Setsuna 193 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Holy crap, that was a brutal finish. Patient Francis is somehow scarier than super-aggressive Francis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jiji 12,626 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The sound on that last shot. KERSPLAT. Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 14,663 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The second Stipe didn't get that takedown, I thought, well, that may be it. I doubt it makes a difference, but I wonder if the fight goes any differently in a larger cage. Link to post Share on other sites
jaedmc 7,551 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hate that it happened, but I love these guys. So happy for Francis. Ideally Francis knocks Jon Jones into a different universe and we get the trilogy. Link to post Share on other sites

That would be Dewey Cooper, who is basically the new Bundini Brown. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
twiztor 1,315 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 AND NEW! those heavy hands of Ngannou are fucking scary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 14,663 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hot take: Ngannou is an easier opponent for Jones to beat. Link to post Share on other sites
John E. Dynamite 1,724 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 He beat him with a leaping jab and a short hook. That's what's really scary. That's Godzilla with a sniper rifle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's Godzilla with a sniper rifle. Stunned him with the jab, Stipe thought he hurt him, came in and got caught with a beautiful short hook. Kinda reminded me of Miocic vs. Werdum when Miocic won the UFC Heavyweight Championship for the first time. Edited March 28 by The Natural Link to post Share on other sites
Craig H 14,663 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Well, I'm happy Ngannou won. He's been the opponent I've been most afraid of for Stipe and so I guess now that this is over with I can kind of relax and look forward to Francis murking anyone not named Stipe. Link to post Share on other sites
Elsalvajeloco 9,323 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Based off reading that interview Damon Martin did with Eric Nicksick, I'm excited that we have at least one MMA coach who is super realistic, knew Stipe was super dangerous, and that it was on Ngannou to make those adjustments. You want that out of an MMA coach and not the usual hyperbolic "this guy/girl can knock anyone out in the first round." Also, I got major Pat Barry vs. Cheick Kongo vibes except Ngannou wasn't as badly hurt as Kongo. He got stunned but Miocic chased him and paid for it big time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
jaedmc 7,551 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Man, Ngannou just sounds like the sweetest, kindest soul who also happens to have nuclear fucking weapons for arms. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Natural 36,884 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Five fight win streak for Ngannou all finished by KO/TKO. Ngannou has 16 wins in total, 12 by KO/TKO and 4 by Submission. 100% finish rate. All 3 defeats by decision. Amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
Jiji 12,626 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 That will be a fucking massive fight but this is still funny. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

John E. Dynamite 1,724 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Francis didn't just overcome Stipe, he overcame the phlegm. I'm just assuming he rehydrates with whole milk as a protein thing. Aljo is the only US-born UFC Champion, btw. If Yan hadn't blown it... what would be the last time that happened? Edited March 28 by John E. Dynamite 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Natural 36,884 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Patient Francis is somehow a scarier version of original Francis. The power he has is frightening. Link to post Share on other sites

That's a much better comparison than the one I came up with. One of my favourite fights as well. Cheers, @Elsalvajeloco. Link to post Share on other sites

jaedmc 7,551 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The scariest moment of the fight was Francis defending the takedown and then popping Stipe in the face for even trying. As soon as it happened I thought, If that's "a thing" going forward, everyone just forget it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
