But Stipe could also beat Ngannou on feet.If mediocre wrestler Stipe could take down that Windmilling Ugandan at will, I’m 100% sure prime 2x NCAA champ Brock would.
By prime you mean healthy and doping or just healthy?I haven't seen anyone easily take down Ngannou while fresh.
Even Stipe had to stand with him for a decent amount before the takedowns started working and he has beaten Cain and Blaydes x2.
Big fan of Brock and think too many people here underestimate him but I think Ngannou TKO's prime healthy Brock.
I would say Brock CAN win ... but most likely would lose since he kinda quits when he gets hit with a hard shot.

Stipe had the striking to set up wrestling vs Ngannou. If Brock can't get it soon this fight ends worse then his fight with Reem...
Most of Carwin's punches missed the target.When has Brock Squarehead had a questionable chin? Dude ate DOZENS of flush punches from Shane friggin Carwin, arguably the hardest puncher the division has ever seen.
He’s never come close to being removed from consciousness. His body however was crap after the diverticulitis surgeries.
Ngannou has a terrible gas tank, if he can’t get Brock out in the first OR gets taken down immediately he would turn into a WMMA fighter like he did against Stipe.
TLDR: Prime Brock has too much chin, Wrestling, and cardio for Ngannou.
