Can anyone stop Francis and finish him?

[true_fan]

I think Stipe has the best chance to beat him if he comes in bigger and covers well. I don’t know about Beast, I have a feeling that Francis is going to blitz and slaughter him this time around, though I would love to see a war!
Who can stop this guy Francis?

 

[Breaking]

Of course he can be stopped.

He won’t be, though.

Not anytime soon, anyway.

Only a red light can stop the awesome power of a Ford fiesta

It's heavyweight. Any of the top guys can land a solid punch and take out Francis. The question is can they land a solid punch before they get knocked out

 

[BobblyStruggles]

I don't think he's unbeatable, it's HW after all. It's difficult to keep a long winstreak among highly ranked heavyweight fighters.
He's hard to KO that's for sure.
Stipe slightly stunned him his last fight, but Ngannou quickly KO'd him after that.

 

[Ancient Warrior]

The division is kind of empty, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone catches him.

You take a risk with such a brazen attack.

People think it's cope by Stipe fans to say this, but Stipe genuinely hurt Francis right before he got KOd. Francis just has an insane chin/recovery, but he can't rely on that forever. So it's definitely possible he gets KOd in the future after he gets older, it's HW after all.

Also, if Jon were to beat Francis it would be my submission imo. In one of Francis' pre-UFC fights his opponent was working a submission attempt for quite a while - and he could've got it! - but the referee stood them up.

 

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Prime Cro Cop would've stiffen him with a liver kick.

 

[ElLunico]

Of course. It's HW and Francis is a striker who doesn't mind exchanging blows.

Look how many shots he took in the 1st Stipe fight and even the 2nd fight he took a really good shot before sending Miocic to the shadow realm.

One those shots could land perfectly and turn his lights off one day. HW just a different sport all those guys can KO each other with 1 punch

It's funny because the only one who ever hurt Frank was Stipe.. lol. 36 yrs old Stipe went 50-44 to Frank and 39 yrs old Stipe was the only man who actually landed a clean powerful shot to Frank during that 3 years gap.

Let him take a few more punches the chin/recovery time will get worse

 

[Goatenstein]

Logan or Jake would put him to sleep in MMA, boxing, BJJ, and judo.

Stipe THOUGHT that he genuinely hurt Francis.

He was incorrect, ergo...

Who can stop this guy Francis?

He has worked on his technique thankfully but he is still raw. He could easily walk onto something nasty. It wouldn't require a murderous puncher either.

bbc beast already fucked him up the first time and will do it again.

 

[Normot]

If Nate Diaz can make it to the 24th minute he has a chance.

Wow, its a good thing you came to Sherdog to ask that question, because your going to get some serious, well thought out, educated answers.

 

[Johnnny]

If Francis comes in overconfident to a trilogy with Stipe, he might come forward swinging wildly as he usually does to score his KO's in less than a minute. Stipe could beat him to the punch, and put him down if he lands perfectly.

Lewis certainly has the power to KO anybody, but Francis may choose to fight very tentatively against him again.
