our boy stipe!

if anybody remembers our boy Stipe from the old site, who used to give us the inside scoop on cro cop.....he won tonight!

Is that actually him? I thought it might, but I never knew for sure. Guy is awesome though!

i cant be 100% certain but he always did have good info before mainstream media did and he said he trained with crocop....i would put money that it is

He needs to get back on the forum again, dude is badass

I was wondering the same thing as were a few others when Stipe made his debut.

ok... after looking, that isn't even the thread I was thinking of... But I know we talked about it somewhere. But I think what the conclusion was, was that the name Stipe is the Croatian equivalent to John and that it wasn't him.

shame

Yeah that was my stance on the issue.

I haven't done the research, but I wouldn't be surprised if "Stipe" was an extremely common name in Croatia.
On top of that, our boy Stipe from the old site seemed to be very obviously from Croatia and/or had very close ties to the Cro Cop camp, while the Stipe who won on Wednesday was clearly very much American, due to his complete lack of a foreign accent and American demeanor (and according to his intro, was fighting out of Ohio).

I know that isn't definitive evidence, but neither is the fact that his name is Stipe conclusive that it's the same guy.
But hey; We can hope, right?!

Yeah thats what i was going to say. Our stipe had some problem with the english language whereas the guy who fought on Fuel almost sounded like a hillbilly haha

ahhh.....i never heard the guy talk the other night
