[AndrewGolota48]

But he has never trained grappling, right? Rogan and co coming with that propaganda...

He doesn't look great

 

[Leone510]

That is why he is taking time off because now all the bandwagon jumpers are admitting if he was at a lighter weight he would not even be UFC material, he hits hard that is it

In Rogan's defense, I don't think he said Francis had never trained grappling. Just not in the lead up to the fight.

Lol! Riiiight. Kinda like before this last fight Schuab said multiple times how Francis trains with an Olympic wrestling team and they couldn’t take him down. Now he NEVER trains on the mat. GTFOH

 

[Taric]

He doesn't look great

He murdered the first guy, who was half his size.
He lost to the second guy, who was a little smaller than him.

Definitely not great.

Judging by the way he grappled in that video he's a pure top game grappler that is used to getting his way because of his size. Doesn't seem to have much in the way of ingenuity or fluidity in transitions. When put on his back he's like a fish out of water. 4/10. Would not bang.

 

[Grr]

Simple, Schaub's an idiot, and sometimes Rogan is too.

Schaub talks about the D a lot. He’s a buffoon and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Now he says any wrestler would dominate Ngannou and conveniently leaves out Blaydes.

Lol! “One Hundred Percent.”

 

[dfoster]

didn't see a whole lot of grappling

 

[Todd498]

The guy is such a goon. He seems to like to kinda discredit Stipe a lot too. In his little retarded subtle Schuab way.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

He doesn't look great

There's a distinction between training something and being great at it, e.g. Jake Shields decades of striking.

 

[Hylix]

Meh, he looks mediocre against guys 30-50lbs smaller than him.

Not saying he doesn't have grappling experience, I am sure he does, but this is a dumb ass example. The dude was gassed after about 3 minutes, and that is the main reason he lost.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

He was working his wrestling (defensively) leading up to bout with wrestlers. Joe be tripping

 

[Taric]

Not saying he doesn't have grappling experience

Francis has 5 years total grappling experience. Wrestling, BJJ, Judo, everything.
Super green for a 31 year old.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

I neither know nor much care about Ngannou's training regimen, but based on what he showed against Stipe, it's easier to believe he rarely trains grappling than that he trains with Olympic wrestlers.

 

[Bubblun]

Another match

 

[Roop Holstry]

The guy has multiple submission wins on his record. Of course he trained grappling. He’s just not that good at it.
