Yep, completely agree
I think he's better than Rogers, but he's not that far off. His skill set is very limited. Specifically his grappling.

He isnt a “star”, if he wrecks Stipe then sure but i dont know a single casual fan who has heard of the guy despite UFC’s immense push on all their social media platforms
Sucks he hasn't had time to show his all round skill but that is what is so intriguing, a decent ground game could make him very, very hard to beat. Can't wait for this fight. I prey to the JBG they get there healthy.
Because you know ALL the casual fans, right?
His 4 sub wins were against much lower caliber opponents. He hasn't shown what his ground game is like against the best. Guess we will find out.Well, I think he has shown his all around skill, its just most fans are not ready to accept it. With 11 wins, all by way of finish, 4 of which were submissions, I'm not sure how much he will have to do to make people understand. This guy is the real dead. Even if he loses to Stipe, he's still the real deal and a deadly threat moving forward.
If Ngannou beats Stipe you are going to see him become a HUGE star. He's HW, he hits hard as shit, he's likeable with a great backstory. He is going to be a huge star if he wins his next fight. Get ready for it.

Quit being an ass while everyone else in here is having a rational discussion
I have alot of friends who are into mma but dont follow every event like i do and most have never even heard of Ngannou, despite knowing Overeem
Yeah, you can feel it ready to blow up.
As far as whether Ngannou is hyped, I think there needs to be some balance. Anyone calling him all hype hasn't watched the fights. Ngannou is clearly one of the best HWs in the UFC. Even if Stipe or Cain could beat him, how does being beaten by the champ prove that you aren't good?
But there's still reason to be slightly cautious. He may not be exactly the world beater he has seemed to be thus far.
Sherdog has become too allergic to hype.
Travis Fulton has a 141 more submissions than Werdum. That doesn't make him a better grappler.In what way can you quantify that his grappling is severely limited? He has 4 submission wins in only 12 fights. He has 4 times as many subs as the current champion Stipe.
People on here have way too high of standards for newer fighters. They always claim they need to do more and have long runs to prove themselves. It’s mma you don’t need to have tons of fights to be the best or create your legacy. Look at Shogun, a lot of people consider him a legend based off of few fight run from 2005.
