    Lesnar is no Stipe though.... Have to favor Ngannou by stoppage here. Lesnar will turtle as soon as he eats a hard shot.

    You know Brock is always fully capable of getting a takedown...but I think at this point Francis might have too much in the striking department...remember how terrible Brock looked against Shane Carwin early...and that's a fight he won....not to mention his last two losses.

    Brock's scalp has little value, these days.
    FN is just looking for an easy name and struggling a bit with relevancy. He never really got tested, before Miocic

    Shane Carwin was an elite grappler, Francis is fodder on the ground.

    Yeah that's true...but I was talking about the stand up game. I was saying Brock was turtling whenever Carwin, the grappler, threw a strike of any sort. Carwin landed wild uppercuts on Brock...I believe Ngannu could do the same with his much more powerful and precise uppercuts. I don't think Brock would get the takedown before he turtled himself into a stoppage loss.

    Ngannou showed that if nothing else he's very tough and isn't easily discouraged. If Lesnar can't seal the deal inside the first 2 rounds he might to get clocked.

    Lesnar would have the leisure to commit and push for a takedown, putting Francis on his guard and making him cautious. Carwin didnt have to be cautious of the takedowns because he could deal with Lesnar’s grappling so he was freely able to pursue his striking game with impunity, Francis wont have that privilege.

    I think Ngannou's boxing is limited and he loads up in every shot. Although, I think Lesnar hasn't got the head movement or footwork of Miocic which will get him caught and probably stopped. Yes, I think he'll get takedowns against Ngannou but i feel he'll likely get stopped given the circumstances.

    I assume also Lesnar will be off the juice which will make him much weaker. He looked like he had man boobs from the lack of estrogen inhibition in the last pics of him i saw. I think he's trying to clean his system out completely before he has to undergo wada testing again.

    I don't rate Ngannou very highly nor have i ever rated Lesnar as highly as his fanboys. He seems to come ''unstuck'' at the elite level which isn't a slight on him given his experience. He's a world class wrestler and can compete against the gatekeepers (Hunt, Lewis, Ngannou, Overeem) and most of the dinosaurs in the division (which is nearly all of them)

    I don't particularly like either of these two and especially don't like Brock, so it's win-win for me. I'd cheer a scenario where Ngannou tattoos Brock's face full of lumps, just before Brock gets the takedown and lands his clumsy hamhock hands on Ngannou's skull for 5 minutes. By the end of the fight they both look like they've been in a car accident and the fight ... is declared a draw! Oh, noes, they have to do it again! :D

    Ngannu more explosive than Hunt and better TDD

    only lost because of a flawed system.. won the popular vote by like 2.7million.. which trump whined about for months claiming that millions of illegals voted to give her that over him :risas3: such a pitiful and insecure little hands man he is.
