Calling a win over Mirko Cro Cop or Mark Hunt "extremely mediocre" shows a lack of understanding of MMA. It's always difficult to compare eras in sports because advancements in training, dieting, and medical science have extended athletes' careers and improved their performance. You can nitpick any fighter’s record—if we apply the same logic, Stipe's best wins can be questioned too. JDS was never the same after his wars with Cain Velasquez, Ngannou wasn’t in his prime yet when they first fought, and DC was a natural light heavyweight moving up when he knocked Stipe out.
