Travis Fulton has a 141 more submissions than Werdum. That doesn't make him a better grappler.
Ngannou has only been grappling for 5 years of his life and he's only been a professional fighter, with professional training, for 3 years.
He isn't like Stipe who wrestled for half his life in college, etc.
When Francis goes up against someone of Werdum or Cain's skill sets, he will need to end their life quickly or else run the risk of looking like the blue belt he is.
And I don't just mean the ground game, we're talking clinch game as well.
That's what was thought about Overeem's clinch. He has one of the best clinch games and knees in the division, deadly clinch game and when he locked up with Ngannou it looked like Ngannou controlled him with ease.
