So when Ngannou said he had 'learned a lot' from the Stipe fight...

[JDragon]

...this is what he came up with? Really?

What do you guys think drove this guy?

 

[TITS]

I have no idea why this guy laid such a massive egg tonight, but he ruined two really good parlays for me.

I had dc by ko and lewis assuncao on mine . Feels good man but didnt expect that shit at all. At maximum that they gas and went to a dec but what happened was so much weirder ...

 

[Alxair]

"Can't gas if you don't throw anything" might be the lesson he learned?

 

[Kingz]

Well, everybody told him to hit the treadmill and do cardio. We didn’t mean that he couldn’t hit the UFC power punch tester every now and then.

All he had to do was throw a few more punches and the decision would have went the other way. I've never been so annoyed watching a fight. He is sportsbook poison.

I dont know if lewis caught him with something that scared him but he did absolutely nothin

What do you guys think drove this guy?

Whichever engine powered the Ford Escort.

 

[JohnOates]

Could have both had an extremely off night.

Could have both had counter punching stratagies.

Could both be mentally weak

Could be both scared shirtless of the other's power

To be honest no idea.

You know what I think scared him?

He learned how to conserve his energy..................for the after party

Stipe has his balls on the wall at home !

I said this when he was unbeaten and I'll say it again. The guy just aint a proven fighter. Being a fighter isn't just about ko'ing guys. It's about showing technique, fighting through adversity, taking a punch and not panicking, managing fight anxiety etc. These are things fighters go through early in there careers when there young amateurs. Francis is going through this shit during his pro career against top competition. It was only a matter of time before he got exposed.

This makes sense.
Kinda like he rolled a few 6s due to his natural attributes.
Can't keep rolling them forever

He has a background in nothing. At his age he can't pick things up as easily as the young fighters. He's lucky the division is so shallow. He's perfect for the development program. I almost hope he get's cut and spends a year doing a bunch of boxing, Kickboxing, and grappling contests just so he can clock some fight hours.

It's that Shithole Country Fight IQ.

You lost, so they weren't really good parlays...

 

[machidafan99]

maybe his cardio was a bit better??? just saw highlights

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Well, he only threw 11 strikes.

I'm pretty sure I could fight for several hours at that pace despite being 300lbs and 6'9.
