PBP UFC on ESPN 1: Ngannou vs. Velasquez PBP Discussion thread: 6pm ET/3pm PT/11pm UK

[Mask Of Winters]

don't wanna take anything away from francis, but man that was a total dud! but his record will now say he KOed Cain.

It's really weird how there's still no real shine on him even with a finish as quick as this. Ngannou IMO still has just as much to prove now as he did before the fight. Long way to go to get back to his pre-Stipe status.

Cain is just made of glass these days, it even looks like he hurts the same knee or it slightly gives out in a media day work out.

at around 40 seconds.

WHY DO ARIEL AND SHAEL KEEP SAYING CAIN GOT KNOCKED OUT ??

Its just hyping Francis, UFC always has, get ready for Francis vs DC.

 

[podsox]

Yall are in denial. I was rooting for Cain but he got cracked and flash ko'd by an uppercut.

Can you be knocked out and screaming at the same time?

It's called a flash KO do some reading.

 

[MadDude]

fair enough. but he didnt lose because of his knee. he lost because of a punch

it must be the Satan dragonball super punch that takes over a second to take effect,

not only im struggling to see his head bounce or move at all from that ''uppercut''

but it took a legit 1 and a half second before it 'dropped' him.

between the uppercut and the drop cain head bumped on francis forearm twice and he was still workin on the takedown when suddenly both his leg went on a fat mat split and he screamed.

i could even argue that those headbumps on francis arm did more damage


im not trying to make any excuse for cain , as i said earlier i expected him to lose early , but this outcome is retarded , even francis looked like he had not done anything to get that W.

Looks like he was coming in injured already. ughh this was a let down man. horrible way to end.

Wonder how many people made a fortune off that video. Jesus

 

[MuayThaiBX]

Even if his knee hadn't blown it would have been just a matter of time. You could just see in the very brief time they fought that Ngannou was much stronger and faster than 36 y/o Cain. Prime Cain would cause him problems with wrestling but I would bet that wrestling is where his injuries/layoff affected him most. Hard to get that drive with bad knees. I don't think Cain was gonna be able to take him down and he was facing much more firepower than he had on the feet.

DC was watching that post fight like...

 

[ZaphodNYC]

So after watching the Bellator yesterday and seeing the worst card ever, I figure I need some UFC as the antidote

And then this - a really meh card other than Barberena/Luque

 

[drkaratekid]

I know we can’t control it but I’m getting really sick of huge build ups and 30 sec fights lol

Apparently

That wasn't a flash KO at all. He was never out. He was rocked though. Flash knock down, maybe, flash KO, no. Flash KO is more like Henderson vs Fedor.

 

[flairleguccijoints]

They need to show the angle with Cain's face before the fall, I vividly remember it being 3/4 behind Ngannou and Cain looking sleep for a split second before the fall and reaction to the awkward landing, which happens with flash ko's.

 

[irish_thug]

DC has to fight Ngannou now

He probably will. Unless things with Brock miraculously work themselves out.

I saw that as well --- he also mentioned something about the slippery mats.

Maybe he was injured going in and that fucked it up even more?

 

[Fizzee Water]

Need Gif....I didnt see anything land when he fell...just his knee buckling

It's right before he goes down

 

[estranged]

He probably will. Unless things with Brock miraculously work themselves out.

DC Ngannou might even do more buys than DC Brock
