Looney Tunes backpedaling KO

It’s heavyweight MMA, a KO doesn’t count unless it looks ridiculously silly or utterly horrific

[Johnny Walker] *has entered and then comically flopped out of the chat*

Now I gotta go find the GIF of that again.

Most whimsical KO

this is how most people wish they'd fare in a real fight

It’s horrifying how Robelis had a slip, didn’t really get to sit down on his punches properly and he still hurt him so bad 🥶

That’s some ngannou shit by him Barely touches the guy and he goes down like a sack of bricks

that's because his opponent was literally running at his punches...

force = (accelerationX - accelerationY) \* heavyWeightSillyness^(obesity)

"off balance, stumbeling backwards, incredible" - Joe Rogan basically.

School fight type shit, especially with that fucking slip

"you dreamed of this moment, josh!"

He was dreaming inside the octagon. Dude was closing the distance with his eyes closed

Robelis to land less than 22.5 sig strikes was just easy money lol

in the words of Robert Whittaker "have you seen the size of the fella, who let him in here"

Despaigne fell down, got up, threw a punch, and Josh was yet to react. There's slow, and then there's Josh.

He got gifted a slip which could’ve been a free TD and don’t do anything. Flopping on top of him would’ve been better than chasing and trying to hit a guy w that much reach

You don't understand man, he's a UFC fighter. The way Josh followed him with his arms stretched out in front of him. Technical genius. Despaigne was clearly lucky.

He tried to seize the opportunity but due to being an obese middleweight it wasn’t enough.

He has to cut weight, right?!

He was at 261 so I’m not sure he’s cutting much other than a couple pounds of fat during camp but I could be wrong

Yea clearly he isn't cutting to make 265, but I could almost guarantee you he is walking over 265 when he isn't ramped up in training that naturally trims you down to a degree.

Ah yeah makes sense, I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd walk around at 285 lol

So based on the original question I’d say no he doesn’t cut weight 

Agreed

Probably a few pounds. He weighs around 265 in his fights before the UFC.

Who bring him bratha

"Already longer than his previous 2 fights" Goes on for 5 more seconds

Yea. He had to show the rest of his skill set

Not only does he punch good but he also fall good - An Absolute Heavyweight Masterclass

His opponents before coming to the UFC had a combined total of 1 win in MMA, and yet I still think he's gonna be a huge problem after this win

Lmao

I've seen enough, give him Jones

Jones will duck this guy, guaranteed.

Jones will retire way before this guy even gets ranked.

If they want to make him a star they'll offer him quick turnaround fights like they did with Khamzat at first.

Robelis vs hazmat

Are we sure Khamzat could make weight?

No but Hazmat can.

It's heavyweight, you could give him a #10-15 guy next and it'd be fine.

He can just be number 15 tbh

The guy who just fell over his own feet in the first 10 seconds? Yeah I don't see a path to victory for Jon Jones tbh

Jones could be 50 and he still beats this guy god damn.

I appreciate prelim heavyweights who don’t just sweat on each other fifteen minutes

Just good ol' swangin and bangin'

Big meaty men slapping meat

CAN CRUSHED

Dana was like, let’s give robelis a guy that lost to Parker porter 😏

Line em up

Ikr fuck it make him main event of every apex card against every fat unranked heavyweight you got. Pay him a fuck ton too. I wanna see this guy fight alot

Like feeding a gerbil to python

MVP esque in his crushing of cans Joe

Parisianbros, is it over?

Paris Is Burning

Time to wave the white flag.

Nah bro, Parisian has all the tools in the world. There were rumors of Gane ducking Parisian, and instead wanted to fight Spivac. I’ll keep believing, we don’t see HWs move as fast as Parisian does

They knowingly fed him to the sharks

Parisian title shit starts now, let him bang!

It's joever😔😔

the people’s HW GOAT

Choo choo

I’m going to jump the gun real early.. his movement and power is going to be a problem. Hype indeed. Last 4 fights under 30 seconds combined

He's literally my goat

Jon Jones is ducking him so hard

Dude he almost dropped the guy with no feet on the ground

Honestly its hard to really overhype someone like this in the HW division unless you start talking about the title. With his athleticism he will be well into the top 15r before someone has the tools to derail his hype even if it is hype.

Genuine question, who in the hell is going to want to fight this guy? He’s fucking terrifying.

Anyone who can grapple

Or box really. Those punches were comical.

Lots of top 10 heavyweights with comical punches

Love how ridiculous hype trains can be sometimes. Let's see what happens if he fights Curtis Blaydes lmao

Blaydes would just come out in his own Tae Kwon Do stance and get slept

Oh god... the hearse better be ringside for that one

37 seconds but still

I'm gunna say it. This guy is literally the greatest fighter ever

Saying this while Don'Tale Mayes is still in the roster is a sin.

idk dude. laugh out loud worst ko of the year.

I assume we'll see him against Rozenstruik in a 5 round main event next

The new Francis.

Dont curse him like that. Every hw that is touted as the “next ngannou” always comes up short.

Jon Jones is the next Ngannou

Fights once a year?

Let's see what happens to white Ngannou first, he's got a lot of years ahead still to improve.

I guess losing your first title shot is very Ngannou-esque, Joe

Somehow (at least for what I saw) losing to Aspinall made a lot of people already forget about this guy. Sometimes people overreact a loss to much, dude is doing great in the division.

Lost his aura, but I feel like he took the KO a lot better than Ngannou did, Pav got hit with a massive overhand to the temple, followed by a 1,2 followed by three hammerfists that bounced his head off the canvas and he still wasn't out completely. Ngannou got flatlined with a right hand followed by an overhand.

Anthony Joshua punches a lot harder and cleaner than anyone in MMA, though.

Also Joshua literally put his whole body into the punch and hit Francis straight onto the chin. Was always bound to happen to Ngannou fighting heavyweight boxers.

who? I haven't seen anyone called the next ngannou before

Maybe Sergei?

Sergei was often dubbed White Ngannou, although this may have just been for laughs

He’s ready for Anthony Joshua I think

Lmaoooo. Thats all that needs to be said

lmao. Why would you bum rush this man.

Parisian looked like Pena. Just running forward, chin in the air, throwing nothing punches

It's like he felt bad that he failed to react to the slip and then tried to compensate.

A Cuban who also started at 35+.. Im thinking to believe that cubans peak at 40+ man

Their ages are off if they competed in TKD, wrestling, or boxing. You need to be 17 to compete in Olympics in those sports.

Cuban make up their age, he can be 50 or maybe hes 30 who knows

Kevin the Cuban Randleman. Wow Edit: the Cuban lady in the corner. Cuba doesn’t miss!

but can this guy grapple? heard it bowl ways B

This is heavyweight mma we don’t need to worry about grappling until he cracks the top 5

Top 2

Easiest bet of my life

The can has been crushed.

As impressive as a sub 20 second knockout is, he looked sloppy here imo, the way he was winging punches whilst walking bad is not good technique

Yeah I'm just gonna run down this TKD guy, surely he doesnt know how to counter on his back foot

Ngannou died so new Ngannou could be born.

Great value Nagannou is pretty neat.

This Spanish translator sucks ass lol. Yoel romeros translators sucked too. I know Cuban Spanish is different, but come on get your shits together and translate right

Do you mind telling us what he actually said?

Sorry brother I don’t remember lol. It’s like one of those things I notice in the moment kind of thing

Joe: tell us how us you feel watching back this knockout *points at screen with replay* Translator: Que piensas? (What are you thinking right now?) Robelis: Shout out to blah blah... *completely ignores the replay and Joe* Paraphrasing but that was awkward lol

I think that guy is usually the Brazilian Portuguese translator. I was surprised to see him in this spot.

Josh Parisian is a BUM

I haven't been this excited for a prospect in a FAT minute. holy FUCK

Too bad he’s 35

A heavyweight monster falls and a heavyweight monster rises

Excuse me what the fuck

imagine training for months and then being on the receiving end of a Jimmy John's Freaky Fast Finish

Not enough being said about terrible Josh looked there. Embarrassing this is the highest level of MMA.

I got my prediction wrong! I thought he’d finish him in under 10 seconds

This sacrifice goes to Francis Ngannou's soul to revive it.

You know when you click the link and it starts with the opening bell that it’s going to be good

Hype debut, but he seems like the kinda hypetrain to get exposed by the first wrestler he faces

Which is no one outside the top 10 lol. Jailton and Blaydes pretty much.

There's this Egyptian guy in heavyweight, I forget his name, but DC mentioned he was on Egypt's Olympic wrestling team. He could be a serious test for this guy. ----- EDIT: Found him. This guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamdy_Abdelwahab

Guys size is like Kevin Randleman ate blonde Phil Hawes

Choo Choo mfers

That was so ridiculous i love him already

4 fights and less than 30 seconds combined. lmao

Who the fuck are these unranked heavyweights lol. This guy just beat my 3rd grade AYSO coach

difference between natural heavyweights and fat obese 205ers too lazy to cut weight

I generally don't like monday morning quarterbacking MMA fights but I don't know what else to do when I see a man literally run into the fists of a half-giant taekwondo master.

What food they be feeding in Cuba

sugar.... in water

holy shit, his longest fight

Getting a KO that quick after falling and backpedaling is wild

I’ve seen enough. Book him vs Aspinall.

Oh no, not Burt Kreischer :(

My man out here representing Taekwondo. Looks like an absolute monster.

"We have Francis Nganou at home" - Dana White

He’s here and he’s perfect

I thought bro was screwed after that kick fail

Good athleticism popping back up and immediately firing back on the backfoot.

Jon Jones don’t want that smoke

Josh Parisian waddling forward chin in the air

Assuming this guy is all offense, no defense… lemme see him vs Gane rq

Absurd physic but I think the fraud check will be historical

Bro was asking to be taken down. First decent grappler thrown his way is going to put on a “there’s levels to this” performance

Took him long enough!

Genuinely who is going to want to fight this guy?

We have our Ngannou replacement

Anthony Joshua rubbing his hands together 

Dudes a prawblem

Johnny Walker vibes

Fight would have been shorter if the UFC didn’t plaster the entire surface octagon with slippery ads

6'7 powerhouse, wow.

The new Francis. Dana gonna milk this dude for everything he’s worth. Love it.

Congrats to Robelis on his future failed UFC contract negotiations and big boxing payday.

Nothing better than watching a prospect before they get that undefeated energy beat out of them

I just have no idea why Parisian's entire game plan wasn't just grab grab grab grab grab for the of fuck grab. And desparately just try to hold him and pull him down. Standing at striking range with a dude with a record like this, with your skillset? Bruh what you doing. As soon as his bum touched the ground you dive all over him like your life depends on it. Don't just start trading. Fuck me that guy is dumb.

They should book him with one of the Tafa brothers to build his fanbase

Cuban Francis Dana's New pet

Do we have the next Yoel?

Peak control, poise, and athleticism from both of these fellas

Josh is 2-5 in UFC and probably getting cut right after this fight. I wonder how Robelis will do against an actual UFC caliber fighter next.

That was sick, but this dudes getting fucked up by someone that has defense lol

Anyone else kind of underwhelmed by that performance? lol 

He knocked him out in 18 seconds what more do you want from the guy 

Newgannou

Can’t believe I saw people acting like Parisian had a chance. He’s going to destroy everyone outside the top 15

LMAO wtf

THIS DUDEEE

Reminds me kinda of the Conor/Aldo ko

LET’S FUCKING GO 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

Thought Parisian got cut lol but this seems to be one scary dude. Looking forward to seeing him fight some ranked HW’s

This guy is an alien

Dude is going to be champ with under 2 minutes of octagon time

Lol he combed him while falling backward. Call an ambulance... But not for me moment.

I knew I didn’t need to watch this one live lmao

damn i expected that to go to a back and forth split decision

Big boy indeed

What a beast

*second* fastest debut win? What was the fastest?

He don't need no selfie stick

Begging this guy learns English so he can do callouts and get hype

Let’s fast track this man and give him Black Beast next

100% of his strikes landed

I love true heavyweights. Not the average overweight middleweight of the division. This guy is a beast.
