***Fury/Ngannou MEGA THREAD***

rakeleaves said:
Him vs Gane sold at least 500k. Not bad for a guy who the promotion is trying to bury. He isnt an A tier draw, but he's still a draw and clearly underpaid.

That's just the strength of the UFC.
The UFC could take 2 bums, make a decent HL reel of them training, call them knock out artists, hype them ESPN interviews, call them the 2 best fighters in the world and sell 500K ppv

Well Wilder is about as good a boxer as Francis and he has knocked out 41 out of 42 opponents. Tyson made Wilder look like an amateur for 20+ rounds yet got dropped 4 times and was seconds away from losing 2 of those fights. The whole sweet science thing dosent really apply in the heavies, everyone is going to get hit in a boxing fight over the course of 12 rounds, especially guys that big who have bigger targets and cant move out of the way as easily, the whole punchers chance isnt just something people say. Its happened time and time again through out the history of the sport especially in the bigger weight classes. Plus if this is MMA gloves as they seem to suggest than you bet your ass Francis got a real punchers chance.

No because every UFC would be 500k then... that isn't the floor.

Sorry ... do you mean the best in the UFC (present) or ever? Big fat NO.

Most HWs have a good chin & his good chin comes from his size.

The question is, how long can he maintain that? The only reason why he survived Stipes punch off the backfoot ... was size.

What happens if he eats more punches against guys as big as him or even bigger?

Ngannou's chin is definitely up there in terms of UFC all timers. He has taken big shots from Rozenstruik, Miocic, and Gane and never been KO/TKOd or knocked down in his professional career.

The biggest hitter who has ever landed on him was Rozenstruik, who appeared to land a relatively clean right hook, though the forward momentum of Ngannou may have parried some of the impact. Frank has a good poker face so it is hard to tell when he is truly hurt.

Fury would be likely to KO him but it would likely more of an attritive KO than one due solely to power.

He never ate a "big" shot from Rozen, from Stipe yeah (first fight) and the second shot off the backfoot, Gane hurt him a few times.

Like I said, his chin comes from his size and thats the reason why he survived the big shot (2. Stipe fight)

Easy to have a good chin when you got the size, your fights are short and rarely get hit & thats why Ngannou doesnt have one of the best chins ihmo ... maybe I have higher standards ... idk. Guys like Mark Hunt have one of the best chins.

Let's see how long his chin survives when he fights someone as big or even bigger than him & eats more punches.

He has a got chin and thats it imo.

How much has the worst selling HW title ppv in the last 5 years or so sold? 425K?
Click to expand...

No. Cormier Lewis was 250k... and Cormier is one of the biggest names in the sport after the Jones fights, and Lewis has always been a fan favorite. Plenty of HW title fights have been way below 500k. Cormier/Stipe had two big established names at HW, two of the all time GOAT fighters, and did 500k also in their 3rd fight.

Good news is that even if he's not a big draw, he should make a lot of money if this fight ever materializes, bad news is he's going to make the UFC community look really bad when he gets fucked up

fuck this fight

I wanna see Fury vs Ruiz, Joyce, Usyk, Joshua and the cuba guy
 
francis basically has to land one shot

how good he is doesn't matter. the 30M pay cheque is what matters at the end of it.
 
Hate shit like this, the thread, the fight, all of it.

Weak reply. Ngannou wasn't even aiming to KO Gane. If you actually look at the fight, Ngannou was going to the body early, then resorted to wrestling.

You like to talk a big knowledable game, but you don’t know shit if you think Francis actually touched Ganes chin. Because that's what you're arguing.

Frank Ngannou is demonstrably not as powerful as fanboys like yourself believe.

Sorry little buddy facts are facts.
