https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/11369626/whyte-miocic-ngannou-fight-ufc/ Whyte will be destroyed in any UFC match why is he doing this?
Dillian Whyte is a British and European Kickboxing champion, so he is not exactly inexperienced in other areas of combat. Of course, he's a boxer, but it's worth noting.
MMA is a different game to kickboxing Stipe will take him down and elite MMA fighters are far above the level of a European champ in kickboxing, Stipe is a top class operator.
Whyte had an MMA match before he had a pro boxing match. Beat Daniel Sam a few times in kickboxing. Wouldn't mind seeing him try it. If Daniel Cormier can outbox Stipe, Dillian Whyte could give it a shot. It's not like Whyte is James Toney washed. Neither Stipe nor Ngannou is Randy Coutoure either. Stipe is a solid wrestler though. Definitely the worse of the two matchups. Highly doubt the UFC will come up with the money though.
Whyte holds the advantage on his feet tbf, hands and legs if he was a good kick boxer..Stipe would obviously know this and smash him in to the ground not letting him up.Piece of **** Stipe first round stoppage
Stipe and Ngannou are far better than Coutore was, MMA has moved on in leaps and bounds since Toney got destroyed in the cage.
Couture was also a desperate wrestler fighting a guy who shouldn't have been cleared to fight and didn't pretend to train. Ngannou hasn't shot for a takedown in the UFC. Doesn't really do much in the clinch besides muscle dudes around. Doesn't kick much. He waits on some sloppy UFC combo and clocks people with lean back hooks and uppercuts. Whyte is well suited to jab and go to the body. Of course, I wouldn't favor Whyte in these fights. These are two of the best fighters in HW MMA. I might favor him versus Greg Hardy or somebody though. That's a high profile name at least. Some HWs don't really wrestle. Some have bad chins and trash hands. I've never seen DW stop a takedown or grapple, but he wouldn't always need to.
I think you're selling Couture short here. I think Miocic is better. But Couture was a more complete and greater fighter than Ngannou. Might lose head to head but he's a better talent p4p and all time.
Stipe he gets taken down and ground and pounded into Oblivion. With Ngannou he risks getting caught and humiliated by a MMA fighter. He wouldn't fight either unless the money was extremely good and he's just not worth it to the UFC.
