How easily would Prime-Big Nog have submitted Francis?

[Bloodworth]

He would take a 2.5 round beating until he would get the sub

Lol @ imagining Ngannou having to tough out a 10 minute first round in PRIDE.

Even in 5 minute rounds Nog could tire him out because he would be so active. Throwing a high volume of jabs, throwing combos, clinching up, knees and dirty boxing, going for takedowns even if they get stuffed the first 5 minutes, attempting to pull guard or half guard even if it doesn't work right away. Nog would be attacking from all angles and making that boy work. Before you know it, Ngannou would be gassed and getting treated like a white belt versus a high level black on the mat, because that's what this truly is.

Nog might give him the armbar

Or the Omoplata to triangle

Or the triangle armbar

Pick your poison, rookie white belt.

Lol he would get KO'd trying to throw a high volume of jabs. Better pray for a takedown

Nog went 10 years before he was ever KO'ed and when it finally happened, he was already far past his prime, visibly older and slower, and was suffering from a bad staph infection.

If you would have seen all the shots Nog absorbed in his first 10 years you would know the chances of him being KO'ed by Francis would be small.

Nog actually had good boxing defense too. He just took some huge shots in a few fights that were mind blowing.

Put it this way: if Ngannou couldn't KO Stipe Miocic, even after landing some hard shots, it is highly unlikely he would KO Nog, who had one of the best chins and recovery rates we have ever seen.

I am sure Ngannou hits hard and Stipe has a good chin too but Ngannou telegraphed a lot too. Let Francis throw everything he has got at Nog. The more he throws, the faster he will gas. Nog would block or evade most and the ones he would take he would eat like a champ. Once Ngannou is gassed Nog would have his way with him.

Nog was too small in his prime and would get koed quick.

 

[Taric]

Nog was too small in his prime

He's 6'3, 235. That's taller and heavier than Cain Velasquez.
The hell are you rambling about?

 

[HendoIsChamp]

He's 6'3, 240. The hell are you rambling about?

And he'd look like he should be cutting to 205 if you saw him standing next to Ngannou.

.... Francis just got beat up by a guy that weighs 240.

Nog is smaller than Miocic. He also has a less favorable style as getting beat until his opponent gets tired wouldn't work very well against someone with such ridiculous power and speed like Ngannou.

Nog has fought better strikers with ridiculous power and speed. Nog could take everything Francis throws at him. The more Francis throws, the faster he would gas. Nog would have his way with him at that point.

I can't wait to see how Francis performs in his next fight but he really needs to work on his cardio, his takedown defense and his striking.
