Mark Hunt would easily KO Ngannou

[Loriquero]

-Hunto is the only guy in all MMA who can stand and bang with the predator.

-The samoan has lots of experience and knows how to find a chin. If Ngannou comes swinging wildly like he did against Stipe in the first, I can see dat african chin being tested.

-Near prime JDS had to shoot takedowns against Hunto.
-Stipe also.
-The only guy who banged with Hunto on feet and survived was roided Bigfoot.
-Hunto can go 5 rounds banging on feet. Ngannou barely can go 2 rounds.
-Hunto is the better striker in the technical department.
-Ngannou uppercut would not have enough momentum because Hunto is not tall enough.

Super Samoan bless

Hunt in his prime would be a nightmere matchup for francis. Would eat whatever he had and KO him with a punch just as hard.

Hunt now though......idk man

He's no longer relevant.

I don't know that anybody easily beats Ngannou. Hunt would be a fun matchup though. I give him a good shot either way.

 

[airic_15]

I agree, was thinking that last night

 

[Venom]

Ngannou has a serious weight and seems to have a strength advantage against most heavyweights, but Hunt could def match him in strength and punch power I think.

And Hunt has boxing skills

 

[MRT]

and here we go...

cue all the so-and-so "would easily" beat Francis threads lol

 

[PlayboyMixx]

I understand that Ngannou lost and Sherdog loves to rag on fighters who lose, but come on man. Ngannou, as green as he is, is still a scary match for anyone. Hunt has been hurt many times in his UFC career and he's been KO'ed. If Bigfoot can hurt Hunt, so can Ngannou.

 

[MMACroatia]

Now Hunt loses to Francis no doubt imo.
In prime,edge to Hunt but its a heavyweight,Ngannou could crack him.

 

[ookii]

Seriously. These threads are now saying how Derrick could easily beat Francais despite him having worse condition, chin and slower speed than Nganau

 

[ArtemV]

About 7 years ago, sure. Now, Ngannou catches him with a bomb .

Ngannou merks any version of Hunt that has ever competed. Hunt can't stand and bang with Ngannou. No one in the UFC can.

That's the beauty of Sherdog, one day a fighter is invincible and then, after a loss, he will lose to anyone ^^

With his weight and power I think it will be wise for him to really improvge his takedown/ground skill. Having power plus good takedown to make his opponent carry his weight (like Cormier per example) would be a good thing for him, he cannot rely only on his punches anymore.

 

[Loriquero]

He's no longer relevant.

He is the #5 ranked heavyweight right now. It would make sense for Ngannou as a recovery match. But I think the UFC doesn't want to completely derrail their african-french hype train. They would put him against a tailor made opponent like Werdoom or Black Beast.

 

[JimtheJake]

Hunt is about 57 years old now and has been ko’d too many times. Leave him alone.

 

[JAEGERX]

the guy is not easy to put down, Stipe hits like a truck and he clocked him in the head alot, maybe if he's off the roids idk, we will see i guess

I think Werdum would handle him, pretty sure if he got top control it’d be over quick. Sub game would too much to Francis.

I think prime JDS would be favorite against 2018 Ngannou. He had great chin, great box (for MMA standards) and cardio for days.
Put 15KG to Gustafson, and would be a toss of a coin

 

[SuperNerd]

Stipe beat them both up.

 

[Gilday]

Prime Hunt maybe

Hunt now? Not so sure
