Is Francis Ngannou the UFC HW GOAT?

[JKS]

Floyd didn't take his fight against Conor seriously and was hanging in strip club till 4am during the fight week.

He still dominated Conor bell to bell during the fight.

LOL, clearly you don't know Floyd my friend. He took Conor very seriously and prepared well for that fight. Don't let him hanging out and having a good time fool you. The reason why Floyd is 50-0 is because he takes everyone seriously and has never underestimated anyone in his career. Floyd was among the most focused and well prepared boxers ever, he takes no chances. Floyd may have thought it would be an easier fight considering Conor was 0-0 as a boxer, but that didn't stop him from taking the fight seriously. Athletes like Floyd have too much to lose to take anyone lightly, especially with 50-0 on the line. If Floyd somehow dropped that fight, it would haunt him for the rest of his life.

It's not that black and white.

"Not taking the fight seriously" means different things to different people. Maybe Fury not taking it seriously is a big deal, while for Floyd it's just a minor inconvenience.

Also, Floyd is regarded as one of the best to ever do it. Fury is just another HW champion

I can’t believe I ever though sherdog was better than Twitter or Reddit comment sections when it comes to mma. How are 58 percent of people saying yes?

Lol you have to be trolling... Ngannou beat an old out of prime Stipe... and that's more impressive than Stipe beating a prime Francis 5 rounds to 0....

You do realize that Stipe was Champion right when Ngannou knocked him out?

Talk about trolling...

Francis is the ufc goat, the true ufc champ (not bum jones) and Dana's worst fumble personified. This'll come back to haunt Dana 4 sure

Believing Frank the UFC GOAT is fine but if Jones is a bum then you really just shit on damn near every fighter on the roster to besmirch one man. Part of the reason Jones has one HW fight and fans can’t stop mentioning his name. It’s the folks that no matter if he has nothing to do with a situation still attaching or attacking his name. Basically he can’t be a bum with guys like you keeping his name relevant while he did absolutely nothing to be discussed here

He was 39 and hadn't beaten anyone but a 41 dc.. in 3 years

 

[blaccbeard]

Nope, still Stipe, who is the MMA HW GOAT, not just the UFC HW GOAT.

Put some respect on his name.

Oh, what a mediocre feat... being the only HW to ever beat DC in a fight

Clearly proves that Stipe was past his prime when he was UFC HW Champion and defending the belt as part of the most successful HW Championship reign in UFC history

LOL

1 title defense in mma and 0-1 in boxing,I don't think so

 

[Rationality]

Man what a stupid premise for a thread.

it was hilarious to see how Dana tried his PR hit job on him and it failed.

Stipe is not even top 5 hw. Hes a fireman who ducks fighting..

Stipe is retired, so he shouldn't be ranked at all. But all time he's obviously a top 5 UFC HW. I'd put him as the UFC HW GOAT.
