I was expected on this result since Ngannou is more active compare to Velasquez who left the court two years ago, nevertheless its indeed a good fight. Maybe Ngannou wants this win more compare to Velasquez, luckily my bet is on the right side. Congrats to both of this fighter for a great show, the next fight of Ngannou will be more interesting to me.

Did you really watch the fight? How can you call it a good fight when it ended in a bizarre way? Yes, Francis is more active but it's more of the knee of Cain Velasquez giving out. Yes he was clipped but I don't think it really did a lot of damage. Cain can't protect himself and his knee and the referee stop the fight. It's just sad to see cardio Cain exiting like this and it seems his UFC best days are over.

Ngannou beats Velasquez in 25 secs. Velasquez leg slipped and his knee gave out. Thats just hard luck for him for that to happen so early into the match. Was pretty much a flawless victory for Ngannou. He might be ready to fight again next week..by the looks of things lol. Hope the future hall of fame star Velasques looked just fine during the end at the interview. Hopefully we get to see him fight again soon.

An easy win for Ngannou and looks like he really prepared for this fight, Velasquez can do a lot if he was able to depend himself and stand for at least another round. Well, this is just a short playing time but I enjoyed the fight. Hopefully they will face each other again, Velasquez is still a good fighter.

Francis Ngannou clipped him with a good jab and it looked like Caine Velasquez injured his knee and took a good upper cut and finished the fight in the first round, Francis is an animal with real big power and with this fight we never know when Velasquez will be back as i am sure he slipped his knee during this fight and he will take another couple of years until he comes back.

I'm surprised you guys aren't talking about Kron Gracie's debut in the UFC.
He is the son of Rickson and a former Jiu Jitsu world champion. Hi MMA record is 4-0.
Still young also at 30 years old.

He was having the lineage but he is still raw in MMA but he is a good ground fighter but not championship material right now, he won the fight in the first round via submission but with opponents getting better with good striking then it will be a challenge for him if he did not pick up his standing game.

@TheNewAnon135246. No hehehe. He only hits like a Ford Escort according to Dana.

In any case, we do not know what kind of Cain is going in the octagon tomorrow. It might also be the no cardio version that fought Fabricio Werdum.

Not sure if anyone has beat him yet but Francis Ngannou has/had the world record for the hardest punch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC_t7h1JTls

I know, I was only joking hehehe. It was Dana who said that Francis Ngannou hits like a Ford Escort which Cain mocked and said that he was not impressed on the comparison.

I should've pulled the trigger on the over at 2.18. It's at 1.90 just around 18 hours later... What's the line for 'Velasquez KO in round one' in your bookie?

Right now, Velazques KO in round 1 @4.50, and round 2 @5.50, not bad. I also have over 2.5 rounds @3.50, which I'm probably gonna take.

those youtube comments lol Seems like the majority of people are expecting a KO from Ngannou in round 1.

A lot of hype around Ngannou vs Velasquez, but we also a few good fights (for instance, Vick vs Felder, and Sterling vs Rivera), anyone planning on going with a parlay?

No man can 'survive' Ngannou's deadly punches, one hit and it's done.

Quote from: tokeweed on February 16, 2019, 10:11:08 AM

What does everybody think of this fight lasting for just under 1.5 rounds? The line opened at 1.85 and it's currently at 1.72. The over is at 2.18. I'm tempted to go for the over cos I think Cain will be mostly clincing and wrestling.

I would go for the over. I've said it before, I think Cain will stay from Ngannou in the first few rounds then finish him in the later rounds when Ngannou is tired.

Ngannou KO in round 1 @5.00 / Ngannou to win @2.40. I'm tempted, but I'll stick to my guns, don't let me down Cain.

That fight was nuts.

Lol, you guys give me some smiles regarding the outcome of the game. Grin

. I thought that the Velasquez vs Ngannou has ended already but it seems I lost my body clock again. Still 3 hours to go and I seen reports that MVP vs Daley is a boring fight because its tactical chess match. Anyways, hope that Cain survived against the power punching Francis.

I stand with Ukraine.

It's less than 4 hours left till the fight, and it looks like most bettors are regarding Velasquez as a favorite and Ngannou as underdog. Not saying that majority is always right, but this time I think it is. To win the fight, having superhuman endurance is better than having the strongest punch in the world. Or it's not? We'll find out in less than 4 hours. And although the top comment for this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vNiYDMinQg

reads "Cain doesn’t look the same as he use to.", I root for Velasquez, and I wish him all the best.

Francis Ngannou has faced Curtis Blaydes, one of the better wrestlers in the division, twice. Its been said by Dana White and Francis Ngannou's former coach that Ngannou didn't train seriously for his fight with Stipe Miocic, which is the reason he looked terrible. Ngannou's wrestling and takedown defense could be underrated if this is true.

I really do not believe this because everyone knows Stipe Miocic has a background in amateur wrestling and boxing before transition to MMA and if someone is fighting for the belt, does anyone neglect ground game entirely in MMA and if Ngannou did that he is not championship caliber, the Cain Velasquez i know is a better wrestler than Miocic so he better prepare this time or else feel the grind.

Ended in a no contest as Matt Mitrione busted Sergei's balls in 15 seconds. Grin

Bellator 216 is tomorrow.
Michael Page   vs.   Paul Daley
Cheick Kongo   vs.   Vitaly Minakov
Mirko Cro Cop   vs.   Roy Nelson

Most anticipated fight with MVP going against a legit fighter at last in Daley, if he could win then we will understand his levels, i have a small parlay on MVP and Vitaly and Cro Cop as he looks huge in Bellator now, juice allowed because there is no testing i guess. Wink

I dont see a betting line for this female match maybe because it is supposed to be so 1 sided.
But the debuting 20 year old model should win with no problem.

It looks like every UFC fight fans is really hype around the come back of Cain. I can feel that fighting fans wants to see the old Cain back in the Octagon, but we can't discounted the fact that Ngannou has one punch knock-out, can Cain's chin hold up if Francis hits him?

We all know that Francis Ngannou is a knockout artist. 5 of his fights ended on a first round stopage, the other 2 are second round. Cain needs to work on his cardio to last up to the last round since Ngannou's last 2 losses are due to decision and he doesn't throw too many punches. He is waiting for the right time for the kill. That's why on his 2 losses if we look at the number of punches thrown, his percentage is very low.
