I suspected that Stipe would utilize that game plan and have at least minor success with it (if he survived the first 3 minutes of the fight). But I had no idea he'd be able to wrestlefuck Ngannou to that degree. He really exposed Ngannou's weaknesses on the ground.

Someone posted on here recently that Ngannou was the "most complete" or "most well-rounded" fighter in the world. Lol. If Cain got healthy, he'd do the same to Ngannou; unless Ngannou makes some massive improvements to his wrestling. It seems to me, given where his skills are now, that he is better off working on becomming really difficult to take down. He's just got too high of a mountain to climb with his defense after getting to the mat.

Still, I would love to see Ngannou vs Werdum, especially if Cain can get healthy and challenge for the title while that happens.

Side note: I am excited to see what this Dagestani from the early prelims can do in that division. I know it's only a rusty Gleison Tibau he beat, but that kid looked like he could be for real.
