Whats best strategy Miocic should use for the fight with African monster Ngannou?

Fight strategy I believe is to get this man into the deepest waters you can; how will he react when lying on the bottom for a long time, how will he react in a 5 round fight as there is a lot of muscle mass there that needs lots of oxygen to drive forward, how will he chase a moving target, how does a 3rd or 4th round Ngannou behave as opposed to one who dispatches foes in the first 2 minutes or so. No question of his power as that is documented but the greatest fighters will take you out of your comfort zone quickly with an outstanding game plan. And they all can be knocked out Mr. Foreman said to Muhammad Ali said the "Rumble in the JUNGLE".
Not sure he can be held down, we'll see. Also has a great uppercut.
 
Somewhere between Bader/Johnson and Cain/JDS 2 & 3
 
Patiently time his takedowns, Ngannou is a huge guy so I can't see him having the greatest cardio so drag him through deep waters.

To burn a guy out, you have to make him work, no one has been able to accomplish that so far. He's very smart.
 
Catch nCannou flush on his china while hes throwing one of his sloppy ass hooks or haymakers....
celebrate wildy while cutting an indecipherable promo.....profit

Hopefully his rags to riches story will have made francis grounded and humble enough to accept the defeat graciously as so

Do what he does best.

Punch people hard in the face.

When you try and change up what got you to the top of the mountain that's when you fall off the cliff.
 
After the 1st minute when Stipe finds out he going to sleep , just fake an injury.
 
I'm pretty sure if miocic stay in the pocket he can do it huge damage on Ngannou
 
If Ngannou comes out smart and uses distance until Stipe rushes, he has got this. Stipe has got to get this fight to the cage or ground, unless he catches Ngannou bum rush'n. Speed is power.
 
fight like cain, fence brawl and takedown with sick g+p
 
Stick and move. TD's if possible. DO NOT BRAWL.
 
Avoid trading with him in the 1st round. Make it a long fight. We haven't seen Ngannou past the 2nd round. If Miocic makes the mistake of trading with Ngannou it could be a short night.
 
Stipe should ask Ngannous owners if he can buy him
 
Be extra cautious in the first rounds, wrestle him, tire him, stick and move, pick his shots. A bit like he beated Mark Hunt. Go for the kill in rd 3 or 4. Even with a plan like that maybe he clip him earlier and finish him in the early rounds, maybe he get KTFO
