Miocic - Ngannou prediction

in #ufc7 years ago

UFC 220 takes place Saturday at TD Garden in Boston. The main event is of course, a fight between a heavy-weight division champion Stipe Miocic who's facing Francis Ngannou.

Stipe Miocic - (17-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC)

Height: 6’4″ Age: 35 Weight: 246 lbs. Reach: 80″
Last fight: Knockout win over Junior dos Santos (May 13, 2017)
Camp: Strong Style Fight Team (Cleavland, OH)
Stance/striking style: Orthodox/kickboxing


Stipe has heavier hands. Maybe a lot of you will disagree with me on this one but considering Stipe demolished guys like Hunt, Werdum and Dos Santos with his hands, I can confidently say he has heavier hands.

Also, Stipe finishes fast. No screwing around for this guy. Ngannou's chin hasn't been tested yet, while Stipe already proved he can take a punch. Great wrestling background so Francis doesn't really stand a change on the floor either. And the biggest and most important factor is that Stipe knows how to fight. One of the most intelligent fighters I have ever seen.

Francis Ngannou # - (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC)

Height: 6’4″ Age: 31 Weight: 262 lbs. Reach: 83″
Last fight: Knockout win over Alistair Overeem (Dec. 2, 2017)
Camp: UFC Performance Institute (Las Vegas, NV)
Stance/striking style: Orthodox/kickboxing

To be brutally honest, the only way Ngannou can is with a lucky punch. You have to remember one thing, and that is that Stipe is not going to allow that to happen. As I already said, he's to smart to rush into things and get knocked the fuck out. Yes, Ngannou has amazing power and he's big but that's all.

The way I see it, this fight is going to end in the 3rd round. Stipe's going to tire Francis with wrestling and grappling and finish the fight after that.

Sort:  

I have Francis to win in round 1. He's so strong has the range advantage and is also fast. Stipe has taken big shots before and that could count against him as it all adds up.

"Stipe has heavier hands" I respectfully disagree. Nganu literally holds the world record for the hardest punch. I still have Stipe winning though.

i hope stipe can beat him
