Can Ngannou come back from this?

One can only go up after a performance like that.
 
if ngannou continues to fight like that from now on, he might be the first non-wrassler to make my sig....
 
To be honest we may be witnessing something rare here.
I can see him fading away quickly.
Maybe he just doesn't have it mentally
 
Let him fight that fat slob Taivusa.

Yes, why can't he? Plenty of fighters have had to figure out their mental game to come back. There was a time when people thought vitors career was over when his sister got kidnapped and murdered. People assumed he'd never be the same when he was fighting tenative. Same with lawler, once he went to strikeforce and up to MW people figured he'd middle around there for a while then fade into obscurity never reaching the hype he once had as a young mfs prospect. Not all guys get past their roadblocks, but it's definitely doable considering he's not some aging relic.
 
I think he fights on the prelims next couple fights till he proves he can pull the trigger again
 
I dunno. He seems broken. Maybe give him like Junior Albini or something
 
It was bizarre, I thought for sure he was waiting to save his gas and would unload in round 3, but that never happened.

Its hard to say how much of it was gassing against Stipe, how much was the mental pressure on him after how big the fight was hyped, or how shook he was standing across from Black Beast having that right hand cocked.

They were both tentative to do anything after the fight was hyped as a first round ko, so I guess UFC Marketing TKOed both of them via timidity.
 
I have no idea what the hell that was last night? But if he is so scared to engage now after losing that it’s the third round and he has yet to land a single significant strike yet he still won’t close the distance and engage. I think it’s time to retire.
