I'm all over Francis tonight, nothing against Stipe. But imo NG was really hesitant and not ready for that first title fight. I think we will see a different him tonight.
As for Stipe, 3 last fights all against Cormier tends to put you on that cruise control also the fact that hes 38. Hes arguably one of the best HWs weve ever seen, but I just can't see Francis letting this fight get passed him. He knows he needs to finish it within 3 rounds, it's hard to judge his cardio with all that muscle mass.
