Francis has the capacity of being more calculated.. for sure.He wouldn’t punch like that in boxing. He took a calculated risk there and it paid off. Watch the second Stipe fight for his compact hard punches.
would he have succeeded in boxing? I don’t know but that barrage isn’t really relevant to the question.
But his biggest advantage in MMA is his physicality and it's crazy to think that most boxing HWs would tower him (Fury, Joshua, Wilder are all taller than him).
