if you really think that Ngannu is that good, then why did he struggle with...

[VIPERdude]

Stipe will beat Francis because of the outcome of some car race you saw one time?

lol top notch analysis there

Well, by the looks of your join date I see you are new here. I am not so I can tell you first hand you have to explain things in ways people can understand them ...not so YOU can but for those who arent necessarily the brightest. You will learn as time goes on what kind of audience you deal with on the forum. If you know already then you shouldnt need an explanation why such comparisons are necessary.

Btw a car race had nothing at all to do with the fight lol....so you may have read it wrong to begin with

 

[Egészségére!]

<<if his punch is like a Ford escort going at full speed>>

 

[Final Say]

I don't really see how Stipe beats Ngannou. (no disrespect to Stipe as he's a monster of a fighter himself though)

if USADA does not intervene.

• KO power
• Great offensive and defensive footwork
• Iron chin
• Fast recovery
• Durable
• Much more skilled boxer
• Division 1 wrestling
• Heavy ground and pound

 

[MusterX]

LOL

You musta missed the part where

In terms of Ngannou beating Blaydes, I will go on record right now that Curtis Blaydes may be a future champion. That guy is 8-1, 7 KO's, 6'4" and a natural HW. Not all guys that fight at HW are natural HW's. His only loss is to Francis Ngannou. The kicker is that he is a mere 26 years old. In terms of Heavyweight fighters, Blaydes is an infant. If he wants to, he will be around LONG after all the current HW's are gone.

P.S. As much as it pains me, I think Blaydes fucks Mark Hunt up at UFC 221 and ends his career. That is my prediction, that Blaydes KO's Mark Hunt and Hunt has to seriously consider retirement at age 43.

P.S.S. There is a good chance Stipe is about to get a prolapsed anus if Ngannou hits him flush either with a hook or an uppercut.

Ngannou is a hype job.

Hype indicates a fake sort of skill level being elevated in order to sell a fight. Surely you understand that Ngannou is 6-0 in UFC fights with 6 finishes including a standing Kimura on Anthony Hamilton. Stipe may beat Ngannou but Ngannou is not hype. He is a physically imposing and athletic HW that can probably knock dead anyone in the division.

Comparing Ngannou to Tank

Ded

^Francis vs a good, technical, well rounded fighter^​

Not to mention Ngannou has had 12 professional fights and already has 4 submission wins. People think he's just a big hard hitting guy with no skills but the shocker is going to be when people figure out this guy ain't playin lol.

Ngannou is mostly hype. Not a lot of skill to go with it.

he is big and hard hitting but he doesn't have much skill even doing that. Extremely basic fighter. A cautious, skilled fighter will beat him.

 

[Lifes a gamble]

Francis slept AO&AA,2glass cannons from queer street.obviously he can KO Stipe also,but so could any HW on the roster.HWs hit hard&Stipe has already fought some heavy hitters&has shown the fight IQ&skills to avoid there power &dominate them.this fight will be no different.Stipe is gonna put on a clinic, he will make it look ez&make Francis look bad.cuz Stiopic not only has that immigrant blood&mentality,but he also has a huge edge in every category but power,but u can only sleep someone so much,if there dead,they cant be any deader.this is a perfect storm of Francis getting way to cocky&over looking&underestimating a dangerous guy&he still has so many questions that Stipe has already answered,many times over,at a higher level,against better competition,while performing under pressure&dealing with adversity, etc.etc..im not really even a Stipe fan but i don't see how this fight is more competitive than the Hunt or Nelson fights.2 Heavy handed,Iron chinned, more well rounded&more experienced fighters than Francis

Blaydes is fucking good man, a seriously topn prospect. Ngannou hardly struggled with him, IIRC he dealt with him fairly comfortably. But Blaydes is damn tough, huge respect for the boy's chin after seeing the way Ngannou has corpse everyone else.

Blaydes is slow and plodding, flat footed, no boxing. Big difference between him and Stipe

He has power in his hands, what else?

This is MMA not boxing, where even power isn’t enough to make you a good boxer. Overeem left his hand down and threw some windmill punch and got KO’d. He’s also been KO’d over a dozen times.

Also, who cares about Anthony Hamilton? Ngannou had trouble with Curtis freakin Blaydes. It’s not his fault the HW division is a joke though.

 

[blaseblah]

The dude hits hard that’s all, remember tank? What happened when he fought a well rounded and a good technique guy (belfort)?

Ngannou has more submission wins than JDS, Cain and Stipe combined. He's a well rounded fighter.

He did not struggle with Blaydes, who is a future contender himself. Expect him to beat Hunt.

 

[DarkneT]

Blayeds so much? I mean he won, but he was getting clobbered by a sloppy fighter. Plus, the eye swollen shut was a result of a finger grazing more than a punch. I saw all this Guy's fights and he has some power, but Reem and AA are the perfect matchup to lose to Francis! If Stipe takes his time Ngannou will be a goner! Discuss why he couldn't put Curtis away if his punch is like a ford escort going full speed?

I'm
With you

And that's why I'm betting a double
DC inside the distance and Stipe ITD

All the cucks in here didn't watch the Blaydes fight they just saw the KO's
I did and I wasn't impressed

This is gonna look like stipe vs Hunt except frenchy won't last that long

 

[Ah Man]

Francis NGannou had been training mixed martial arts for 32 months. He has now been training for 53. And Blaydes is a damn good prospect himself. And NGannou won. And he has since knocked out maybe the most technical fighter in the division, who is a hell of an athlete himself, if aging.

I don't make NGannou a heavy favorite, because Stipe Miocic is a badass. But make no mistake: NGannou is a massive, highly skilled, very athletic fighter. If Miocic wins, it's because Miocic is that good, not because NGannou isn't.

 

[Sad Dad]

what the fuck is with tons of people saying ngannou doesn't have technique and is just a power puncher. That's fucking stupid.

 

[ScholarDayo]

Yall really reaching to find a in his armour. Its pathetic let's just see the fight play out.

 

[DysDave]

Man, people really rag on guys for old fights. Ngannou isn't a fighter from childhood, he's only been training MMA seriously now for what, 4/5 years? Skill for anyone goes up dramatically in the early stages, and that fight was over a year and a half ago. He is far, far better than he was then. And by all accounts, he's a human sponge for information- kind of like a HW Jon Jones. Some people just pick stuff up obnoxiously fast, and when you look at how developed his technique is getting, he certainly seems to be one.

I dunno if he's ready for Miocic yet, but Stipe sure as hell won't be rolling over him. This is going to be a war.

 

[Squintz]

Miocic is most dangerous when he controls the center of the octagon, backs his opponents up and dictates pace. He won’t be able to do that against Ngannou.

When they exchange early on and Stipe feels Ngannou’s power he’s going to sleep. If he survives he’ll be backing up on the retreat until he gets finished. I give Stipe 2 rounds max.

Also Stipe has had a significant reach advantage over all his past opponents with the exception of Reem who has the same reach and dropped him in the pocket. Struve is the only one who had a reach advantage of 4.5 inches but he’s not even known for taking advantage of it in any of his fights yet it played a major factor against Stipe.

Aside from the power advantage... Ngannou has better reflexes, his hand speed his elite for a UFC HW and he’s going to have a 3 inch reach advantage. Things are gonna end very badly for Stipe.

It’s hilarious that on sherdog, even if you have good wins over top comp, if you loose to the well established champ you were just a hype job.

You're just as much of a "cuck" then. You're cherry picking one performance to make your argument.
