Would u be surprised if Stipe KO’s Francis or is it impossible?

[true_fan]

We saw Stipe finish many fighters by KO but they’re not known for iron jaws but Francis can take bombs and shake it off! Can Stipe possibly just catch him on the button or is it impossible?

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

Definitely possible. It looked liked Stipe stunned Francis on the feet numerous times. Would not surprise me one bit, but I think he will win via decision again.

I would not be surprised if that happens late in the fight.

I would not be surprised if that happens late in the fight.

If he could accomplish just that it would propel him really high in the rankings

Thank you professor.

I think tko is much more likely, and should have happened in the last fight. But, the first round clearly took a lot out of both fighters.

Stipe connected clean a few times. Ngannou has a really decent chin. But, anybody can be knocked out with the right punch in the right spot.

 

[omawho402]

Absolutely not.

MAYBE an exhaustion/positional based TKO at best. Francis was exhausted, but when Stipe hit him it just seemed to do virtually no damage

Dude used to work in sand mines, might have a sandstone chin..

 

[Final Say]

Any result is plausible imo. Francis gets so tired that a mid to late (T)KO or sub could both happen.

 

[sabretitan]

We watched stipe dominate him.. so no ts it's not impossible

 

[Zaar]

Anyone can be KOed if they are tired

 

[Cooliox]

Stipe son'd Ngannou the first time around.


Stipe gave Ngannou PTSD that carried over to his next fight.


That's more brutal than any KO

 

[CroCopsLHK]

I cant wait for this fight

Sandstone erodes when exposed to moving water. So what you are saying is we need to hit Ngannou with one of these bad boys.

 

[po_thead]

Stipe has already shown the path to victory against Francis. A KO on the feet is possible, but unlikely

 

[Lychrel]

Fight will be fun to watch just for Ngannou's puncher's chance. Man has the touch of death like no one I've seen—he might have slim odds of landing it, but Stipe will have to be so, so careful…

I remember Stipe legit wobbled him at one point, but Francis chin is granite. He ate it and refused to quit for five rounds.

I don't think Francis chin is really THAT tested personally, Stipe was the only one to land a decent amount on him and even then not really many bombs.

Nothing is surprise in the HW Division

Especially in the HW division where the KO is very possible in every HW fight
