White: Ngannou could be the next big thing, literally and figuratively

[Meathead Jock]

I would put him behind Garbrandt, if Cody beats TJ, I think he will be on path to stardom.

Will still be a giant tool, but a star none the less.

 

[PEDS Help me Post]

How da fuck Ngannou deserves to fight Overeem?

His only significant win is old and chinny Arlovski who was renked N7.

He must fight fight JDS / Rothwell first to deserve a fight with N2.

WTF?

He fought Arlovski when Andrei had already lost 3 in a row...... and Ngannou is now ranked 4th because of that win..... that's how bad the UFC HW division is right now.

USADA sees this and decides to drug test him more

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

His lack of English is a real impediment too. Sure, he can be a star within the MMA world, but to elicit the casual fanbase he needs to speak english and have a personality.

Yeah very true, without good English its very hard, and his personality is very polite, he is a gentleman. Thats a very good thing in real life, many people lack manners these days, so thats a great thing... but in combat sports its not really gonna get you anywhere lol

He doesn't have to be rude, but you need to have a persona that the public either adores or hates to really pique their interest

 

[elwani]

It would be amusing if you forgot to type the colon in your title.

 

[UFC=Pride]

He doesn't talk good enough English that means limited trash talk that won't sell.

 

[CereserBr]

Hes great

 

[Toco]

Did you watch his fight against Hunt?

so one fight that this may have happened? and ngannou isn't a 40 year old fighter

and most of his former opponents will be cut any day now.

Bojan Mihajlović is 0-3 in his last 3 UFC fights (already cuT)

Luis Henrique is 1-2 in his last 3 UFC fights

Curtis Blaydes is 2w 1 NC in his last 3 UFC fights

Anthony Hamilton is 0-3 in his last 3 UFC fights

Andrei Arlovski is 0-3 in his last 3 UFC fights (and was it before he fought Francis)

 

[UJustGotChaeld]

Francis Ngannou

I heard him and Houston Alexander were both for real.

Yeah I think Blaydes is the only one that has much of a future. Luis Henrique is still pretty young at 24 but doesn't seem like he's ever going to be a world-beater. Blaydes might be though.
