Sipe is underrated due to his not-so-great looking record. His two losses, however, came from a doctor’s stoppage due to a cut, while the other saw him losing on the Contender Series.

When Sipe lost his fight on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018, it was to Don’Tale Mayes. Sipe was beating Mayes until he was cut, and went on to lose at the end of the second round. Sipe hasn’t been all that active as after his two-fight skid, he took a two-year layoff. He fought twice in 2020; once in MMA and one pro boxing match winning in just under a minute. He has not competed since.

Sipe is a dog and will make you stand toe to toe with him. His power is legit and people forget he’s an even better wrestler. Just loving to brawl hasn’t paid out all that well for him mind you. If he learned to be more technical and throw straight punches and pick his shots he would be a serious threat. Sipe is the youngest fighter in The Ultimate Fighter 30 house and has seen more than most of these guys have in the octagon. He is a sleeper no doubt.
