Accuracy is the difference. Ngannou throws wide looping punches hoping to connect. Prime Tyson could hit you where he wanted when he wanted, and there was nothing you could do to prevent it.
Werdum after beating Gonzaga. They made the Mir-Nog and Lesnar-Couture mini tournament when Lesnar was 1-1 in UFC. Werdum lost to JDS, but in retrospect it does not look bad.
Stipe is no longer interested in fighting. The Cormier trilogy took everything out of him. Stipe is a serviceable but not great wrestler, and does not have single hit KO power (Werdum stupidly ran into his outstretched fist). It is an easy matchup for Jones now.
They both hit equally hard but accuracy is the difference. Ngannou throws wide looping punches hoping to connect. Prime Tyson had pinpoint accuracy. He could hit you where he wanted when he wanted and there was nothing you could do to prevent it.
Size matters up until around 220 lbs. At that size guys are all capable of knocking each other out with a single good punch. The human brain can only withstand so much force.
There should be one division below lightweight. Book Volk-Ortega and Moreno-Sterling for the fall. The winners meet in early 2022 for the unified featherweight title.
