Traditional logic would suggest DC is too small but this is a legit different case.

We are talking about a guy who has shown to overcome size deficiency at the highest level and is undefeated at it with wins over much larger HW's and fantastic wrestlers like Barnett. So size is not a factor in this case for me especially when you throw in Stipe is on the smaller end of HW.....

DC is the better wrestler period, I am not sure who you could say is better at it in the octagon but that does not mean he beats Stipe, just saying his amateur wrestling cred is better and proven in the octagon.

But let me ask everyone here, is this not one that kind of makes sense? I hate holding up divisions believe me I am on that side but here I am okay with this. There is nobody left for either of these guys so we can burn six months for a big TUF build up to a historical fight. Stipe needs Cain healthy for a legit big fight and DC other than Gus who I love but sorry probably not a big seller either so we dont have to have that rematch. I like this as we near the end to DC's great career, a shot at history for him and for Stipe and deserved big paydays for two of the best role models in the game.... I say good for two of the nice  guys to cash in on a superfight without having to act the fool to sell it........
