Francis Ngannou vs Stipe Miocic II - BREAKDOWN

Francis ''The Predator'' Ngannou, the most powerful fighter of our time, has become a true student of the game. The sheer brutality of his knockouts tend to take away from his actual mma skills, and his most recent finish of Stipe Miocic is no exception.
Together, let's take a look at what happened in this fight.
Once again, sorry for the long delay between the fight and the video. You guys deserve better from myself.

Francis is one of those rare fighters where is doesn't feel fair. He hits harder than you, he's stronger than you, he's bigger than you and he can take shots better than you. He's like if the Hulk actually learned how to fight.

When Francis took Stipe down, My jaw dropped, I was legit speechless, I think that right there, Stipe knew he has nothing for this man

[@teish8393]

My god the fucking recency bias.. It’s 1 - 1.

[@andertap_silvaroid]

@@teish8393 How does that matter in any way? Stipe beat an inexperienced Ngannou who was the far lesser fighter than he is now, and Ngannou proved it by absolutely murdering Miocic in the rematch. And by Ngannou defending the takedowns it proved there’s nothing Miocic can do to beat him in a trilogy. If a third fight happened Miocic would just get knocked the fuck out again like he already did.

[@teish8393]

@@andertap_silvaroid Before the fight, the whole narrative going into this fight was Stipe was going to win and treat ngannou same way he did the last fight. Narratives change, fighters evolve. Everyone can be stopped, even ngannou as he has been before. Granted Stipe is 38 but he’s a defending heavyweight world champion, put respect in his name. Everyone so quick to call fighters careers, stfu.

[@duttybwoyspodcast8051]

@@teish8393 at no point did I say anything bad about Stipe, it’s not recency bias, it’s what happened, he came in with a game plan, didn’t expect t improvement, and had no other option, which is why he stood there frozen half the fight, and got dominated, it is what it is

[@user-tj8ys4ic8w]

@@teish8393 This isn't recency bias, it's about how badly Stipe got fucked up the second time. Not only did he get outclassed in every way, but be may not be the same both physically and mentally after getting knocked to the brink of death by Ngannou

[@hendrixbase8748]

3:39 I know this angle doesn't help. But pay attention to Stipe's face. As he stares at nganou. He realises that there's nothing. He tried to get a take down and he almost completely got taken down. With the eyes he uses to stare at Francis..and how Francis looks back at him. I think they both went into a short realm..where stipe tells him "I'm all out brother. I can't do anything." And I feel like Francis responds with "I know."

Honestly Ngannou should quickly move to boxing where he will not worry about take-down, grappling and kicks. The current pretenders in the heavy weight boxing division will be no match. Congratulations Champ. .💪

The backpedaling right is his signature move, that's how he got the title by knocking out Fabricio Werdum. But Francis is a different animal.

[@lindahlophe1572]

Copium. He got dominated. Francis was picking him apart. That mistake was forced by desperation. Stipe is no spring chicken, he is not rattled by nothing. He saw that as his only change to win.

I'm impressed by his wrestling defense, how high he can kick and also athletic he seemed. I predicted a knockout, because I knew that winning this fight meant more for Ngannou than anything. He was fighting for something greater than himself, to give his mother and family in cameroon a better life. Kudos to him!

[@hanayama5965]

Someones want a rematch as if Stipe could beat a ngannou who outclassed him in the areas that stipe was allowed to beat him the first time around.

[@MarioGarcia-de2fj]

I d say if them one more fight. Because both fighters now have a better understanding of what each ind. brings to the octagon. Perhaps stipe might work in a different way for the next time and fix any holes that need to be sealed in order to have a better chance then after that stipe should retire.

I think ciryl gane has the technique to pick apart ngannou, same as JJ but i still think francis natural power and new technique improvements are enough. Also Derrick Lewis has the power but he is too slow for francis

[@MMASportsMaster]

Sorry for the long delay between the fight and the video.

[@ola...o1009]

Derek Lewis is a threat though

[@cyrilebeh1363]

The first fight is to Ngannou what Andy Ruiz was to Anthony Joshua. Those fights unlocked new levels of already formidable fighters.

[@DeliMayne22]

Honestly not really comparable if you think about it. Anthony had no business losing the first fight but looked he to took the rematch more seriously rather than being out skilled like Francis was in his first title fight. Also Ruiz came in looking like melted ice cream for the rematch. That fight was over at the weigh in. He had put on about 30lbs of fat and was sucking wind by the third. Stipe was in tip top shape but just ran into a focused monster.

[@cyrilebeh1363]

I agree with your line of thought to a certain degree. The similarity I’m referring to is the way those two losses changed both fighters’ fighting styles. Joshua has become far more patient since he lost to Ruiz cos he’s realized he can’t just “run through” every opponent, Ngannou has also learned the same lesson after the first fight against Stipe. Remember he was a heavy favorite coming into the first Stipe fight?

[@flyhighsun1833]

Don't think we can write Stipe off. If it was me, I'd be out of there with my records relatively unmauled but then again, I'm not the former UFC heavyweight champion. I think if anyone is going to dethrone Ngannou, it'll be Stipe. If Stipe can't do it, I don't think we're going to see another heavyweight champ for a LONG time. Ngannou could reign for years.

[@MarioGarcia-de2fj]

I wonder is Dana will pay up for the fight with Jones and nygannu ? Like it seems suspicious that Jones brings up money and Dana straight away say Jones is scared to fight. I really think Dana is just being stingy with the money.

[@Percules15]

Stipe should have used calf kicks

[@abdulhafiza3833]

do you think jon jones is scared or does he have big chance against ngannou ?

[@MMASportsMaster]

Good question : Many people seem to believe that Jon Jones is ''scared'', but that is just the wrong word for it. The right formulation in my opinion would be : Jon Jones feels more threatened by Francis Ngannou than any other human being on earth, as he should. Jon has faced many tough challengers throughout the years, but when you look at all of them, there is no possible comparison with Ngannou. I still believe he has a small chance of winning, but I certainly wouldn't bet money on it.

[@zGJungle]

I don't think Jon can do any thing that can hurt Francis, Jon has little power in his hands, the chasse bas/oblique kick would be super risky due to Franics' long hooks, as we just seen taking him down is not so easy, I think it would be a bad night for Jones.
