Media Stipe Miocic Humbles Francis Ngannou

Stipe's chin is gone. Once you get KO'd once it's a glass chin. If they fought again with the same skillset as last time, Stipe would be KO'd. Now, Francis is better, even if its barely any improvement.

Why would anyone be scared?Are we (fans) fighting?
Based on data,Francis is the scared one,had trauma after Stipe and if he meets him again,all of that mauling will come back.Knowing that guy owned him and that he can do it to him again.
Unless he lands money shot he is done just like the last time, long night of torment.

You know I meant Stipe so miss me with that petty ish, you know what I meant. And My reasoning is it is a biased opinion as to where Francis' evolution as far as becoming a better fighter isn't being acknowledged. There is no way WE as fans will ever know who is more confident in terms of a rematch because based on "data" you can't determine a human emotion(fear) based on information of the previous fight. In my personal opinion I believe that Francis himself thinks he can do better the second time around.
 
Lol at "Francis 1.0". The guy fights exactly the same as he did prior to Stipe. He's a powerful brawler with a one-round gas tank.
 
Stipe remains a nightmare matchup for Ngannou. Good, measured striking with good, powerful straights, good head movement, solid wrestling, durability and better cardio. As much as I wish Ngannou gets this, I believe Stipe's skillset perfectly allows him to exploit and expose Ngannou's weaknesses. But anyone not missing any screws in their head knows that Ngannou can end this fight and quick...so it's all about weathering the early storm.

So to me, Ngannou's the underdog here.
 
It takes an athlete in incredible shape to withhold Ngannou. I would lean towards him on this one.

What evolution lol?Guy swings his hands like he's in a bar fight.
Stipe is literally better in everything but power.
I also think he can do better,but not by much really.He is the same fighter he was.

Actually the first round seemed like a bull fight. Stipe was running for his life while Ngannou was chasing..

Except for the parts where Stipe outboxed him and had him on his back. Maybe check out that 1st round again for clarity.

I’m sorry but this is completely misinformed. Stipe’s chin was able to eat 160 of DC’s shots in DC2. Doesn’t sound like a glass chin to me. Also, if your assessment was anywhere near based in reality, Stipe would have a glass chin after Struve and therefore should not have been able to eat Ngannou’s bombs.

I'll never understand this reductive black/white chin belief. Either a chin is adamantium, or it's glass? Then how, pray tell, did Stipe withstand all those shots from the same guy who KOd him when they rematched a year later?
 
Not sure about Ngannou 2.0 - his KO's have been the same wild swings which Stipe mostly avoided.

However Stipe did get hit with a nogin rocker the last fight, and if his chin is gone now after the DC fights he might not survive that again.

If Stipe takes more damage in the 3rd DC fight I'd bet on Francis. If he does not, and looks fast, I'd bet on Stipe.

Sigh... why do I even bother, but here it goes...

Those last two rounds where just lay n pray and the story was told. Fused together in my mind. Whatever. Frank landed on Stipe. That's my whole point. Do you know what happened to other guys who Frank landed on? 15 shots in the 1st round. And STIPE REMAINED PUNCH DRUNK THE ENTIRE FIGHT. My whole point.

Imagine if that landed on the chin.... lights out
 
When he sees Stipe in the ring he's going to go fetal with PTSD
