Tom Aspinall vs. Francis Ngannou - Who wins?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Say if these two somehow fight, who takes it in your opinion?

 

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

I think Ngannou will be well past his prime if this happens. So going with Aspinall.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Balloonhead has his way with Franci$

 

[flektarn]

easy tom W

 

[MMAFanCal]

Aspinall all day. So much faster, more explosive and a more well rounded. Big Frank does have the one-punch knockout power, but so does Aspinall.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Aspinall wins.

 

[MemphisMafia]

I think Aspinall wins this. I believe he takes him down and keeps him there. Although it is heavy weight and one hard hit and it could be over.

 

[El Fernas]

I believe Aspinall is a better fighter with just as good punch power, considerably younger.

He probably doesn't (I'm almost sure he doesn't) have the raw power Ngannou does, but it gets to a point where that doesn't matter. As long as you hurt guys when you hit them, whatever power you have is enough. Francis may hit harder, but Tom hits plenty hard enough to hurt and finish any HW. We've seen it over and over.

And yeah I agree, Tom is the better overall fighter. He's younger, faster, and just plain the more likely to land the fight-altering shot.

I’ll take Tom, he’s got youth on his side and a more well rounded game. I can see it going a lot like the first Stipe fight but more successful.

Ngannou is pretty much retired and would be coming back for a payday after fighting part time for the past few years. I don’t see him making any waves if he decides to step back into the cage

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Tom is way too fast. Francis would need to grapple lol

 

[BlackStrap]

I lean towards Tom, mostly because of his fight age, and the unknown factor, but I cannot for the life of me understand the overabundance of faith that everyone here has in him.

His resume simply does not support it. His best win is Volkov, who's only top 5 because the division is so shallow. Shallow as the division is, he still hasn't been Gane and did not beat a 300 year old Miocic when he was around- two things that Ngannou did.

Fuck it, Ngannou, because he is an actuality, not a potentiality.

 

[Egészségére!]

Ngannou by sub

No fr I think Tom would win but man that would be a huge Godzilla v Mothra type HW fight we haven’t seen for awhile

 

[JBJ was here]

Rates to be a very easy win for Aspinall who is much younger than Ngannou, has taken far less damage than Ngannou, and is better at every single aspect of MMA than Ngannou except for punching really hard, where he's effectively tied since they both punch more than hard enough for any MMA purpose. Ngannou has a puncher's chance, but not a particularly good one.

 

[NextGen]

Aspinall has more ways to win and is much faster and can easily knock him out.

Aspinall wins at least 7-8 out of 10 times.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Right now I'd take Tom. Frank is beginning to age, hasn't fought a lot in the last few years. Granted, Tom hasn't either, but he's not getting close to 40. A few years ago, would have been an interesting fight, and probably would have taken Francis.

 

[Ares Black]

Aspinall makes it look easy

 

[Captain Herb]

Frank has a punchers chance, especially with the way Tom likes to run in chin up. But I'd probably go with Tom's youth, speed, and overall game

 

[Yakuza13]

Francis by overeem like instant decapitation

 

[cblitz]

I got Aspinall. Age has crept up on Ngannou
