uncle who? Ngannou is stiff as mofo. Completly opposite of Ciryl. I give him 2% if the fight goes to distance. Cardio notwithstanding
oh that one will watch later... EDIT: uncle is hedging his bet that Cyril will put his hands down while standing sufficiently still in front of Ngannou. He could, he might be tempted and maybe even succeed. But why would he? Cyril stupid? Did you watch the fight with Lewis? youtube.com/watch?v=LgTfeQ7TdMI Cyril did put his hands down, on many occasions. But... only while being outside of Lewis reach. Lewis couldn't touch him. He landed like 5 strikes during 3 rounds.
I seen the fight live, watch live every weekend, and the Lewis v Ngannou fight is infamous now, though i do appreciate you pointing this fact about how they both done against same opponent, for me it's too close to call as Ngannou needs just that one shot as they say. I'm also hyped about the co-main event, Cejudo has been working with Davidson. I can see Jon Jones getting the winner and then becoming double champ. Jon Jones is most talented mma guy that ever lived imo to see him at HW should bring in decent PPV numbers.
Same here. I'm so scared, I can't even call it. But if you put a gun to my head, I take Cyril. He looks better, more natural, more fluid and is less susceptible to burning out. Emotions and adrenaline can eat you out, and Francis does not look to me like he will ever manage to keep these things checked. Regarding "one punch knockout power". It seems to me that this is represented wrongly too many times. It's not so much that Francis, Lewis and whoever have this special power while Cyril and Stipe don't. It's that some fighters chose to rely on one punch, and never grow into a combination puncher. It does not mean that combination puncher could not knock-out his way to victory if he chose to stick with one-power-punch tactics.
Volkanovski is another really relaxed fighter and i'd put my money on Cyril too, there's a lot on the table it's very interesting fight!
