Stipe fought the best possible fight given what he was facing. I would have liked to see him being more aggressive going for a finish but in a way shutting down N'gannou to the degree that he did and dominating the fight for 99% of the fight


Did N'gannou throw a single body shot? No technique, no fight IQ, no wrestling defense, no ground game and no gas is a LOT of holes in your game. He's young and relatively inexperienced so I'm hoping he'll be able to develop and get better. But his game is chockful of holes. Right now, I am not bullish on him at all.

Btw, unless his corner was soaking those towels in liquid nitrogen he should fire them niggas.

I'm happy for Stipe mostly because of the vindication he must feel but bummed because I really wanted N'gannou to win the title so my cup could runneth over w/ the tears of white racist mma fans.
