Pride’s best striker (CC) got outstruck by half of the opponents he fought in the UFC. Ngannou would have easily been the best striker in Pride.
You mean outcircled in big round octagon with no corners, and outwalled on wire fence wall?

What if Ngannou had to fight Derrick Lewis?
Ok, now STFU

*Implying Ngannou isn't already juiced to the gills but okay.Chances are, he'd probably be juiced in Pride. I think Roided Ngannou is unbeatable. Thoughts?
You're talking about a Cro Cop that was already fighting for 12 years when he arrived in the UFC and had over 60 professional fights. By the time Cro Cop lost to guys like Mir, Nelson and Schaub it was 2010/2011 and he was 15/16 years into his career. Furthermore, Cro Cop was not accustomed to fighting in a cage which is very different for a striker who's used to a ring. Those circumstances make a difference. Cro Cop in the early to mid 2000s was a very different fighter in Pride.
I don't doubt Francis could do well. But I don't think you can just use Cro Cop as a measuring stick so late in his career to determine that. As good as Francis is at KO'ing people, he still has flaws. He's looked great in his last three fights, but let's be honest.....all he's done is land a punch. The two fights prior when doesn't land that big shot he looks a bit lost. There were several guys in Pride that would give him problems.
Thoughs?
He might (you know, just MIGHT, TS, MIGHT)
Maybe
maybe he gets wrestled by those guys who have good wrestling
Maybe
Who knows
But if you are so sure that he is unbeatable on roids, go ahead and think that he is
Have no doubt
Let there be no "maybe" and no "might" in your vocabulary
Nostalgia is a helluva drug.Hed get subbed by Fedor, Big Nog, Herring and Barnetto...hed get wrestle fuqqed by Coleman and Randleman...hed get KOd by Mirko, Sergei, Semmy and Hunto.
Other than that, hed do well...probably beat Big Daddy and Don Frye.
One word for you- nostalgia. The grass was greener, sky was more blue and the girls were prettier. I’ve seen most of his fights. Not impressed. He couldn’t even compete with the best HW and LHW now. Stipe, DC, Jones and Francis would beat him soundlyHoly shit! You sir really are so wrong it’s not even funny
It’s sad really
You lost the best era ever and don’t even know it
I suppose he could send Fedor to a universe where a 34 year old athlete is in his prime .... that's one of the weirdest statements I've read, even by Sherdog standards.
Having said that, I've no idea what would happen if say 28 year old Fedor fought whatever age Ngannou you want, other than if someone gave me a time machine to test it I could think of a lot more interesting things to do that waste it on that.

Crocop.
Have you even seen the type of people Crocop fought ?
