I'm waiting for you to tell us that Ngannou's grappling was actually massively evolved from the Pride era and it only looked poor due to Stipe's amazing technique of leaning on him?
You are so desperate that i don't even know why i am losing time respoding to you.
You and some of those Pride nut huggers live in a different reality from a different space time dimension, that's the only rational answer.
Ngannou isn't exactly in the UFC because of his grappling.
The difference between Ngannou and guys like Diakase, Abdul Razak Alhassan, and Galore Bofando is that Ngannou is a 265 pounds heavyweight, has a huge size and power advantage over anyone, meanwhile those guys are fighting opponents their size that cuts weight like everybody does in their division.
This is your boy in one of his victories over a "mythical beast" in Semmy Schilt, another giant man like Ngannou, in which he displayed his legendary grappling skills.
Schilt was so skilled that he let himself being throw like one of those grappling dummies leaning over Fedor, then he hugged Fedor from the bottom for the whole fight.
He was so stubborn in doing the worst thing possible that he hugged Fedor in bottom half guard and bottom mount, like a guy in his first grappling lesson would do.
Miocic was leaning over Ngannou and using half nelsons because that was the only way to keep Ngannou down and drain him for the path of least resistance.
Ngannou was fighting for the underhook for bottom half guard, in the second round when he was less tired he got up using the underhook, Stipe was using a whizzer and his forearm to pin down Ngannou's head, basically Stipe was countering the counter, we are talking about a different level here than the fight i linked above.
Stipe did very little damage to Ngannou in a 5 round fight because he had his two arms busy to keep Ngannou down, Ngannou wasn't even an easy prey like you think he was, a guy like Fedor wouldn't even be close in taking him down.
What people like you that never trained a day in their live fail to understand, it's easy to look good against an outmatched opponent, Anthony Hamilton looked like a world beater against Ruan Potts.
Your heroes like Fedor and Nogueira looked amazing against guys that couldn't see a triangle or an armbar from a mile or guys that pinned themselves down like Semmy Schilt because nobody ever told them what to do, meanwhile you can't see Stipe's amazing technique because Miocic is fighting good guys.
All the best ground and pounds fighters in 2018, or ground fighters as a whole really, because nobody fights from his back anymore, are guys that are masters in pinning down the opponent while having one arm free to punch, like Nurmagomedov, Cormier, Jones, Demetrious Johnson, and these guys are able to do that against world class competition that fights back, stand up or scramble.
If you can't see or understand that because you are biased and full of shit it's not my fault.
