Media !!! Is Francis Ngannou Really That Powerful As The White Belts Claim? !!!

[CasualMMAfanSince2010]

Everyone, including WMMA has K.O power (Zhang, Andrade, Namajunes, Cyborg, Nunes).

But does he have that Anthony Rumble and Shane Carwin freakish power? That's the real question

Bait thread but I'll bite, Rumble struggled with arlovski and went to decision against him at HW

Francis sent him flying in the air

 

[Beherit]

francis is not a juiced ballon like ubereem and other juiced fighters. He is a rock, dense, look at the thickness of his joints ( knees, ankle, wrist etc ), he is a true genetic beast like we rarely see.

 

[I am only 19]

Look at his chest! Tiny!!!
Shoulders, tinyyyyy...
Back... Tiny..

Do you actually Lift bro?

Tiny?
What are you? Like 7 ft tall, 400 lbs? =)))

Let him punch you in the face then get back to us with your conclusion

 

[Huligani]

I don't blindly buy into hype but to me he has proven to have the most power of any MMA fighter I've ever seen. I don't feel it's necessary to go over all of his knockouts to illustrate this.

He makes me want to see what Wilder would do in MMA gloves.

I say we drive into his punch at 30mph in a Ford Focus and see if the car is destroyed.

This is the only correct way to measure punching power by UFC standards. All other methods are inherently flawed.
UFC performance institute confirmed that this is the most accurate science.

A man of science I see

Yeah, Francis Ngannou has freakish power. I don’t care about small traps and underdeveloped legs, some fighters just have natural power. Deontae Wilder for example, likely hits harder than anyone in the world and he’s tall and lanky. Much thinner than Ngannou.

Just to clarify, I do think some people on this forum overrate his power by saying he hits as hard or harder than heavyweight boxers like Joshua, Wilder, etc. That’s clearly nonsense, but in terms of MMA I don’t see anyone showing power like Ngannou.

TS is Nate Diaz.

I would very much like to drive that vehicle.

Another variation could be to actually take turn driving the car into Francis, and then having Francis punch the car whilst stationary and see which one can take the most hits.

Or we could even have Francis drive the car into someone else at 30mph, then punch them, and then ask the volunteer which one killed him the most.

@MEAN357 your input here would also be helpful.

 

[Bad Karate]

Are we really questioning his power? Lol have you seen the man fight?

The correct question is: Have you seen a Ford Escort drive into a person at full speed.
That is how powerful Ngannou is.

 

[Scurvydawg]

No idea. We need a volunteer to get punched in the gut by all the Heavyweights and come back with a google doc reporting juicy data. With graphs and shit!. It is the only way to know for sure. I will not volunteer for this. Better to be a live chicken then a dead hero.

Also the pic is deceiving. Can only judge how much of a monster Nagannou is when he is beside a regular human like Ariel or Megan olivi. Then can see he is a giant.

His arms are bigger then Rogan's HGH bullfrog head. That is huge!!!! Look at the size of his hands. Those are bear paws!

Not saying Ngannou doesn't hit harder than Rumble, but if we are being honest Rumble did pretty much that same to Arlovski, the only difference was the round had ended so the ref stopped Rumble from finishing him. Arlovski was in that exact same position. In the later rounds Rumble gassed but Im pretty sure Ngannou would have gassed as well.

 

[kevinramsdell]

Derrick Lewis intimidated Francis so much he was scared to even throw a punch.

 

[eddi]

he does have Ko power but has cardio issues. Stipe did well against him by not striking with him.

Stipe did strike a looooot with him( and dominated the striking rocking ngannou) in the first round, he had a gameplan though so he wrestled him later, it would be retarded and selfish not to during a title fight

God grief.. That's actually quite disturbing...
How did he leave the ground? It makes no sense...

That looks like he moved
3+ feet away too..
Yeeesh..

Everything you're saying is assumption based, what I posted is what actually happened.
