Ngannou made his debut at age 27, with no serious combat sports experience before that. If he beats Overeem it makes MMA look bad.
Not that different than Weidman knocking out late 30's Silva 4 years into his MMA career. He had a great wrestling background but so do many others who don't pick up the other aspects like he did.
What is so bad about the existence of naturals like Jones, Weidman, Ngannou?
We have seen time and again that just because someone has a rapid ascent to the top in MMA doesn't mean they will continue to dominate, the sport calibrates.
