I love Stipe but I really don’t want to see that fight. Bad things are gonna happen to him

Stipe’s not the best heavyweight of all time performance-wise. He has the names and the title defense stat, but he beat every great heavyweight on his resume when they were old and past it. Personally, I’d like to see Jon smoke Stipe so we can go back to wondering if Cain Velasquez or Jones would’ve won in a superfight. Those 2 will deserve to go down as the true heavyweight GOATs

Gane didn’t even try to hand fight the guillotine

Seems to be the case with alot of top tier athletes. Pretty questionable as a human being but they're bloody good at what they do.
