How come Khabib is favored to beat Conor in a rematch but not Stipe beating Ngannou in a rematch?

[Rajon Rondo]

Stipe grapple-raped Ngannou for 5 rounds and had him gassed after round 1. Yet Ngannou is still picked as the betting favorite to win the rematch

Conor literally put up a much better fight against his opponent and betting odds have Conor at +215 in a hypothetical rematch.

Conor won a round. Ngannou didn't. lul wut

 

[chance mccoy]

So I can make more money

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Stipe has lost a bunch of fights, has been ko-ed and has a lot of mileage.
Khabib not so much.

 

[tripleo]

Stipe didn't look invincible against Francis like Khabib did against Conor

pointless thread, we are really running out of things to talk about

 

[Pious Augustus]

Nah Conor didn't do any better than NnGgggaanu
Khabib's face didn't look anything like this

 

[StopDucking]

Because Ngannou has a good chance of beating Stipe if he doesn't punch himself out in the first round (which he most likely won't this time) whereas Conor has no conceivable path to victory.

 

[The Chosen]

Stipe has lost a bunch of fights, has been ko-ed and has a lot of mileage.
Khabib not so much.

One loss to DC is “losing a bunch of fights” what the...

 

[John of Arc]

Francis was actually a threat in the fight and for at least the first 10 minutes is a terrifying prospect for Miocic. He also has legit one punch turn your lights out power, Conor doesn't - even the Aldo KO required a knee drop from big John.

 

[Katsushyro]

Frankis is active and looking scary..

Conor is inactive amd suposedly living a unhealty lifestyle.

Also, khabib is more dominant than Stipe. Stipe has been KOd more than once, khabib was never even rocked.

 

[Masturbin]

Stipe didn't look that good in a physical sense and his fight I.Q doesn't seem that good anymore.
He had a masterclass agaisnt Francis and then forgot he could strike to the body

 

[Dana's Moonface]

Khabib dominated conor

Conors left hand had fuck all for khabib, all he had was cheating and a corrupt ref

Yet he still got emasculated and the rematch would be even easier

Don't get me wrong, I rate conor very highly and decided to ease up on him, as he is fighting a top contender. However, he isn't in khabibs league

 

[Aberlour]

Stipe grapple-raped Ngannou for 5 rounds and had him gassed after round 1. Yet Ngannou is still picked as the betting favorite to win the rematch

Exactly, Stipe couldn't finish a gassed novice with no ground game. Stipe is a good fighter but he is massively overrated. Frances is a better fighter now so should be favourite in my book.

 

[sampuncher]

Ngannou actually has built up solid wins since he last fought Stipe in Cain, Rozenstruik, JDS and Blaydes.

Conor.......fought Cowboy who was 5-5 in his last 10.

 

[Conor_Is_Overrated]

Pointless comparison.

Ngannou is a danger for every second they are standing. Stipe is getting older, have been in wars against Cormier. Meanwhile, Ngannou is destroying HW contenders left and right.

Khabib-Conor? It pretty much went as expected, and it would be pretty much the most probable outcome in a rematch as well.

 

[Dacha]

In HW it is impossible to be as dominant as in LW.

 

[krelianx]

Are you really so dense you can't see why the two cases are disimilar?

 

[Me&MrJones]

For McTapper it's only business.

 

[Mammothman]

It's like match-ups and fighters are different

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Cuz both favorites are partially hypejobs.

Conors power is overrated, it’s his shot selection and timing which is on point. He hit Nate with all he had but couldn’t time Nate like he could others, Nate will see the punch coming unlike these guys who wing at Conor.
