    Was it a boring fight? Errr Yes, because after 5 minutes it was clear to see there was only one winner.
    Was N'Gannou over hyped? Yes, he was KO'ing opponents and people get carried away.

    Personally I thought Miocic was excellent tactically, my only complaint is that I thought if he pushed for the stoppage he would have got it but he looked content to get a decision.

    You, me and Willis all did. I KNEW the UFC pushed hype train would get derailed by Miocic. :D Go checkout the stupid ass YouTube comments before the fight. Almost as fun as the Rigondeaux ‘fans’ dumbass rhetoric.


    “Stipe gonna get slept doe!”

    “Francis be on anotha level doe!”

    I mean yeah he’s athletic and hits hard but I NEVER, EVER bought into all the bull**** hype being forced at us. Talking about Francis being “Next Level” and “THE SCARIEST HUMAN BEING ALIVE!” Lol Get the **** outta here with all that.” I was itching to see this fight and watch Stipe, a way more skilled HW, work that goon over.

    Lol! I was just shaking my head and scoffing at all that **** in the lead up to this fight. I was very confident in a Stipe victory in this. Miocic flatlined the same guys who were FN’s best wins and he is a very solid wrestler. All that crap about Nguanno’s secret takedown defense and “Couldn’t be taken down by Olympians he was working with”... GTFOH! Lol You don’t become the wrestler Stipe is in a couple of years.

    Hahaha! Stipe will beat Comier and Cain. Anyway Daniel doesn’t seem to keen on the idea of facing Stipe himself. Notice how he’s always pushing for the Cain vs Miocic fight? Lol

    I think Stipe might've carried him to punish and humiliate him more. He was talking a lot when he had him in a clinch or on the ground, something you don't often see him do in other fights.

    I disagree. Stipe has finished almost everyone by tko. Miocic's only submission victory was due to leg kicks, and it may/may not be properly listed as a submission win. If he was talking more than usual, it was probably to make his tired opponent work harder.

    Stipe wasn't confident in his submissions skills. Miocic opted to maintain dominant positions rather than ending the fight. Stipe went the distance because he couldn't finish his opponent.
