Stipe vs NG = Usman vs Meek

[Mebetter]

Both lay n prayed on the bigger striker, and did just enough to keep the fight from being stood up. Stipe is praised for beating a monster and Usman was criticized for not standing in the pocket to trade. If Usman fight sucked than the Stipe performance sucked too

[RafaelDosSantos]

Grappling and cardio > striking

Both fight was a let down for the most part.

Not even close. Stipe actually beat Francis up. Go watch kickboxing.

Stipe landed some bombs Nganuu has a good chin, some of those strikes stipe landed ko'd lesser guys.

Usman was the betting favorite in his fight. Stipe was the underdog. Generally the underdog gets praise, regardless of how they win. Call it a prize for being written off and under ooked before the fight.

Just fuck off and go watch kickboxing.

Stipe outstruck Ngannou 200 to 33, you casual.

Guarantee the majority of the counted strikes were love taps on the ground.

Let's see you take those "love taps" by Stipe, tough guy.

Also - why don't you watch kickboxing? This is mixed martial arts, if the ground game bothers you that much what are you even doing here?

NG was 110% gassed and took them just fine without even being close to being stopped. He looked like he was in more pain holding up his arms than he was by Stipe landing any half assed strikes on the ground.

I disagree. Stipe fought excellent. It was total domination and fucking hilarious to watch this UFC performance institute genetic experiment hypetrain get shut down.

Could watch the fight 10 times in a row.

Were you equally as excited to see Usman destroy Meek via lay and pray? Because both fights were mostly lay and pray/ stalling.

Completely different fight, and yes, I'm a big Usman fan.
UFC shit the bed by matching him with Meek, why would Usman risk anything in this fight? He's ranked, fighting a unranked prospect that has his second fight in the UFC, who also hits hard.

You think he chooses to bang with Meek? No fucking way.
Usman can KO people, but UFC gave him some stupid ass fucking match-up that he needed to play safe.

Give Usman someone like Colby Covington and he knocks him out in the first, guaranteed.
