Ngannou is known for his offensive grappling. It would be a striking match.Taken down and subbed easily.

Might look like Francis vs Black Beast .... no thanks.

first of all you are only guessing Ngannou has ever trained offensive wrestling, and second I doubt he would admit he was unable to win in standup against a guy like Butterbean.Except its relative. Ngannou/Butterbean have similar striking power/chin, but Ngannou probably has much better grappling (even if his isn't good, Butterbeans is terrible). So why take a chance on something where you only have a 50-50 chance (striking) when you can go for a 90% chance by grappling?

has he ever taken someone down? Or did he knock them all down with punches?He knows more than butterbean im sure. He has 4 submission wins and zero submission losses while butterbean got submitted a bunch of times even by guys who are way smaller than him.
Prime Butter ruins Francis the preying mantisBad matchup for Francis
Bisping used takedowns quite a lot in his early career which are probably the fights you are thinking of. he stopped using them later in his career. Ngannou has 0 takedown attempts in his UFC career.Exactly ... I remember Bisping going for takedowns vs strikers with little TDD.
Normally Takedows aren't part of his gameplan but if its there and its easy route to victory ... you take it.
In MMA? His skills sure have evolved.
