Ngannou has a Jedrzejczyk feel about him.

Nice way to discredit 2/4 of Stipe's best career wins.
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.
Nagannou's wrestling is going to be exposed sooner or later. He can't wrestle and I highly doubt his wrestling is getting much improvement working in france.
If I was stipes coach I would be pressuring him to take a offensive wrestling approach to this fight, but everyone wants to just stand and bang these days so im expecting Nagannou to knock stipe down.
Cardio?Power and some decent TDD will take you a long way in the HW division.

Please Stipe send this guy with his stupid haircuts and attitude back to africa were he belongs.
Not among respectful martial artists.
Fuck Nu nu ga nu
True on the Overeem fight. Overeem fought with absolutely awful standup tactics considering who he was fighting. Ngannou's best KO punch, which has shown to be more devastating than any other punch he throws, is his uppercut. What does AO do? Repeatedly duck his head low while throwing inaccurate overhands. When you duck your head and look at the ground you leave yourself in perfect position to be hit by an uppercut and you also lose sight of what your opponent is doing. He most likely would have got caught eventually but he just basically handed Ngannou that KO if he wanted it. You need to approach Ngannou's power by circling and picking your spots. Not squaring up and trading bombs. Certainly not lowering your head while in the pocket.Agreed, its gone to his head, Stipe isn't going to leave his chin on a plate like Overeem did. I think I'm going to bet on Stipe for this one, odds already @ +166 might wait to see if it gets even longer.
