Francis Ngannou Vs Anthony Johnson

[GetSmoked]

He retired for a reason bro

He made a statement that he would love to return to the UFC but only in the heavyweight division and would love to face Jon Jones at HW.

Rumble will have significantly slowed by now.. I'd favor Ngannou in the speed department TBH. This is a fight where the first good punch probably wins.

Unless Rumble gets a takedown!

When big LHW fighters move up to HW. They tend to be much faster, skilled and have more cardio than HW fighters.

Usually but rumble is a pumped up 285 now. He’s a true HW, not a big LHW moving up anymore.

Francis probably will have a speed advantage

 

[Raise Your Fist]

Francis would take his head clean off
Rumble would have less cardio than before and it was already bad

 

[Has23]

Give rumble a 3 month camp to get acclimated to hwt and I think he knocks ngannou out 1st round. With that being said I think he beats a lot of the hwts maybe minus D.C. And possibly stipe

 

[John41285]

Double ko. Francis connects with an uppercut while Rumble lands an overhand at the exact same time

Who would win in a fight at HW between these two punching power freaks?

Francis Ngannou

Heavyweight version of Anthony Johnson

Who would you bet on? Once these two monsters step into the cage together. It'll cause an explosion in the octagon arena.

wouldn't watch after the Ngannou Lewis fight.

rumble frame is not for hw, he is 230 lbs max in shape

 

[usadaguy]

Anthony at hw would be a lot slower and probably gas out in 1 round. His current size comes from bodybuilding type exercises which do nothing for your stamina or speed

Exactly, Rumble did bodybuilding training what we can see, currently Im sure his cardio is worse than Ngannou cardio and I think Ngannou is even faster plus he's bigger.
Rumble should start change huge muscles for more stamina, train cardio very hard and come back as heavyweight.

When big LHW fighters move up to HW. They tend to be much faster, skilled and have more cardio than HW fighters and I'm not saying AJ would win against Ngannou but I'm clueless about this fight. UFC really needs to make this fight happen. It'll be more hype than Khabib Vs Tony Ferguson.

Rumble couldn't put away glass jawed Arlovski at heavyweight.

 

[dog y]

That dude was fighting at MW...

WW actually. He was scheduled to fight Vitor at MW but missed weight by some 13lbs. After that, never below LHW again.

 

[blaseblah]

I don't think Rumble's power translates, otherwise he should have easily KO'd Arlovski.

 

[Ace70 V2]

If Rumble was still active I'd definitely favor him. But Ngannou should be the favorite.

How is rumbles head so fat? His head looks like a fucking ham

I don't do technology well. This is an old thread in which Rumble talks aboutsparring Ngannou


Cliffs: he hits hard as fuck

 

[NGute87]

I'd take Anthony Johnson

Maybe but Rumble would be moving up from WW lol

 

[Iron Nick]

Maybe but Rumble would be moving up from WW lol

He was, in all fairness, far from being a natural welterweight though.
