Depends. Striking? Much easier to slow down a 6’5 roided freak than shooting a takedown without risk getting scrambled and squashed into oblivion.

Styles make fights and Ngannou wins because of his athleticism. Greg Hardy is the only guy that's a better athlete than Francis Ngannou. Just because of that, he'd negate all of Ngannou's strengths and he'd have a chance. Not a great one, but he has a good shot.
my money would be on an NFL lineman to beat Michelle Waterson in a street fight.
"I can beat any 300 pounds guy in 10 seconds if h doesn't know what he's doing" So in other words with no fighting/martial arts experience.
I'm quoting him because there are a lot of you who believe that a guy without martial art experience will most likely beat a guy with years or martial art experience solely on size.

These athlete fanboys don't seem to understand this. Even if you're athletic you still have to have SOME degree of fighting spirit. You have to have the desire to inflict violence and also be fearless in a full contact fight. There's also the factor of being talented in one sport not guaranteeing success in another. A great baseball player don't be a great soccer player, for example.
An athletic 230lb guy with literally 6 months of decent training would fuck him up. It'd be a different story vs Usman or Colby because of their wrestling.
I would take Amanda Nunes over every quarterback tbhYou'd be literally retarded to not KNOW that EVERY NFL athlete, save for some of the kickers probably, would absolutely massacre Michelle Waterson in any form of combat, let alone a street fight.
plus those guys all punch like shit.
The "Ray" guy that he fought back in the Kimbo Slice days, was probably around 200 pounds.
He has definitely proven that he can beat heavyweights in a street fight.
Unfortunately this is exactly what it is.
The number of regular sized dudes foaming at the mouth over the size of big men (athletes, martial artists, boxers, actors... Hell even just big dudes out in public) is alarming.
Guys have become absolutely obsessed with size to the point that I think it's actually turned sexual. Look at the way Rogan acts over guys like Ngannou... All he can talk about is his impressive size and the relentless hunger with which he talks about it means there's an unsatisfied urge inside.
I honestly wonder, in a closed room and the prospect of nobody ever finding out, how far these guys would take their obsession with very big guys.

With no martial arts training at all? Sure. But guys like greg hardy and brock lesnar are living proof that athleticism makes up for a lot of experience.
Edit: I know Brock Lesnar wrestled in college. My point was that I would pick Brock Lesnar before his first ufc fight to beat Masvidal now. Size matters when the big guy has even a little bit of skill.
