Stipe wins if he can get out of the first round.

[marksmen]

I think he is a better all around fighter. If he can get past the first and maybe score a take down in the first as well, I think he takes it. Also, Ngannou is jacked and will gas mid way through the second. Stipe can also get the early KO as well.

I see Stipe taking this fight. Thoughts?

I hope Stipe wins, as that would secure his legacy as the GOAT.

If Ngannou wins, we're back to square one.

HW, or mma in general, needs a superman.

 

[Bubzeh]

Agreed. Not sure Stipe can weather the early storm that's going to be coming his way though.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I’ve picked against Francis before.....

 

[marksmen]

Remember what happened when Werdum came out swinging wild against Stipe. Thats how Ngannou fights.

How would a win over a very young prospect in Francis secure him as GOAT?

Yes, but Werdum isn't notorious for 1-punch KOs.

Stipe will dominate from start to finish like he did to Makr Hunt

GOAT........

He would be the GOAT hw of UFC for sure, by having defended the title more than anyone. That leaves Fedor, and that's another story. So let's just say he would be the GOAT when it comes to UFC.

GOAT........

Thanks.

He would be GOAT Heavyweight of the UFC. UFC in general he wouldn't be GOAT, and MMA in general he wouldn't be GOAT.

GOATs don't get knocked out by gatekeepers in their prime.

No he doesn't. Lol

 

[DetachedOrchid]

My heart and soul are with Stipe on this one.

 

[empsim]

stipe wins if he fights smart, but he usually stands and bangs

 

[Furious77]

My heart and soul are with Stipe on this one.

That's gay homie.

 

[DetachedOrchid]

That's gay homie.

Not as gay as your reply or name or text under your name.

 

[The Natural Born Runner]

I agree. Round 1 or nothing.

Prime JDS going 9-0 in UFC was more impressive.

And JDS has wins over Werdum, Cain and Stipe.
