"That Naga guy" and "Younggaychick".My thoughts exactly. I don't know how the fuck to pronounce either of them.

Ngannou's rise to the top reminds me of when Jon Jones was coming up through the ranks.
Everyone was supposed to be better than Jones. Better striking, more experience, better wrestling. All excuses, all wasted breath.
I would compare Ngannou with Rumble instead of Jones. Like Rumble, he is huge, very explosive, and has insane KO power. With Jones, you could see how talented he was in all facets of MMA. You could see his brilliant fight IQ, hunger, natural talent, and how rapidly he was improving his game with each fight.
OR, like most hype trains, it gets derailed badly. I don't know that it does or not, but Jones meteoric rise was the exception, not the rule, and he demonstrated a full and complete skillset on the way. Ngannou is a power puncher who's best wins are two guys with no chin between them. They're good fighters for sure, but conventional wisdom said that if a Ngannou punch whiffed them, they'd go down. We haven't seen him tested by anybody actually durable or with skilled grappling.Ngannou's rise to the top reminds me of when Jon Jones was coming up through the ranks.

Well I never said he could beat Cain, I don't even know if he could beat Stipe. I just said it can take you a long way, which is why he's fighting for the title. Also as much as I love Cain, I would be hesitant to even let him sniff a title shot. He can't be trusted to show up.Until you fight Cain. There`s a way to beat everybody.

Power and some decent TDD will take you a long way in the HW division.

Every interview I see, he’s so dismissive of Stipe like he’s just a stepping stone. In a really arrogant way. UFC obviously wants Ngannou to win. I am so interested in this fight. Let’s go Stipe.
He's bought into the Suredawg type hype. The fact that the UFC is gassing his ass up is only expediting the process.
One of these guys is getting knocked out. Whoever it is wouldn't surprise me when you're getting hit that hard.

Please Stipe send this guy with his stupid haircuts and attitude back to africa were he belongs.
Not among respectful martial artists.
