"Not once in a lifetime"?

Damn shame,
Not everyone is on RR's level i guess
 
Not once ever?

Joe showing some caution in his hyperbole post Ronda
 
Just watch a football game. It's just that the best athletes don't go to MMA because they get paid crap.
 
A HW with one punch KO power?

News flash Joe, we've seen that already. Way to hype shit up but damn, he didn't learn from the "Machida Era" bullshit.
 
Ngannou is the best mma heavyweight athlete ever, but..

That's going to far..

That would put Ngannou in the top 166 athletes in the whole of the United States..

We've never seen it with that length, strength, size, and speed though.

And saying ngannou is the best mma heavyweight athlete ever isnt going too far?

Miocic, Overeem, JDS all are his height. Shorter reach but they have speed and have been KOing people longer. It's just a new wave for people to ride because Ngannou's KO is more recent. The same people who act as if Ngannou is a "once in a lifetime fighter" so will be the first ones to call him overrated or say he wasn't that good anyway IF Miocic wins.

They're all lacking attributes.

Physical attributes compared to him, sure. But I'm talking about attributes that actually matter. Miocic has better striking, better wrestling/grappling and better cardio (we haven't seen Ngannou in 5 full rounds). There's a reason why the "physical specimens" of divisions never win a championship or stay at the top very long. I'm not saying that Ngannou can't win, but y'all kill me when y'all act like Miocic is a scrub.
 
Randleman is the best HW athlete ever imo
 
What is he lacking? HE has them all. HE has the speed, the power, the size, the length, the strength, he's got it all.

Possibly cardio. We don't know yet.
off the top of my head....technique

The guy has been in a boxing gym for nearly a decade and doesnt establish a jab, throws wide looping punches with all his power behind them and drops his hands often....he's ripe for the picking for a guy with fundamentals....blaydes was on the right track and troubled ngannou by establishing a jab

Im not trying to shit on the guy...but these things are glaring
