How is Ngannou so far with only 3 years of training?

[Straightcross]

6-1-0 and he first started training in July 2013 at the age of 26 without a background in any other martial arts. It's clear he is blessed with great genetics and athleticism (6'4 @ 250 lbs with pretty low bf is ridiculous) but even then it's ridiculous he got further in 3 years than most people who have been training since childhood do.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Fighting in a division with no depth helps.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Genetic freak.

Tall, super strong, great reach and very good reflexes.

Travis Browne Pride did pretty well with his base of college basketball too.

And accountant Bethe XD

I'm high on Ngannou, I think he'll make waves in the coming months.

 

[mbach4307]

He was able to stand up a few times fairly easy.

 

[Rational Poster]

He's a natural heavyweight fighting against a bunch of fat lhw.

The MMA version of Deontay Wilder?

 

[Taric]

HW division:
Punch people in the face ~ Win

The MMA version of Deontay Wilder?

Deontay Wilder has chicken legs

 

[Kinku]

Hw division lacks skill below the top 5. I feel like skill level between the top 5 and the rest is huge.

 

[qw3rty]

Inb4 "A level athlete" shit

At HW, only being in shape and having heavy hands you can go far

 

[sangreporsangre]

Maybe all those guys who said that LeBron could win the belt after 6 months training were on to something after all.

 

[cumafish]

Got that tst.

 

[mmafighterEU]

much BBC.

 

[soulsstealer]

MMA is shallow

 

[ShinyaAokiFan]

He has some naturally gifted attributes and the competition outside the top ten is piss poor

 

[Sgt Smith]

Explosive and athletic, obviously.

 

[McGangsta]

does the name BLACK BEAST mean anything to you?

Talent pool in MMA very shallow, if the entire NFL roster started training MMA full time in 3 years all champs WW or above would be entirely football players
