No. He is promising, but he needs to prove it. As of now, it looks like he doesn’t want anything to do with the UFC.
Is the BADDEST MMA fighter on the planet NOT in the UFC?

Posting gif of Stipe getting beat by Struve 6 years ago while simultaneously touting a guy who was out on his feet against DJ Linderman a year ago as the baddest man on the planet is some levels of irony only sherdog can achieve.

You don't have to have great TDD to be a winner.
Fedor had crap TDD for the most part (while he could stuff the TD of an aged Mark Coleman in their 2nd outing, he was taken down at will by Bigfoot Silva) as did Anderson Silva, but they're part of the GOAT discussion.

hey, genius, since you think these gifs prove some kind of point, please show me a heavyweight who does not have similar gifs throughout their career?@Final Say Back at it dickriding Stipe as if he's this unbeatable god
Stipe couldn't finish a completely drained Ngannou for 3 rounds while being in a dominant position pretty much the whole fight as well. He isn't the GOAT HW.
I'd EASILY favor Prime Cain over Stipe, as well as Minakov.
and who else has completely drained ngannou the way stipe did? or been dominant over him for even one round, let alone 5? who has finished him?
your logic is terrible. stipe right now would beat every fighter in history in an mma fight, period.

is that cisse? loljust sayin'
that was a close decision, not dominant at all. plus ngannou came a long way. people shit all over him just because stipe made him look bad. they forgot what ngannou was prior to the stipe fight, like hes something different now.
also, they said stipe would lose because it was his first fight against someone who wasnt old and washed up.
the goalposts forever shift

I think he has a solid chance of putting Stipe out.

To be fair... Cain would dominate Ngannou worst than Stipe did.
Ngannou is the most overhyped fighter out there. I would pick a smarter Overeem, JDS, Blaydes (rematch, yes), Werdum, Brock, HW Rumble and Hunt over him. Also Tybura and Tuivasa would be 50/50.

Better poll question: is @BRASIL WAND the worst poster on Sherdog? I think so.
Prove me wrong Sherbros.
Pro Tip: you can't

oh? he would, would he? stipe narrowly avoided ngannou's offense due to his boxing skill. boxing skill cain does not have. so it is not a given, in my opinion, that cain would beat him.
that being said, i do believe its possible. i think youre disrespecting him a little bit too much, but i wont speculate on the other match ups you named.

Well, to be fair, he is considered something different now. He came into that fight with a ridiculous amount of hype because he's a scary big black guy who highlight reel KO'ed the two most frail chinned HWs in the sport. That hype has been dispelled (to at least some degree) and the fact that he is basically clueless on the ground has been exposed to everyone, as well as the fact that apparently he doesn't even like to train his ground game. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not, but what was clear was that he had idea what to do other than try and use his strength to stand up.
However, he's still young and the UFC HW division is pretty much a joke at this point and has very few gifted grapplers, so he'll still likely do quite well in the future...... but some "new breed" athletic monster he is not. Right now he's just another big KO artist with a weak ground game and no cardio.
And ya that was Cisse.

I just think Ngannou is horrible and many people lose to him because they are terrified. For example Overeem.
Ngannou technique is WMMA level. He is just very powerful and kind of fast.
I also dont think he has a good chin for a HW. I remember Blaydes stunning him with some straight punches. Stipe also had him in trouble but he did not pull the trigger and grappled.
IDK... lets see what happens. Im not too high on that guy.
