jon Jones in their first fight in 2015 (Jones vs Cormier I), since then he has won seven bouts beating Stipe Miocic (Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier I) and Derrick Lewis in his last two (Daniel Cormier vs Derrick Lewis). In 2017, he had also faced Jon Jones for the second time losing via KO, but then the result was overturned in a no-contest since ‘Bones’ tested positive for Turinabol (Cormier vs Jones 2).
His opponent, the former Ufc Hw champ Stipe Miocic, has an official record of 18-3-0 (78% ko/tko victory rate – he has never won via submission) and he entered as the No.3 in the same weight class. Before losing to Cormier in July 2018, he had beat Francis Ngannou in January 2018 (Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou) and Junior dos Santos in May 2017 (Miocic vs dos Santos 2). Cormier vs Miocic 2, main event of Ufc 241, is valid for the Ufc heavyweight title (Cormier’s second defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!

Those body shots by Stipe looked painful to watch.
Agree that it was an unintelligent approach by Stipe – he played DC’s game for the first three rounds, fighting in the inside. I was like what the hell dude, throw more leg kicks and jabs lol. But I gotta give it up to him for finding that opening eventually. There’re a lot of fighters that just can’t make those adjustments mid-fight, especially if they are getting beat up as bad as Stipe did. If anything, Stipe’s corner is to be blamed for not telling him to do that earlier, while Stipe should be praised for his toughness and conditioning.
agreed.
Nice comment id rather see you go there inside with cormier and do what you think if it’s really effective in the early round.. easy to say for you. After being lost in first match he need to find out first for the adjustment.
Stop it sir. You sound ignorant. This isn’t about me. It’s about what we witnessed. & It was clear as day.
He Now The Greatest HEAVYWEIGHT of all time
I feel like he wanted to show that Cormier couldn’t knock him out easy again before putting him away. I agree that Stipe fought a stupid fight. Stipe fought cormiers fight and still won. He won, but he could have taken far less damage and his career would be a bit longer because of smarter fighting. If you are going to body shot people it pays to do it earlier on in the fight not later on. DC apparently has the body of a marshmallow when it comes to taking shots, because the very first one made his eyes bug out and it only got worse after that.
great fight, well done Stipe, love it
Take the zoom off these videos please can hardly see what’s happening it’s too close.
