Thierry Sokodjou and Francis Ngannou.. Biggest hypetrains

Guys just give him a break and stop with the ridiculous comparisons. Sok had no cardio, no chin and no heart. N'Gannou simply had a huge adrenaline dump and needs to improve his wrestling.
He lost to the best HW on the planet FFS yet despite being tired, still managed to go the full 25 minutes and took all the shots flush.
Give him a few more fights to make him improve the grappling and composure and he'll be a killer.
 
hypetrain no. I believe he was rushed into the title shot a bit early but he lost in a championship fight to a seasoned vet.

ngannou has such untapped potential.

hope he finds a good coach/camp to make it all work..
 
Didnt Soko finish 2 top 5s back to back?

Yep. Both one-punch knockouts. That's the danger of having that kind of power. Land it clean a few times and people start to think you're actually good.
 
You can’t compare the two. Sokoudjou’s best moment was his back to back wins over Arona and Nog. That’s when the hype started. Downfall started when he joined the UFC.
Francis got many back to back wins in the UFC, plus he just fought for the title.

It's one fight, Ngannou could win 2 more and then get another chance at the title. I think we're being way too reactionary here.
There is just si much time left before he gets caught by USADA
 
- both jacked dudes from Cameroon
- both hit like trucks, literally
- both gas after the 1st round
- both look like dead fish on their back
- both hyped for quick KO's over 2 top ranked fighters
- both lost once on the ground before the hypetrain
