I feel like Roy Nelson could've taken that Ngannou uppercut

[Organic Damage]

Yeh i have that feeling too. I still wonder if Ngannou actually hits harder than Hunt

I don't necessarily thing the Hunt uppercut KO'd Nelson on force alone. I think it was precision and timing.

N'Gannou seems to have good accuracy but I don't know if pure force is enough to KO Nelson. He's eaten some flush bombs.

Reems chin is legendarily weak.

Not a good reference.

Roy on the other hand has a Godlike chin.

There is not a man alive that has eaten as many flush punches, knees and elbows. Not even Big Nog.

He's a tank, second to none.

Mighty Manlet would survive that uppercut unharmed

I hadn't seen a KO in the UFC where I worried if the guy was ever going to wake up again for a long time and then we had two in a week lol God damn those were some vicious KOs

Seriously my exact thoughts too man. Happened so close to each other too. Both of those KO's were so brutal that I was like ummm idk if I should cheer right now.

Overeem getting KOd by that punch is a very poor evidence to believe that.

It's not that it was against Overeem, I've seen the punch a thousand times. Francis hits really hard and that punch landed flush. I still don't believe anybody survives that shot in MMA.
