After the fight I've seen a lot of people claiming that Francis Ngannou had not the level to compete for a title shot, his cardio was pathetic etc.
Francis's body gave up after the 1st round, and that's not the first time we see that in high level fights : Take for example Carwin against Lesnar, or McGregor vs Diaz 1.
More than bad conditionning, I think the adrenaline dump Francis had (just like Carwin) is due to feeling the pressure of the first title shot, getting too excited and starting too strong. I don't think conditionning was the problem here.
