Great guy and great in the local scene. He stands no chance with the pro’s in the UFC or even strikeforce top fighters. we all know it is true, but wont say it publicly. Good luck either way, I will root for him.
I agree he is great in the NAAFS. I also agree with what you are thinking, but disagree you posting it here and pissing on his parade. Let him enjoy this!
Hey dude, why you hating! You dont make it to that level unless your capable, so shut your hole! Probably one of Stipe’s victim!

the NAAFS has not given anybody that has tested him. Just because you make it to the UFC doesent mean you are ready. Look at Ryan Maddigan, and Hendrix. Not even close to being competitive. Even when stipe fought for Moosin it wasent close to being top level competition. I wish all the best for Stipe, but if he is going to be successful he is going to have to move camps
Dude, your a half of beech!!! Your such a bad ass and know it all, why don’t you get in the ring and back up your great knowledge of the sport and go where Stipe is! Your probably sitting on the toilet writing your rubbage while you pee…
the only reason why your upset is because you know i am right.Stipe has fought nobodys.Just like you, a nobody.Unlike you i stand while i pee. I think stipe is a great fighter, just not ready for the UFC
You act like you have courage by saying what you think everyone thinks! Well Miss Anonymous, I think your wrong as do many others! So madame, I think everyone has heard your opinion, and they realize that you are a nobody because you don’t even have a name… You also say you will root for him, so I guess will see you ringside and in your skirt?
i am saying it because it is the truth. Get off of stipes nuts. your damn right i will be ringside rooting him on and i will be the sexiest bitch there. Acting all big and bad on a chat forum is not going to get your lame ass props from dana white. Like the name paul lets everyone know who you are. even if you fight in the NAAFS there are more then one person named paul. dont worry bout my name. worry about learning the sport ammy
Haha!!! Ok, see you ringside, Maybe you should personally let Stipe in on your opinion of him. I’m sure you have the nuts to do that princess?
i will make sure to do that. i hope you get the peeing in the toilet thing all figured out. Just stand, pinch the little thing, and shoot. its really very simple
Quit stealing my material,… LOSER
really dude? thats all you can come up with. think just a little more next time
How’s this, GO STIPE!!!
whoooooooooooooooooo STIPE is the best ever!!!!!!!! i can see you in your cute little short skirt and pom poms. Im sure your STIPEs #1 fan
I’m his second best fan next to your mother…

I wish Stipe the best but my guess is he will be fighting in NAAFS next year if not at NOC.
Great news!! The NAAFS does a great job promoting their champions! Good luck Stipe and do OHIO proud buddy
yeah they promote there champions, and they protect them as well. Stipe has never had a difficult fight, hopefully he does well in the UFC but its hard to say, i def wish him the best
Hes just that damn good. He needs to move on.

for anyone who thinks stipe has been tested in any of his fights must be retarded. not one person he fought made stipe dig deep for the win. first time he gets tested in a fight he will look like jessica eye at fnf.
this guy open up more tomato cans than josh hendricks did
were all rooting for him, but a huge fkn croatian head and some decent wrestling can only take you so far
