Joe Rogan Analyzes Francis Ngannou's KO Power

You're full. It is. And I wonder how many wrestlers out there are looking at Ngano and going, I wonder, I wonder what would happen if you take that guy down. Yeah, no, I mean, even me being in the same weight class. I mean, that's, that's my wife was asking, who would you be more terrified to fight before the fight? You know, I must wear 262. We can get you down to 205. Get you going, Kio. Yeah, but when Overem and him were facing off, she's like, which one would you prefer to fight? I think Ngano, I think Francis. Really? Yeah, I think so. This was before he sent Alistair into orbit, but I, because you take him down, take him down and then, and then it's your game, hopefully. And so apparently Alistair is so seasoned and everything else. And he does have some takedown defense and he does have some submissions. So I've just seen him be more well rounded. And so, but that was before. Right. Obviously before. Yeah, obviously. Yeah, I would have talked to you before that. And I would have said, no, no. My thought before the fight, when I talked to Shab, Shab and I were talking on the phone, he said, what do you think is going to happen? I think Alistair doesn't make it out of the first round. We went over all the times Alistair's been stopped. That's a big factor. It was a big factor. Is it more than 10 times? Yes, more than 10 times in MMA. I think it was, what was it like, 12 times in MMA, 13 times in MMA, and then three or four times in kickboxing as well. What's that analogy? Is there any truth to it? It's almost like a peanut butter jar or something. The first time you open it, you got to get out a towel and put over it and try really hard to open that lid. And then after that, it's a little easier. And then it's a little easier until eventually you do it enough and you can just spin it off, just flick it. Yeah. Well, he's in the flick it stage, but it doesn't matter. That punch would have knocked him out when he was 20. Oh yeah, that one knocked anyone out. Yeah, that punch was insane. Mark Contour, Roy Nelson, either of those guys. The way he threw it, it was like a leg from the thigh and then whipping that arm with the whole body behind it, just full torque. I mean, it had everything. It had all the power. I was a little skeptical of the ... Well, it was probably from listening to Brendan, but talk about the punching power. Well, who else? Has Mark Hunt hit it? Has Crow Cop kicked it and everything else? And then all of a sudden, once you see that punch, you're like, he sealed the deal. Dude, I've shook homeboy's hand. It's like holding hands with a fucking cinder block. Let's see that again. Boom. See how he comes up from the thigh and the arm whips up? Look at this. Bam. Oh, man. Oh my goodness. And as he's punching, he's moving in position to punch a second time, then he hammer fists him while he's out. Boom. Thank goodness he got in there. Yeah, he certainly ... I mean, the referee got in as quick as he could, but he certainly could have not hit him while he was down. He was out cold.
