The man that brutall knocked out Ngannou, the most unstoppable force UFC had ever seen. 6ft6 of pure explosive athleticism. Who is the first UFC fighter that could stop this monster?
Playing devil's advocate.In MMA? Probably starting at Makhachev and then every champ moving up would beat his ass.

If Joshua replicates the rush that Ngannou did against Rozenstruik, how are fighters like Islam going to survive that? We've seen what Ngannou's punching power does the UFC HEAVYWEIGHTS, Joshua is at a different level when it comes to punching power and athleticism. I'm not convinced he wouldn't just run through guys like Islam.
That's fair. I reckon he'd be a pretty significant favourite if he got 6-12 months to work on his gameplan and TDD though.He might have a puncher's chance, of course. But he'll most likely be on his back within throwing the first 2-3 punches. If one of those lands he might just get the KO.

Ngannou was barely beaten by Stipe (the GOAT of HW MMA) before he bothered to train TDD, after which he ran through Stipe easily. But he didn't need any TDD to have a brutal knockout spree in the HW division, he just knocked out everyone in the first exchange. Why couldn't Joshua do that to way smaller fighters?I hate the guy but Islam strangles any boxer and probably 2-3 back to back to back that's how easy it would be.
