He does? Doesn't look that way. Just really good distance management by Holloway then.

No doubt but JDS time has passed, Ngannou is just reaching his prime.

Miocic gives Ngannou trouble with his wrestleboxing, but it's not clear if Miocic's chin can survive against the heavy blows of Ngannou, he hits much harder than Struv and perhaps more accurate.

Great win by Holloway as expected, sad to see Aldo go down he was doing better conserving himself than the first fight.

Dude i'll tell you now...Stipe's chin CAN'T survive a flush blow by Ngannou. I don't think anyone in the HW division can honestly. In order to beat Ngannou he's gonna have to be super patient and try to counter fight like he did against Werdum. Hell he probably wants to wrestle lol.

Re: UFC 218: Holloway vs. Aldo 2

So that thing about Ngannou having the biggest punching power recording thing sounded really stupid. That sports lab **** the UFC does is really gimmicky.... But after seeing that KO.... He really might be the hardest punching fighter around right now lol. Overeem's head looked like it got hit with a bat.

Ngannou kinda reminds me of Wilder in that he dominates with this crazy power and athleticism but doesn't have the technique of guys at his level.



Ngannou probably hits harder honestly.

LOOK AT THAT ****ING ****

The height helps. I don't trust UFC reach ratings either.

Lol he probably would have rather got hit with a bat tbh. But yh it's obvious Ngannou has crazy power. You can't fake that ****. If i'm Stipe i'm trembling right now lol.

I think Overeem was kinda shook and that partly lead to his demise. When Overeem ran at Ngannou he like shouted and was kinda like "lets go!".... then Overeem went to clinch and just got man handled. I think at that point he had some serious doubt in his head. Ngannou is so imposing.

Honestly one of the craziest knockouts I've ever seen in MMA or boxing. Ngannaou has that Julian Jackson power but at ****ing heavyweight.

Re: UFC 218: Holloway vs. Aldo 2

Yh Ngannou is a very intimidating figure and has the power to go with that. I fear for anyone who has to step in the cage with that guy honestly. Stipe better get on his wrestling practice. and yh Julian had some power. And it was weird too considering his body frame. Like you just wouldn't think the guy could hit as hard as he did. He was something scary back in the day.

Imagine if Ngannou boxed from a young age. Imagine if he had the technique of Julian Jackson. He's already a cheat code but at that point he'd be god. Basically.

Re: UFC 218: Holloway vs. Aldo 2

I just had an insane thought. Rumble wants to return at heavyweight. Imagine Rumble vs Ngannou....

I feel blessed to be witnessing a guy like Ngannou fight in his prime. I don't want to call him the Mike Tyson of MMA because it's not fair to compare the technique. But in terms of raw power and being absolutely terrifying... He's the guy.

Stipe is probably so hype right now. Probably went for a run lol. ****, I feel like going for a run right now.

Re: UFC 218: Holloway vs. Aldo 2

I've been watching MMA on a regular basis since around 2004. I honestly haven't had the thought very often in all of these years, but I was legit concerned Overeem might die in the cage. Ngannou's power is unreal. Devastating knockout. If that entire division wasn't already on notice, they have no choice but to be now.

Man same. I was legit worried for him...especially seeing that he took a second hit on the ground. And then to make it worse after, Joe Rogan was like "Overeem is still out...he looks like he's been electrocuted" smh. Francis is one scary dude.

Sad to see Aldo fall off so hard. He's taking Ls like he's 40 and he's only 31.

It seems like the lighter the weight class, the quicker they fall off as they age. Probably cause speed is more of a factor in those weight classes.

Yup. Can't stay on top forever man. Eventually age catches up with all of us. And the first thing to go on an ageing fighter is speed and reflexes. I dnt think it's really that with Aldo yet. He's only 31, but I think Holloway just has his number honestly.
