Ngannou is NOT Derek Lewis

[djason1988]

I'm seeing more and more this sentiment that since Cyril clowned BB, he's gonna do the same to Ngannou. Where the fuck is that coming from?

Ngannou has significantly better technical striking than Lewis, and is far faster and more durable. I don't think we've even seen him rocked, and he crossed the cage in a heartbeat to take out Roz.

Gane is going to have to fight an absolutely perfect game for at least 3 rounds, but more likely 5 as ngannou has never been stopped.

As an aside to that, Cyril is an awesome kickboxer for a HW, but his defense is based on his footwork and reach. He keeps his hands low and doesn't move his head much, and that seems like a bad recipe against Ngannou.

All in all, cyril definitely has a solid chance at winning, but writing off Ngannou is absolute insanity.

BB beat Francis

It's the norm when an Ngannou fight is booked, "he's another derrick lewis sloppy brawler, this time he's going to get exposed by the more technical fighter", just for him to get yet another highlight reel lmao

Such a funny cycle, can't wait till Ngannou KO's Cyril

 

[RockyLockridge]

I actually think that lewis is more tactical and better at setting up the knock out

 

[mjfan23]

People said Rozenstruik would beat him too and he’s too technical for Francis

 

[BenjaminDuffy]

Derrick Lewis isn't a sloppy brawler. Francis Ngannou isn't necessarily a more technical striker than him.

BB and Francis have never actually fought

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I never use mmath and I find it hard to take anybody seriously that does. I think the basic comparison is that they both have one punch power. Other than that I see no direct comparison between the two. In fact, I think they are almost polar opposites in almost any metric you choose to use.

Hey that was the most intense staring since Severn Shamrock 2

Just accept that the Gane Trane is going to leave Bumgannou flattened it's wake and move on with your life.

 

[Poirierfan]

I think Francis will get touched up a lot just like Lewis did against Gane. However, if Gane gets touched cleanly by Francis, then nighty night. I have Gane winning via late stoppage or decision.

That’s what I expect too.

 

[Scheme]

I agree, Lewis at least lasted a couple of rounds with Game. Ngannou gets flattened in the first

BREAKING!!!!!!: Francis Ngannou is NOT Derrick Lewis!

I do agree that Francis has that Wilder type aura that you have to be perfect for 5 rounds he has to be perfect for 1 second.

idk hard fight to pick.

But they’re so similar looking!

My sis lives in Perth. She can't tell them apart either. Must be a WA thing.

MMA Math is great. It's actually the only math I know and I use it for gambling. It has always worked well for me lol.

 

[Bubba32]

True but Gane is going to piece everyone up at HW like he did BB. Gane is just too fast and technical for any HW.

It is. It’s the heat. Everyone just kinda blurs together.
