*Has Ngannou been rocked or knocked down before?*

[Harmonica]

Who the fook is Engon?

Frank Engon.

 

[Fesaine]

Ngannou concussed half of the fight...

I think you're the concussed one

[Fight Professor]

Cain does not have the power to stop Ngannou unless he is completely gassed and defeated.

 

[donkeyjr]

Dam, Francis got a chin, wtf.

 

[Azderiel]

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

Just because someone connects with a quick straight that doesn't make it a bomb even if it's deadly. What Ngannou throws are bombs. Stipe has always been known for being technical and not a bomb thrower. Sure he can throw them but that wasn't a bomb. Certainly wasn't a jab either though.

 

[WHITE ANDERSON]

No. That was more of a jab/punch.

Nothing like a "bomb".

stipe landed with his power hand
u obviously don't know what a jab is

he hit enganew with that immigrant mentality BOMB

 

[SpongeJoshSquareCheck]

People mocked Francis for the Stipe fight, but he showed incredible heart and durability. Stipe had the perfect fight and still looked pretty busted at the end.

People just seem to discredit Stipe in that fight. He did what no one else has been able to do to him

 

[Readybodisready]

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

Damn you got embarrassed in this thread. I look forward to the next time it happens.

 

[asdf122345]

He's got an iron chin. Cain may tired him out. But ring rust and age play a factor so I got the younger Ngannou by easy KO in round 1.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Doesn't matter. Cain is going to wrestlefuck him and destroy him in clich. Dude is fucked. He will give up or be crushed by Cain's TKO.

Francis has about 1 minute to finish this fight, after Cain gets a hold of him fight is over.

 

[Foxflechette57]

If that's your definition of "strong punch that proves a great chin", then you don't know much about anything.

same right from Ngannou would have knocked down Spit imo.
Didn’t have much weight in but still a good punch

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

No never seen him rocked or dropped, but at the same time I can't say there is too many fights where he has it put on him. He has dominated every fight I seen except 1 fight which was Stipe. The other loss with Black Beast.. I don't even know how you can call that a "fight", it was just a staring contest, nothing landed,

Is clich a slang for fast? Like seconds? or minuets?

 

[MuayThaiBX]

His problems with Cain, if he has them, will be volume and tenacity of Cain. Not his one punch power. His nightmare situation is somehow getting tripped to the canvas with a lot of time left in the round. The Stipe fight showed that if he is in vulnerable positions and taking volume of punches (like Cain brings) he goes full survival mode and can't find his way out. I could see Cain just slowly beating on him until Ngannou's goal slowly transforms into "survive to the bell" rather than "win by KO." Francis needs to be disciplined and pay attention to not getting his feet tangled or slipping etc. Being under Cain is the worst way this fight could go for him.

he looked terrible after the 1st round.

 

[Goldentrophy]

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?

He can pull a Congo and develop sub par grappling that just involves clinch work and knees to "catch his breath"

Well, we're screwed either way. Cain puts a beatdown clinic on him and holds the division up with his Mr Glass body. Ngannou wins and we have to put up with him as a top fighter until he crumbles again.

Platinum member sherdogger thinks a punch with the rear power hand is a jab. Lol

 

[90'SFAN-L80'SMAN]

stipe and ngannou rocked or at least stunned each other. the problem ngannou has is that stipe was able to take him down with so much ease that cain will be much more succesful in that area as he is a better wrestler, stronger, and has better cardio than stipe.

man.. cain looked done with age and injuries. i dont think anyone knew he'd be so far gone once in the octagon. not to mention putting him up against the hardest hitting and biggest genetic freak after 2.5 years away in the hw division was a very tough challenge. should have matched him against lewis or blades in his return. connor mcgregor can do it because he fights at 155. you cant play around like that in the hw division.
