The reporter asked him for a prediction for the fight, and Cooper was very forthcoming. “You know how I see the fight going. I see him beating everybody,” he said.

Cooper mentioned how the journalists of the world doubted Ngannou’s skills, like his patience and wrestling. However, he couldn’t display those skills because he didn’t face a good fighter. Ngannou’s last four fights coming into the Miocic fight didn’t last more than one round, combined.
The Cameroonian knocked them all out in the first round. Junior Dos Santos was the only one who lasted over a minute against ‘The Predator’. When the reporter asked him about a prediction for the fight, Cooper’s answer was obvious.

Ngannou’s coach has helped him become the world-class athlete he is, and he’ll only get better from here as the defending champion.
