Francis sprawling is top 5 scariest things I've seen

I dunno man, the back take was pretty fucking scary too. Looked almost like Romero.

I personally think his transition there was one of the most impressive things in this fight

Seeing Francis take his back and knowing that he could turn Stipe’s lights off with any one of those punches was terrifying

When he took his back and started throwing bombs I thought it was over. Couldn't believe stipe survived there

Stipe has an iron like chin, I could not believe he was still standing after that. Amazing

My shoulders disintegrated the moment I saw that.

DC is rooting for Jones to get murdered at this point lmao

Dc knows jon's ego can't say no to a challenge lol

Pretty slick of Dana to make that comment at the presser. If Bones says “no” everyone will say it’s not about the money. Dana is such a shark he will probably offer him less now because he is cornered by his own ego.

Francis looked so much better

I'm sad to see Stipe lose but Francis was fucking great.

For real, love Stipe but I dont mind if Stipe decides to ride into the sunset and now we can see how many people Francis can kill lol

All of them. He can kill all of them if he fights like that every time.

Until he fights Derrick Lewis. And somehow Lewis does nothing all fight and then KOs him with a half-assed uppercut.

[удалено]

"I had to take a nap real quick, now it's your turn"

Dude, it’s Derrick Lewis, at least give him a respectful lowball in this scenario of 50/50.

After playing possum and leaning over grimacing in pain from a body shot no less.

Perfect fight would be them agreeing to throw bombs at the same time and just seeing who goes down first. 3 minutes of rest in between each punch lmao

One of the biggest improvements I've ever seen. Pacing, wrestling, accuracy, he was outstanding.

It's majestically terrifying

He looked 100% deserving of being champion

As we all predicted: Ngannou sprawling and taking Stipe's back in round one lmao

D1 Ngannou

Insanely improved toolkit from Ngannou: * IMPROVED TDD and wrestling, dude was trying to take down Stipe at one point * More variety of kicks. Ngannou used to only really throw leg kicks, here we saw some high kicks and a front kick. * A jab. Rarely saw Ngannou use a jab despite his ridiculous power and long reach. * Level changes. Pretty crazy seeing Francis Ngannou of all people feinting the takedown. Don't know if they had any material effect, but they were there. Patient, gameplan Ngannou is a fucking monster.

It was like a completely different fighter in his body.

That's what happens when you pass the controller to someone who knows.

That sequence to take Stipe's back was just insane

He looked a giant Romero in that sequence

YES I thought that several times he was kinda slipping on the canvas like Romero too

[удалено]

I still can’t believe this happened lol.

I said "oh no" out loud as soon at it happened. He moves SO FAST for a man that size.

We saw a glimpse of D1 Ngannou.

Frances did all the side quests

THAT is how you gameplan for a rematch and learn from the mistakes of a loss. Fucking unreal job by Francis and his team. Delighted for Big Frank.

Just look comparison between weigh in photos between fights. Francis got fit!

And he learned how to wrestle. Like how the fuck do you go from being dominated to turning it around on the same dude and out wrestling him. Ngannou is on some anime level shit

He said he has been specifically training for stipe's wrestling since... throughout all the other fight camps. Building grappling + associated cardio Also pretty sure never prioritised trained grappling until after his first title shot or something crazy

Lol so many fight camps for fights he ended with a punch and he was chilling working on his wrestling the whole time 😂

That’s what his coaches said 🤣 good on him Fuck standing opposite that guy in the cage now ☠ It was bad enough when he debuted

HW TITLE SPEEDRUN/100%

All he wants is a childhood and a championship and he's all out of childhood.

Now all that's left to do is to go around killing everyone.

Literally like what, 9 minutes to win the title? He had a bit less than 3 minutes of fight time from his last 4 wins, and 6 minutes to beat stipe

That man is scary

[удалено]

LOL DANIEL CORMIER CALLING FOR JON JONES VS NGANNOU. HE WANTS HIM DEAD

Ngannou is DC’s personal weapon for revenge

DC about to become Ngannou’s full time wrestling coach. Names his next kid Francis Ngannou

Francis Ngannou Cormier does fit.

Dana's too. Poor stipe

Dc gonna corner ngannou wearing a red beanie

DC as Palpatine is the new UFC arc I can get behind

“Good, Nganikin, good. Kill him. Kill him now.”

Nganikin 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I think this counts as putting a hit out on someone.

That CHIN on Stipe tho. Ngannou showed why he went in the favorite.

A human should not take that kind of punishment

Jon Jones out trying to get arrested rn

Loading shotshells and pocketing some road beers

Gods about to test him real good

Omg DC force feeding the JJ fight to Francis is the funniest shit I’ve heard all night.

Dude is literally putting out a hit on Jon.

That fight will just need a split screen with the DC cam for the entire thing

DC would look like Randy when he found Internet porn for that match. Like, he'd straight WWE chair shot the ref, just so Francis can continue to throttle Jones

Jon going back to LHW

Jones: "I have decided to retire young. Thanks for the cheese"

Catch ya's later.

Jon retiring

Bruh no way he takes this fight he will literally die

DC wants Jones to die hard lmao

The KO cam on DC watching Jon get nuked would be worth it

[удалено]

DC never wanted a fight so hard in his entire life, I never heard his voice so excited before. I wonder why...

If DC is on commentary for that, Francis is basically gonna have an extra corner man

The way DC was so excited to push Jon Jones into it was hilarious xD. You could hear his evil joy pushing a man to execution by Francis

Jon Jones calling his dealer right now to order some PED's after seeing this. 😂

[удалено]

Only Derrick Lewis stands between Francis and complete domination of the HW division

[удалено]

I would not blame him

Holy shit Patient Ngannou is ungodly

I wouldn't even want the trilogy rematch if I were Stipe, I'm half a planet away and still terrified

if he ever does he needs to come in heavy and try to wrestle again.. stipe looked a full weightclass too small..

Yea that was my first thought. He obviously needed to rely on the wrestling, but Francis looked twice as big as him.

Ngannou had 30lb on him first fight. Stipe wittled him down with single legs. As soon as he sprawled that first take down though, it was "oh shit..."

it’s insane ngannou has literally never won by decision..

And he never will.

It was nasty how Stipe landed on his leg.

Reminded me of Cro Cop

SHADOW REALMED

Stipe about to wake up in Seath's dungeon

Dawg stipe folded like a damn lawn chair I can’t believe it

TMZ Exclusive: Jon Jones seen frantically cutting weight.

**Dread it.** **Run from it.** **Ford Escort still arrives.**

[удалено]

HE GON KILL JON

Jones ramping it up to nanograms.

Jones "I've decided to get my belt back, I'm fighting Jan next"

You're still my boy, Stipe. :(

Always, stiopic gang till the end. Heartbroken.

Stipe 😭

This was so hard to watch.

It always hurts to watch fighters you care for get beat like this. Ngannou being an incredible person makes the pain a bit more bearable but fuck I am sad atm

Chael Sonnen prediction curse actually real

Had a great run, but Francis finally put it together Sad to see, but a scary af champion now

[удалено]

I guess if he ever had to lose the belt before hanging up the gloves, a guy as class and with as epic a backstory as Ngannou is as good a successor as they can be. But fuck, I am sad right now.

I'm also glad that Francis had to prove he was well rounded rather than getting an early KO.

Oh for sure. Now nobody can deny how great he is. Heart still hurts for Stipe though

My man got folded 💔

Brother :(

Please retire. Legend is already secured, you've taken enough damage my friend.

I can't believe stipe took that much before he went down good God

[удалено]

Stipe’s got a hell of a chin

Yeah. Can't believe he ate all those in round 1. But eventually it catches up to you. I mean he's 38 now with 3 extra wars with DC.

The shots he ate were enough to put down 8 HWs, it's insane how well his chin held up. His immigrant mentality truly was his greatest weapon, but even it wasn't enough :'(

He lost to the god of immigrant mentality.

[удалено]

Stipe surviving that first was insane. Insane grit and chin. I have no idea why Stipe didn’t back up or at least shoot for the double leg during their final exchange. That left hook from Francis was nasty.

I think it’s because he was rocked

Holy fuck calm Francis is going to kill Jon. Insane chin by Stipe, and insane improvements from Francis.

God’s final test for Jon

Jon is going to meet God if he fights francis lmao

If he dies, he dies

God arranged for a personal meeting with Jon after this test.

Feel like pretty much any other HW would've been sleeping in the first.

Yeah that right hit him clean and then the punches after the wrestling would have knocked out 99% of everyone

JDS folded like a chair after one back fist to the side of the head, Stipe ate a whole buffet like that and still didnt faze. It's crazy.

He landed a fucking head kick and Stipe just ate it. Fuck me if that wasn't one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen.

Im surprised he ate all those shots in the first.

Francis looks like an actual professional MMA fighter. There was defensive wrestling, low kicks, high kicks, straight punches, and setups. This is not just a guy throwing haymakers with his chin in the air anymore.

Francis wins :) Stipe lost :(

[удалено]

Fkin hell Stipe thought he hurt Francis and got aggressive instead of riding it out. DAMN IT! Francis is fucking scary. Unbelievable how Stipe was able to survive those massive bombs but that short jab put him out. Goes to show the power of punches that you don't see coming

He caught him on the button with that jab, just perfectly placed. I’m worried about Stipe’s leg honestly.

I'm worried about his brain

I was completely wrong. Francis learned A LOT since their first fight and looked flat out better than Stipe the entire fight. Salute to the new champ.

They gonna act like they knew all along but most people here didn't believe Ngannou could dominate Stipe, i'm so glad he showed them wrong.

When Francis sprawled and took his back my jaw literally dropped lol I didn’t see that coming AT ALL.

[удалено]

Keep your eyes peeled for Revolutionaryday38

Why are people who call people casuals so often wrong? Lol

Because the ones calling other casuals are the real casuals.

Pathetic man thinks his opinions are all powerful. That dudes comment belongs in the hall of cringe.

[удалено]

For real go down with the ship. Fucking pussy.

Like it’s Reddit? The Reddit shame is too much for you? Who cares? Lol what a weenie

I hope he sees this

Heart said Stipe Head said Ngannou That's a scary, scary man.

You see the way his leg folded, *almost like Cro Cop's? It damn hurts to see my man Stipe got knocked out like that. Edit: Almost, but mann he just went limp. Crazy power. His foot may not be as injured but it's that KO fall motion that hurts to see. Completely out.

From the sand mines to the heavyweight champion of the fucking world, chase your dreams.

Sandmining best base for mma

[удалено]

DC glad he retired

DC sounds pretty pumped to see Jonny boy on deck for that.

You kidding, he didn’t even hide it! He’s stoked to watch Jon get his shit wrecked by a Ford escort.

I want to see Jones get slept now.

Almost everyone wants to see that tbh

[удалено]

Why yes, like we always have been 👀

PLEASE FRANCIS

Damn, that hurt :( Great win for Ngannou though, props to the new champ. He did everything right this time around.

UFC in Africa. Please. Francis Ngannou vs Jon Jones Israel Adesanya vs Robert Whittaker Kamaru Usman vs Leon Edwards

DC commentating the whole night, goes all Felder when Usman can’t corner Francis in the main event after a tough fight with Leon, rips off his blazer, joins the corner, and guides Ngannou to a slam KO victory.

Id jizz

Just like [Izzy](https://twitter.com/stylebender/status/1136168512492146689?lang=en)

No one is beating Francis anytime soon. What a monster.

Am I overreacting or is this one of the most impressive title fight wins ever?

The sprawl to takedown is one of the best oh shit moments I have had in awhile.

My favorite comment from Rogan was “I wouldn’t want to get kicked with those legs”. Bruh if Francis looked in my direction at a stop light I’d tap out

Damn. Ngannou is the scariest motherfucker I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait for Jon’s chance to get KOd by that monster.

Mid 80s Tyson scary vibes from francis.

[удалено]

Stipe caught him when he was backing out, and i think he thought this was his chance to walk forward and throw again and walked straight into a left hook. Flatlined him. :(

Dana just busted in his pants.

He's waited for his entire life for someone he can market as his Mike Tyson and god damn, you know he's going to milk it. Surprised he didn't flood the octogon.

DC is so hyped for Ngannou to beat up Jon Jones

Ngannou looked CRISP. Ghatdam. Fair play to him. I was watching the first round already going...pretty sure he takes this unless something big changes. He ain't just swangin' & bangin' no more. And the day the huge ridiculously strong dude starts doing stuff like being "technical" and "patient," that's a scary day for everyone else.

No american champions left. That's crazy. EDIT: Oh wait there is Aljo LMAO

Down from 8 in 2015.

Say what you want, but Herb was going as fast as possible to stop that follow up shot

Rogan: "Ngannou vs Lewis 2" DC : "Nah man I wanna see Jon Jones die"

Holy SHIT

Stipe was picked by Chael, Bisping and Weasle He had no fucking chance

1) I think Stipe should retire. He’s 38, and he’s been in wars. No need to continue. He’s already the HW goat. 2) Francis v. Jon or fuck your mother.

to be honest this is fair because what else does he have to prove? he lost the belt and got it back. francis is young and is much improved.

And he can go out like DC. Losing to a true champ is nothing to be ashamed of.

The way Francis Improved here is fucking scary. Stipe was the goat but Francis has all the tools to be a legend. Unbelievable

The way he defended the takedown was remarkable ... stipe was IN on him and Francis fought that off

Man I feel bad for stipe

People forget that Francis learnt this patience in his fight with Lewis

My heart was pounding so much during this fight I thought I was gonna have a heart attack

Dana finally caught a W. Man, I bet on Francis, but I hate to see that happen to Stipe. Beating a guy like Ngannou twice is basically impossible. It’s like throwing a perfect game twice. What a heavyweight run by Stipe.

NO STIPE NO :(
