Ngannou vs Anthony Johnson

[Fesaine]

AJ has more skill than most HW lol. Francis has terrible striking defense and could be ko in exchange.

This is a sherdog myth. Rumble striking is not nearly as technical as some sherdoggers suggests. His punches is as wild or even more wild than ngannou.

Rozenstruik hit harder and is 10x more technical. But ngannou still slept him under 20 second.

Rumble is also an unpredictable nut who can win an exchange and then shoot for a takedown and get chocked out. Or get a person hurt and somehow fail to finish him like when DC got hurt yet somehow got out of that

I remember seeing an interview with Rumble where he talked about training with Frances one time. I guess big Frank rocked him pretty good. I would definitely lean towards Frances if I was going to bet but you never know. It would be fun to watch for sure.

No they are not. Nobody is Wilder than Ngannou besides Wilder a few years ago

Francis is just as wild.... AJ throws kicks in between his strikes.. Francis doesn't..

Ngannou throw more and better boxing combo than rumble. Go watch his first fight against blaydes.

Another advantage ngannou has over rumble is his footwork and counter striking. He's really good at making his opponents overextended then countering them(ala jds and arlovski).

Dude...he's sloppy

and yet he still ktfo rozenstruik. whos a better and more powerful striker than rumble.

You don't get it lol. He can be caught like any HW swinging wild like that with low striking defense. I'm arguing that if rumble hits him between those wide shots, he could ko Francis too. Every HW gets ko.


AJ has a mix of heavy strikes and kicks. Francis only has punches. Are you that blind to act like rumble couldn't catch Francis?

Really? Lol

 

[Roljo]

Rumble is a great fighter but he's way too overrated in sherdog. Ngannou would sleep him in the first round.

There's a reason why he's not returning to heavyweight. Fighters like Stipe, Blaydes, rozenstruik, and Ngannou would be a terrible matchup for him.

How ?

Why ?

Exactly. Biggie is a heavy punching counter striker with 10 KOs in mma and 64 in kickboxing. He hit Ngannou on the button with 2 perfect counters, the same counters that KOd Arlovski and JDS, and NOTHING HAPPENED. Ngannou wasn’t KO’d or TKO’d. He wasn’t wobbled. He didn’t even slow his forward momentum. He just walked through the punches as if nothing happened and knocked Biggie out cold with one punch. The same Biggie that absorbed BOMBS by Overeem for 5 rounds and didn’t even get wobbled once, got knocked out cold by ONE PUNCH by Ngannou.

Rumble has fought at heavyweight exactly one time. He fought Glass Joe aka Andrei Arlovski. The same Arlovski that got face planted by Biggie using the same punch that Ngannou walked through. Rumble did not KO or TKO him, he won by 3 round decision. The only time Arlovski was even wobbled was when he was hit after the bell, and that punch broke his jaw. He then fought 2 more rounds with a broken jaw and Rumble still couldn’t knock him out.

Why couldn’t Rumble KO Arlovski? A guy who had been KOd 6 times before that fight? It’s because he is a LHW. He has never had a KO north of 205. The biggest he has ever been for a fight (not including his power lifting/bodybuilding retirement) is 230 and he looked small vs Arlovski.

How is the guy who couldn’t knock out Arlovski with a broken jaw, who has never knocked out any heavyweight, going to KO the guy that has never been wobbled and walks through power punches by heavyweight KO artists and one punches people with iron chins?

 

[WarFan90]

Maybe. but no way in hell Frank makes 220

Ya he barely gets to 260 after a full camp no way he could cut to 220

Biggie was leaning back when he hit Francis . Someone coming forward with bad intentions would've most likey KO Francis.

You're going to be real sad when Francis gets ko lol. Every HW gets ko. His style opens himself to be ko himself. I wish I was there to see your face when it happens lol

 

[FriskyRandy]

id go rumble, if she still looks the same as he did.

Faster, more skill. Would love to see it.

Biggie KOd Arlovski with that exact same punch in the exact same way. Arlovski and Ngannou both ran into the punch. Arlovski got face planted. Ngannou continued forward and ran into a second punch that he also walked through. Biggie is a counter puncher. A lot of his KOs come the exact same way.

Someone moving forward would have ran into Ngannou’s punch instead and WOULD HAVE DIED.

I forgot you're a white belt. Makes sense now lol.

What was that NOOB?

 

[Morris88]

He could be the best LHW if he can make the cut. If he's anything like used to be, he should outstrike Reyes, Jiri, etc. and the Bellator guy who just beat Bader. LHW's best fighters right now are strikers and that works in his favor.

Exactly, on his last LHW run he only lost to DC, and he's out of the picture now!
