Ngannou was amazing considering the injury

[Human Bass]

Thread title says it all. He was legitimately injured given how he was wearing bracers on both knees. Defeating a super light footed Gane while dealing with a spoiled knee is an almost impossible task, and yet Francis did it even if it wasn't pretty.

Also good display of fight IQ and decent cardio, something that many doubt Francis was capable of.

Well, now surgery time and I guess we only see him early next year.

No

This needs it's own thread?

I was amazed by Ngannou’s girth and stamina.

i don t see how a bad knee can make your boxing look so shit

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

One knee Ngannou defeated the Sherbro consensus HW GOAT Gane. Keep crying and maybe Uncle Dana will create another fake belt for Tui soon.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

It does suck that he'll have to undergo surgery most likely, and be out again for awhile. So another interm belt for the big boys again I'm assuming. He's not eager to get back in there anytime soon anyways they pay him enough to be financially set to live comfortably and focus on his future.

Not really. He’s sitting out a year no matter what to get out of his contract.

I can relate. I once went to my zumba class with an ingrown toenail.

Champions like us just need to push through the pain.

Really??

Imo Ngannous best UFC fight was last night as he was able to change his game plan after 2 rounds to fight through a lot of adversity. I thought it was great.

Knees would affect everything from movement, balance, rotations, twists, level change, etc - the list goes on. He had minimal footwork and movement from he's previous fights and seemed like he had a hard time lunging forward like he usually does. So it seems to have affected him a lot. If he does do boxing he'll need to up his boxing conditioning and punch count though. Also his movement/footwork conditioning. Especially if he is fighting Fury who uses a lot of movement/footwork and has a high punch count. Can't be all power shots.

He is not injured.. It is just a negotiating ploy.
