Ngannou by ko, round 1.
I'd be betting (probably with underdog odds) on Aspinall. Guy's got grappling, chin, speed, and knockout power
What chin? Blaydes sat his ass down.
He barely moved for about 5 of those rounds which cost him the decisionFrancis went 10 three minute rounds with Fury. I don’t really know if his cardio is as bad anymore. Of course, mixing in wrestling is a whole different story.
Aspinall ate a really hard shot from Pavlovich like it was nothing, so I assume he'd do well with his crazy good movment and speed. Aspinall couldn't even barely train for that fight either because of a back injury.
Not much is known about Aspinall's cardio, but if it's decent and he weathers the early 2 round storm Francis has in him before his power/speed drop off, Aspinall would likely be able to take him down and submit him given that even Gane was able to get a takedown on him.
lol, what? Come on.Like any top HW against Francis, don't get caught with his power, make it an MMA fight and they probably win. Same goes for Aspinall.
Get caught by Francis however and its likely over.
Thats why we love it, to see which way it goes.
His cardio wasn't even a factor when he went 9 minutes in those fights LolWe know that Aspinall has lost every single fight that has went past the sixth minute
Theres absolutely no doubt Ngannou has better conditioning.
Somebody else chiming in with opinions before actually watching fights LolWhat chin? Blaydes sat his ass down.
Francis would ground and pound him to sleep, he'd be too strong for Aspinull to wrestle.
Whilst I think Aspinall is the most interesting talent at HW since Francis he does to me look to have a bit of the "Rockholds", not to the same degree and he does have genuine ko power himself but the idea he's bouncing around doing head/upper body movement without being quite as good at it as he thinks he is, Sergei caught him well very fast and with Francis that could well be nighty night.Over the length of the fight, it would be important for Aspinall to be able to keep from slugging it out with Frank and work the ground. Great fight IMO.
lol, what? Come on.
Miocic Ngannou 1 was more Ngannou thinking he's Costa; being an idiot swinging full power and gassed himself out in three minutes. In the second fight he out techniqued Miocic and in the Gane and Fury fight he proved if he paced himself he can go the full rounds. Thinking he's not a good MMA fighter just because... why? He touch people and they fall. He's almost never needed to showcase his full arsenal.
Aspinwall is a great fighter. Even without names on his resume we can see he's special. However, acting like he can take down a person who reversed Overreem and stuffed Blaydes and Miocics takedowns is just silly.
