I have watched the fight again yesterday and do people like Brendan Schaub are writing off Ngannou prematurely and unfairly. As dominant a victory this was for Stipe there are still positives that Ngannou can look to from the fight.

His conditioning was a major problem and he lacked technical knowledge when it came to grappling leading him to waste even more energy trying to get to his feet. These things can be trained and worked on.

He has crazy power and proved against Stipe his chin is rock solid and that even when getting dominated that he won't break or look for an easy way out, there was never a time when you felt the ref should really step in and save him. Yes he was absolutely shattered but he didn't seem hurt at all when the buzzer went at the end of the fight.

I think Ngannou will become champion someday, Stipe is the greatest heavyweight of all time and I think they'll meet again.
