He genetically carries that weight. It's literally a sign of his ancestors being from a higher IQ, better fed part of Africa. The portion of his career he didn't have it was initially youth, then unrealistic regiments. He's still a world class athlete and fighter and was doing really well until Miocic homed onto his weak point in that round and capitalized on it. Could happen to anyone. DC is still one of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time, and in my opinion would have probably fucked JJ up if he wasn't a doping, cheating piece of shit that literally gets away with doing so because "muh dick and shit neeeaaagguh" on Joe Rogan.

Yeah I wish he at least retired for a year after the trilogy fight with DC. He had 4 nasty fights in a row, basically got himself down to a LHW frame to out cardio DC then comes back half heartedly against a juiced up monster in Francis. We already saw what a younger apparently more motivated Stipe did to Francis, and After watching Francis against Gane I’ve no doubt Stipe in his prime beats him 8-9/10 times. That being said he’s older now, he’s a HW who’s taken HW shots for more than a decade. Sometimes Father Time punches your card.

Those liver shots can take a man’s soul away

I would love to know which person was responsible for that mid-fight adjustment... I believe that someone in Stipe's corner noticed the hole in DC's defense. Someone in that corner told Miocic that DC was susceptible to those right side body punches. I know this because of how Stipe came out of the corner with a clear strategy of how to change the tide of that fight. I must've watched this a thousand times...

Excellent round 4 for Stipe. Right to the body, attack and attack and attack until the wall goes down, once it cracks its only a matter of time before the castle falls. Great work to the body
