btSport are ******* this up even by their own low standards;
5 times during this fight so far its cut to a feed of a long shot with the octagon empty, the caption "ufc croatia prelims" and fient background music - then after about 5 seconds come back to the action without commentary for a few more seconds.

Good win for Johnson, but Tybura put up a solid effort.  Hopefully he won't be so nervous in his next fight.

Nothing will beat Ngannou's debut attitude, literally standing up a Joe Rogan interview to make sure his opponent is ok.

I think that was him?

Ngannou is pretty scary. He's such a big and powerful dude, but he doesn't seem too labored. Doesn't put a ****-load of effort into his shots, actually manages to throw combinations, yet he can still **** you up if he touches you.

@MikeLovesTacos  Agreed.  I think that Ngannou has the ability to be a serious contender at Heavyweight.

Man, how scary good could Ngannou have been if he had started MMA training at a much younger age.

Probably not that scary, they both looked pretty bad. They gassed quick and mainly threw 1 strike combinations, looked stiff, dropped their hands after throwing punches, weren't very fast, and so on.
