    Ngannou was better conditioned. UFC has better training ?

    Goes to show that what the UFC guys are doing is on another level. Training in UFC is much more versatile and it showed on the night. In my opinion Ngannou was much better condition due to his allround training. In the clinch Ngannou was much stronger and was not fazed by the Furys punching, built like cement.

    The best conditioned fighter on the planet Bud Crawford might disagree. So would a prime Floyd. If mma conditions so well how come stars like Brock and Connor were gassed by round 3?

      lots of boxers have very good conditioning and some have poor, im sure its the same in mma dont watch much of it now, i usually associate mma with peds, rightly or wrongly but not sure if its improved over the years, lots of them look suspect to me, but then again mma fans could say the same for example about joshua etc & lots of boxers pop dirty as well

        It’s HW conditioning isn’t so important. Fury is a mess it’s not hard to be in that condition.

          "Conditioned" and "Fury" have never been words you can put together ...

            Yet he is always in the gym, always working, so maybe he is doing something wrong in camp ?

              It shows the level of delusion that people have for furry. Everyone is blaming boxing, blaming mayweather. Somone even blamed wilder. The truth is the blame is strictly on fury and has absolutely nothing to do with boxing.

                It's interesting and ironic that you would mention Crawford, a man with a strong grappling background to go along with his boxing.

                Grappling endurance is different than striking endurance, Both type of fighters who are only well versed in one type usually struggle in MMA.

                Boxing may be a striking sport, but the grappling that they do is often a big factor in fights.

                Ngannou is known for having below average cardio. Interestingly in this fight he displayed good cardio, in fact he looked like the fresher fighter at the start of the last round. It's because Fury's grappling is at a much, much lower level that Ngannou is used to from MMA. Fury was the one struggling on the inside.
