You really think he can beat Pav without first going through the other guys? You do know Aspinall lost in the regionals before right? Even after the Arlovski fight he said he learned a lot from the vetetan. He said he even gassed himself out trying to chase a finish in round 1.
None of them, Gane, Ngannou, Jones, Miocic... could've beaten top ufc hws of their time without first going through the gauntlet.
Who knows? Maybe AJ would've been scared of a takedown, or Francis would kick his leg... The variables are the fun here.I dont think nnganou, who is primarily a stand up fighter with his hands as his main weapon, could have done anything much differently.
All of them, even the initial two with Fatty and Alan. I literally gave you one example where Aspinall talked about it.There's a natural maturation process for any athlete.
But which fight do you think made Aspinall better?
By his own words Jon Jones has spent his entire life getting his shit kicked in by his NFL brothers... there are monster professional athletes out there that weigh 60+ pounds more than Jon while still being as equally fast, or faster.
MMA has weight limits. Real life does not.
Jones is a psychopath tho, most likely.I think Jones is too compassionate to be considered the most dangerous. It would probably be some psychopath or someone who is trained in krav maga or some 7 foot giant living in the mountains who hunts animals would be considered the most dangerous
I feel like the top HW wrestler would be athletic enough to close the distance, of course there is a chance the strike they catch coming in KO's them, but would be able to slam them in concrete and win.Top MMA HW wrestler, or just HW wrestler? Because if it's the latter, then they've probably never dealt with strikes and can definitely eat a knee, punch, shin etc on the way in. Heck, imagine even them getting sprawled on attempting a low single, then eating a super mario esque stomp to the back of the head.
His name is Francis Ngannou. You should look him up, since you apparently don't know who he is.Pretty crazy to think the majority of votes are saying no lol. I mean its a pro sport with thousands of competitors where you have to train a wide array of techniques in both striking and grappling and can make 6-7 figures per fight if you're elite. If theres someone out there who could beat the top MMA fighters without any additional training where the fuck are they? in another combat sport? in a cave somewhere?
I just don't think Ngannou is a very well rounded fighter. He may have developed into one eventually, but the way his talent is now, he would never beat Jones unless he landed a punch on Jones like he did on Overeem! A hail Mary punch. I admit, I am not overly impressed with Ngannou's skill set.And yet Ngannou beat Gane using what? ... Wrestling.
What makes u think he wouldn't have used kicks and Especially wrestling vs Fury and Joshua if it were allowed?
I don't think so. However that takes nothing away from the dangers they pose. There are folks out there who do not hesitate to kill and it's a switch not easily flipped.
Maybe I should have chosen I don't know. Meh...
Yeah right, Jones ducked a one trick pony fighter like Ngannou. Haters will always hate. Obviously you haven't watched Jones entire career.If Jones himself was as confident as his fans apparently are, he wouldn't have ducked Francis. But he did, so.
I think Jones is too compassionate to be considered the most dangerous. It would probably be some psychopath or someone who is trained in krav maga or some 7 foot giant living in the mountains who hunts animals would be considered the most dangerous
Like he can beat virtually beat any human alive in hand to hand combat? Meaning no rules. You can gouge the eyes, you can strike the throat. You can bite. All that craziness you can do in a real fight.
