Cheeks finished him with a body shot in the first round in like 15-20secs. Fuck.
Stipe fought in great fashion. Ngannou connected a good number of times, but couldn't put Stipe away.
Excellent strategy on Stipe's part, making Ngannou wear him like a backpack for 4 rounds while softening up that meat.
Anyone else think the UFC hype train behind Ngannou got out of hand? Dana White was riding those nuts similar to the way he would with the likes of Rousey and McGregor.
I really liked how Stipe didn't allow for Dana to put the belt around his waist. Instead, he took the belt from Dana's hands and gave it to his own coach to do the deed.
