I don’t think you can find many fighters with a more fitting nickname than a 6’7” giant Russian striker called Drago.

@@RIVALContentJammerz why you singling out drago? Everyone at heavyweight is guilty of that because the division isn’t stacked. Ngannou beat arlovski overeem and jds who were all 40+ years old and had been knocked out literally 20 times already and a 40 year old wwe version of Cain and a 39 year old stipe who’d been knocked out by DC and Stefan struve.
