I say that as a Ngannou fan. I liked what i saw from Ngannou against Gane. I liked that he favored his grappling and made the right adjustments. I think he has a great team with him. And i don't understand why some talk about panic wrestling when we watch MMA. Ngannou felt strong and paced himself for a five rounds fight.
BUT i think young HW Cormier would have given him problems almost everywhere. His pace, his level changes, his low center of gravity would have been really efficient against the cage with big Frank. You have to give him a dog fight, not a karate point fight (i like Gane too, but he didn't come with the right gameplan).
Anyway i think Cormier could have been the best HW ever had he stayed there from the beginning. We didn't call him black Fedor for nothing !
