Francis vs Aspinall

[chinarice]

To the mat over and over, end for Francis. If the first 30 didn’t work, rinse and repeat to boring decision or Francis gets caught in a sub. Gane ate his punches, they’re not world ending despite the hype (though obviously very powerful, no disrespect).

A whole 9 over the course of 25 minutes. This was also Francis who immediately got surgery on his knee after the fight because it was that bad going into the fight.

If Aspinall can't take him down, Francis beats him standing. I don't underestimate Francis anymore, he's a guy willing to evolve and adapt and learn from his mistakes to become a complete fighter.

Francis wins all day IMO. He's too strong for Tom to take down and I don't think he has the same level of striking defense Gane has to be able to avoid getting clipped for 5 rounds cause all Francis needs is one. As we've seen wihen he knocked the mountain of a man that Fury is on his ass with just one.

If Aspinall can't take him down, Francis beats him standing. I don't underestimate Francis anymore, he's a guy willing to evolve and adapt and learn from his mistakes to become a complete fighter.

That's exactly what makes Francis so scary along with his power. Every time we saw Francis after his loss to Lewis, he would be a different fighter from his last fight. A better improved version from before. Not only does the next guy have to worry about what new tools Francis has, they also has to worry about his equalizer.

His cardio wasn't even a factor when he went 9 minutes in those fights Lol

He might have Cain's cardio, or he might have even worse cardio than Francis. Nobody knows yet.


Somebody else chiming in with opinions before actually watching fights Lol

He gassed in both fights that went past the sixth minute.

 

[Stagliano]

Lol Ngannou has been underrated in and outside the cage. According to his haters he'd lost to anybody and he should have never left the UFC because "he's a dumb and cupid africans" who should be grateful to Dana for not working in the sandmines anymore.

You didn't watch the fights, or just a lame trolling attempt

Either way, just lame all around

 

[jitzmonkey]

I like both
Tom would need to not only hit and run, but also work on getting to “off” angles where the lineal champ can’t get his hands on the Brit.
If he can do all that and hamper Francis’ movement maybe with some calf kicks, then some well timed TDs and even a heel hook (I know…Gane) could very well get him a stoppage which might not be necessary to get the win.

That said, Ngannou’s cardio has been looking really good in his last few outings; and the power?
Forget it!

No its actually pretty clearly you who didn't watch them.

He gassed in both fights and arguably quit in both of them as well.

But by all means continue pretending otherwise. Meanwhile Ngannou has went the distance in his last two fights.

 

[Fight Professor]

Aspinall, Pavlovich and Ngannou can beat each other on a good day.

 

[NoSmilez]

It's either Francis in two rounds by knockout or Aspinall wins. Francis is really tough but his cardio is always going to be an issue.

What chin? Blaydes sat his ass down.

He arguably quit by getting DQd Jon Jones/Matt Hamil style? And this is apparently what a gassed 22 year old Aspinall looks like at the end of round 2 right before the leg lock:

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I favor Asp but Francis can sleep anyone

 

[chiefwiggum]

Man... Aspinall is the next goat apparently despite being 1-1 after 5 mins. And that win came from a 44 year old arlovski.

He was dropped twice in this fight lmao but continue pretending otherwise by selectively picking out a 5 second interval as his opponent was trying to get back to their feet.

Dropped? 22 year old Aspinall was taken down 20 seconds into the fight, and a couple other times after that.

"Theres absolutely no doubt Ngannou has better conditioning."

Your dogmatic opinion which is likely rooted in some sort of bias holds zero weight at this point. He might have Cain level cardio at this point, or even worse cardio than Ngganou. Nobody knows yet, so stop lying to yourself.
