I’m a huge Stipe fan...was stoked when the UFC signed him..D1 baseball and wrestling with Golden Gloves.what a killer.................that said, Ngannou is the scariest HW I’ve ever seen. Can’t see anyone taking a clean shot from him and Stipe is hittable. He might have to run in circles for a few rounds, in hopes Ngannou can’t catch him and gasses. ******* monster.  If he was born in America he’d probably be in the NFL and we wouldn’t get to see this top level athlete who’s a true HW. Awesome, just awesome!

awesome post-fight speech, he was reffering to the lybian slave-trade discovered recently. Ngannou is the man right now. I hope he's the next champ.

Just signing in and I wanted to say is awesome to watch Eddie Alvarez perform so good after his last loss to McGregor and NC to Dustin.

I don’t like how holloway is acting he’s a great fighter but this taunting is disrespectful he’s doing it to try and provoke Aldo into getting aggressive and wasting energy. If your the best just win by being better

I would agree but the judges don’t have the stats they landed similar amounts but Holloway is throwing twice as much so they probably think some of those are landing . Can’t believe all these people were saying cub should have got this fight that wouldn’t be competitive at all

Yeah holloway finished the second stronger but the judges are noticing the impact of the leg kicks. Both could go either way
