Leading up to the fight, both the fighters seem confident in their abilities. Stipe has acknowledged the fact that Francis is a heavy hitter, but he still believes that he will come out on top.

There has been much talk about how Stipe should defend the title more often and whether UFC should introduce an interim title in the heavyweight division. However, he will defend his title now, and it will be extremely interesting to see which fighter will walk out of the UFC Apex with the belt and be the one to welcome Jon Jones to the heavyweight division.
