MMA would be taking a step back if Ngannou becomes champ

[XxanaxX]

Stop liking fighting styles that I don’t like.

 

[Phisher]

Winning the majority of your fights by utilizing your greatest strength sets mma back?

Yeah, I wonder if TS made the same thread before Maia fought Woodley because Maia winning literally would have taken the sport back to UFC 1.

Already adressed Maia. He is a modern, complete fighter. Do not insult this man by comparing him to Ngannou.

The only somewhat valid comparison is Brock Lesnar although even that has flaws because he had a very strong wrestling background and even developed his striking to a point where he knocked down half of his opponents with punches.

The other comparison is Bob Sapp but his success was in the early to mid 00s, a more primitive era than Brock's.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Idiots should check his record.
Ngannou has quite a few subs.

His resume appears far more diverse than the fireman's does

 

[Human Bass]

People talk like he was Derrick Lewis. Ngannou clearly has technique.

 

[613]

By his own admission, he walks around at 245.

Why the fuck does his walk around weigh matter? Jones walks around at 245LB when he is not in camp and not in fight shape. Do you think Hendricks is a HW also because his walk around weight? Walk around weight means NOTHING! All that matters is fight shape weight. And every report we have gotten about Jones weight ON FIGHT NIGHT shows he doesn't cut that much

Seriously, any idiot who uses "walking around weight" should be banned. Fucking Rampage walked around at a fat 255LB. I guess he is a huge HW right? Anderson was 230LB "walking around" at times. I guess he is Cain's size

Fucking idiot!

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He will be champ because he is a very good athlete, he has only been training MMA for a few years. As I said in the past if Lebron James trained at a top MMA gym for a year he would be UFC HW champ, without question in my mind. I don't care if you disagree, its fine, thats my opinion. He would probably use them all as punching bags too.

 

[613]

Yes sir. Cutters equal duckers. Plain and simple.

So every single fighter but HWs is ducking? Even Machida (at LHW) and Frankie (at LW) cut weight

Lebron is kinda a pussy. I like the guy, and think he is the best player since Jordan (maybe with 2000-2003 Shaq) but he would hate getting hit lol. Anyone with Lebrons athleticism and body would have a MASSIVE advantage in MMA though

 

[Chagaev]

You, sir, are a fucking idiot. Do you have any idea how much of a fucking idiot someone has to be to goad me into saying that?

A sherdogger idiot?

Before he flew out to have a ringside seat of Dana babbling about Ford Escorts at the press conference in Vegas, he was in the Strong Style Gym at three o'clock in the goddam morning during a Cleveland winter, working out. @wilKO

So who are his training partners?

 

[Raise Your Fist]

Stipe working a regular job already makes the division look bush league.

If he had the same dedication to the sport GSP had, a guy like Ngannou wouldn't be such a threat.

He doesn't work full time as firefighter anymore just part time he said that on the MME podcast with Rogan. I don't think it's that big a deal TBH.

 

[MikalP]

Him only needing his hands to win doesn't mean it's all he has to win. He's pretty untested elsewhere because his hands have gotten it done. Let's wait and see

 

[J180]

Does not show his boxing? Clearly some of you don't know what the fuck you are watching. His footwork alone shows he'e using his boxing. He displays his boxing, in the very first second of the Reem fight when Reem tries to surprise him with a lead left hand and Ngannou uses his footwork to quickly take a hop step back and he fires 2 counters that almost take off Reem head in the first second of the fight.

 

[NoSmilez]

Stipe’s job isn’t that serious. It’s like 0 degrees in Ohio now and I doubt he is doing much fire fighting. He probably sleeps all day

 

[g*r*b]

He's also a paramedic, in fact by his own estimation EMT situations are 85-95% of the calls he goes out on. The slip and falls in a 0 degree Cleveland alone is probably enough to keep him hopping.

 

[TrueFightFan]

Machida walks around at 220... duck. Edgar walks around at 160-170.... duck. All but heavyweights and BJ Penn are ducks. You might try to get smart on me and say,"well what about the guys that cut to make the 265max limit?" Hey, those guys just want to fight and if there were a SHW or an open HW, like in Pride, they wouldn't have to cut.

 

[g*r*b]

A "sherdogger idiot" must be like the village idiot for a village of idiots.

And those rugrats are quick and vicious little beasts, nothing like evading 9 year olds to test your cardio...

 

[JRY82]

yeah having a ko artist as champ would suck

You say "fucking idiot" because your anus is wrecked but, yes, even if you weigh 215 on fight night but cut weight the week before to hit the 205 limit, you are a duck. Yes, Rampage IS a big heavyweight. You act like these guys fight and then go home and jump into a bag of donuts and watch Walker - Texas Ranger until the next fight camp. They are in shape, year round.

Sorry, but Anderson and Hendricks should be fighting at heavyweight. That's why I can't understand why guys, like you, like to crap on Fedor and exalt jones and the other UFC guys who cut weight. You've seen Fedor and he could easily pull the chickenshit moves that Hendricks, Silva and jones pull in cutting weight but he doesn't. He used to fucking eats his donuts, finish watching "Walker", get off the sofa and kick ass. Same goes for Penn but I think his go-to snack was pork-rinds.

 

[Gamer007]

Francis is talented In many aspects of MMA, you guys sound like idiots smh.
