Modern era HW's?
Mike Tyson never competed in MMA, he was/is a boxer.
Its a different sport, as Ngannu found out, the hard way.
Tony Tucker, Larry Holmes & Frank Bruno are equally as tall as Ngannu & Mike Tyson disposed of them.
You cant carry MMA weight/bulk into a World Championship Boxing Ring vs a mobile HW who weighs around 220lbs like Tyson, Usyk, Holyfield, Ali, Frazier etc because if you cant get them outa there quick, their superior stamina & strength endurance will catch up to you.
Boxing is NOT MMA, MMA striking is NOT boxing, they are complete different sciences.
If you needed surgery done on yer brain or yer heart you wouldn't let a paramedic do it would you? No you would get a specialist, a surgeon.
Boxers are surgeons, MMAsts are paramedics.

You get 5 mins to end a fight. At most you get 5 banks of 5 min opportunities. Sometimes injuries happen & you have to go into damage limitation mode & still try to win the fight, via the safety net, the social security if you like, points system.
Theres no doubt Sandhagen got injured, just like there is no doubt he spectacularly finished top 5 fighters like Edgar, Moraes, Yadong & he didnt wimp out against former Champs Yan & Dillashaw. Theres no easy fights in the UFC, theres DEFINITELY no easy fights inside the top 10 in the UFC where everyone you fight is either a contender, a former champ or someone who is about to take a major scalp n become a contender.
Therefore what he did vs Font, same as McGregor did vs Holloway, is that he adjusted his tactics, overcame his injury & won ugly.
Its a part of what makes MMA so great, theres 1,000 ways to end the fight in 5 mins & perhaps from a martial arts perspective whats even more admirable is that there are 1,000 ways to survive, to stay alive, until help arrives.
Sandhagen is one of the very best out there.

Since when did being a champ who lost his title in his first defense, in a fight that wasnt even close, guarantee you a rematch ?
Even in his first title reign, he did absolutely nothing to Romero, Cannonier, Vetorri or Whittacker 2.
Its not like he was Anderson Silva or Jon Jones & leaving nobody in any doubt who was the champ.
This is the USADA era, Superman no longer exists. Anyone in the top 10 should be capable of doing what Strickland did, otherwise whats the point of having a ranking system ?
This is a GLOBAL sport, it isnt a local amateur tournament where this one local kid has the edge on all the others. Its talented fighters from all over the world who are well prepared & wanna play King of the Hill.
The sport needs to move on from the Cash Cow, fight fixing, protecting our investment model n let the sport breathe n develop. Pimp the title, not the champ.
Strickland didnt win by a lucky punch, he won because him & his team seen Vetorri do 8 comfortable rds with Adesanya without taking a backward step, they seen Whittacker make adjustments in their second fight & display that a well rounded MMAst could beat him & they seen a raw novice MMAst Periera walk him down for 4.5 rds & get him outa there.
Adesanya has been EXPOSED.
Time & Again.
