Explain how he looked old and slow? He's never been a crazy explosive guy in the first place. He looked fucking slow vs Overeem too. Junior dropped him multiple times. Stipe never had this awesome reaction time so why pretend he did? If anything his chin looked better than ever in his last fight.
The game caught up to him and Francis is superior. I love Stipe but his fanboys suck
Maybe you should rewatch the first fight or is it too much to bare for a stalking fanboy like you to see his idol dominated for 5 rounds?
That was a younger Stipe(Who was already declining physically as well) who still had great reflexes and effective upperbody/head movement. He baited Francis the whole fight, dodged 99% of his strikes with movement and was never a stationary target, and used Francis' 265lb momentum against him.
The old man we saw in the most recent fight had his feet stuck in cement, never was able to move his head and was slow as hell,. Exactly what he looked like in the 2nd DC fights, with a slight improvement in the 3rd fight. And that had nothing to do with Ngannou's improvement, he can't grab Stipe's head and stop it from moving around and dodging his strikes.
But the difference is astounding. He has never looked that good again since that first FN fight. You're being dishonest and childish by not acknowledging that.

Francis improved a lot, stipe wasn’t ready. Still a winnable fight for stipe, no doubt
nganou is not that good , he is a wilder of mma . Stipe in his prime ragdolled him , put 33 year old stipe with any version of ngannou and stipe will come out on top 8 times out of 10.

I bet you'll be singing a different tune when Ngannou is the same age.
You did zero sports in your life I see it. Stipe wasn’t in his prime in the first fight either , he was 35 , he was on a decline. Francis was 31 and you think he wasn’t in his prime because he lost , right lol?????Ngannou was in his prime , but stipe wasn’t shot , that’s why francis got rag-dolled . You can learn to wrestle, to strike or do anything, you can manipulate your hormones and look like a specimen in your 40’s , but you can’t manipulate your reflexes and they on a rapid decline after 30 . Technically after 25, but after 30 decline is significant.
what exactly did he improve? His english?

Whatever you say boy.
Clown’s logic is simple, to them Ngannou is the best no matter how irrational that sounds , nobody beats him while he is in his prime and when he loses ( I see it happening really soon) they will claim he was shot. Basically like mike tyson, he was the best while crushing cans and when he lost they just claimed it was not a prime tyson, because prime tyson can’t lose.
That’s what I said moron. You can learn and improme with age , but that won’t mean much if your reflexes are not there anymore. I don’t give a shit what you did or didn’t do in your life soy boy. Three things are obvious and that’s your low IQ, low Test and zero knowledge about sport .

Big Nog can get dropped by Francis and survive. he got kicked by Prime Mirko when his legs looked like they belonged on a horse and still got up. he got KO'd by a fucking piledriver from a 400lbs steroid monster and woke up with the next punch. who's not to say Ngannou wakes him up too when he goes for his patented hammerfist on a downed opponent?
i think you're right that Ngannou is a beast, but you're also selling the legendary fighters a little short here.
Can you tell me how was he better?? Because I am certain , the only difference is that stipe was much worse in the second fight.
Are you stupid? I mean, yes of course, but really, that much?
