*Has Ngannou been rocked or knocked down before?*

[MakeSherdogGreatAgain]

No. He has been hit with good shots though, and he took them just fine. A couple of them were from Stipe. There are 2 specific ones that are gifs on this very thread. There seems to be some debate on them being "not that hard"...

Some of you don't understand striking for shit. The first one that someone called "a jab" is a short, hard, straight right. Stipe clearly turns his hips into the punch and that would've badly hurt a lot of other guys. On top of that, it was a counter. Ngannou throws a good jab that Stipe slips, and then as soon as he shifts his weight to throw, what appeared to be an uppercut, the nice right is landed by Stipe. Besides being off balance, Ngannou took it just fine. Again, that punch would've badly hurt a lot of other guys.

The other punch, Stipe got full extension on, and it was also a counter. Once again, Ngannou ate it just fine. The man has a very solid chin.

If that's your definition of a jab then you don't know much about anything.

If that's your definition of a bomb then you possibly have down syndrome.

I have sneaking feeling that Engon will outstrike Cain, but Cain will outgrapple Engon. This is going to be a competitive fight. Cain is going to have to use more jiu jitsu in this one, because Engon is heavier and can move well. If Cain gets on top, he has to pin Engon down first.

 

[Goldentrophy]

Big question is if he will have an iron chin that will last a decade or does he go on permanent queer street once his chin is cracked in the next fight or two?

Jimi Manuwa style and no grappling background to fall back on.

 

[Dacha]

Often it is rolling with the punches, sometimes it is strong chin and neck.

Ngannou concussed half of the fight...

 

[NationWideNinja]

No. That was more of a jab/punch.

Nothing like a "bomb".

Do you even know wtf a jab is?

 

[Shrewms]

Ngannou concussed half of the fight...

What's messed up is Ngannou was almost submitted via a kimura in that first round, but the ref stood them up, like wtf?!?

 

[NationWideNinja]

Why would I? It wasn't a punch to prove a great chin. It had nothing behind it.

It was a well timed counter cross right on the button and Stipe put his hips in it. Stipe laid out Werdum while walking backwards with lesser strikes.

 

[Smalltownboy]

I know he has a good chin. He's not like those heavy hitters with a glass chin, like Overeem or Arlovski. He's more of the JDS, Nelson kind of chin.

Easy on the OG's pal, Arlovski and Overeem only have weak chins now due to years of trail blazing wars!
Both used to be able to walk through bombs. Have some respect good sir!

Ngawho?

I guarantee if he hit you with that you would be calling it a bomb after you woke up.

The way Stipe uses his frame, his power shots are all short range like that.

 

[Caio]

Looked like it hurt Stipe more than it hurt Ngannou

Beastly chin.

 

[StoneWT]

Jimi Manuwa style and no grappling background to fall back on.

Yep. I think he'll be taking circus fights in Asian countries and American Indian casinos after the first no-debate hard shots that clearly rock the shit out of him and/or (T)KO him. Getting wrestle fucked by Stipe made him fight like shit versus Beast. How will he fight after someone beats him so hard he wakes up a different race?

 

[Harlekin]

No. That was more of a jab/punch.

Nothing like a "bomb".

You are fucking retarded and don't even know the basic punches. 15k posts....

 

[dog y]

Also Stipes power is very deceiving. It doesnt even look like he hits that hard watch Stipe KO Reem on the ground.his technique is better than most HWs. Also wasnt he a golden glove boxer i mustbe read it somewhere. Stipes power is fkng legit. Not same level as Ngannou but he does have donkey level punch.

Golden gloves remind me of stephan bonnar.
But yes.

Engon Engon Engon Engon

Who the fook is Engon?

 

[YouCrazyIntheHeadMan]

If that's your definition of a bomb then you possibly have down syndrome.

So a bomb has to be huge ass telegraphed overhand coming from a miles a way in your point of view? I guarente you with if you correctly turn your back feet forward, use your hips and retract your left hand while you throw that straight right hand IT Will Carry a lot of Power. A good punch is not always the Most obvious thing, There a lot of Small detail you can Do with your body to maximixe your punching power. A Quick sneaky straight punch can be deady because you dont see IT coming. That's why There is lots of KOs happening with one-two combination (jab-straight hand). Gastelum is good a this, think of how he knocked bisping
