News Francis Ngannou's MMA Return Vs Renan Ferreira + Co-Main: Cris Cyborg vs Larissa Pacheco Announced

[Motivated BJ Penn]

He didn’t “almost beat Fury”. Fury showed up fat and unprepared and still had to carry Francis.

It was a split decision so he did in fact, almost beat Fury. In what state was Fury at or how much he trained is debatable.

Frank is going to sleep because of Ferreira

That would shock me less than a lot of people I think.

Renan is big as fuck and moves pretty slick and he is aggressive and violent.


Also, and maybe I will get flamed for this but I am not so sure Francis is the age he says he is. I feel like that trick is pretty well known for athletes coming from certain places where it is believable a paper trail could be lost.
Albert Puljos for example.

Francis getting old overnight/chin potentially not what it used to be (a few months after being knocked out COLD for a minute or 2), etc, would not shock me.

Francis coming out and starching this dude in Jahrzino KO fashion would not shock me either.

Big boys.

Whoever lands big first likely wins.

Oh, great! I thought for sure that he would be out from MMA for another boxing match, if not forever, so this is great news. Looking forward to seeing him back in MMA where he belongs.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

I put $100 on Ferreira the day Francis got blitzed by AJ as the bookies didn't move the lines yet.
+425 on Ferreria on Draftkings while Francis was at -575
DK is currently sitting at +400 Renan -535 Francis

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Ngannou/Fereira is actually kind of an interesting fight now that AJ softened up that jaw.

 

[WokeWarrior]

Are you cry babies finally happy . jesus christ

 

[BlackBradPaisley]

People are gonna sleep on Renan Ferreira

But dude is dangerous.

Sheeeesh!

This promo art is better than anything the UFC has ever released.

Donn Davis looks like a complete deer in headlights, the reality is that it's probably easier to get Ngannou to fight for the PFL than Cyborg considering how much she has been shitting on Davis. And Ngannou right now clearly wants to pretend the PFL doesn't exist.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Yeah this is the MMA fight to make for Ngannou, dangerous fight. I honestly think it could go either way. I give it 60/40 Ngannou.

 

[Haj01]

Good. He needs a win here before he can return to boxing imo

 

[NationWideNinja]

Hands up..

Which of you will pay real money to watch this? Guess what.. He can’t pretend to be the “Baddest Man on the Planet” anymore.

Which is exactly why the UFC would NEVER allow him to box, on their dime.

If you don’t understand that, you need help.

Ofc he can. In a real fight he throws Joshua on his head and stomps his face in

Yeah I've never seen anyone take so much damage in such little time

 

[Fatback96]

Hope they clear all the glass out of the cage this time

The “smart” cage lol

 

[Dana's Conscience]

Gets brutally knocked out, comes back in 6 months. Had he won he wouldn't come back until 9 months at the earliest. What?

It's because he'd probably be boxing again this year

If he won he would have done another boxing match before returning to an MMA fight

You nedd help. Your obsession with Francis is understandable but just admit you love him already. It's obvious at this point. Be proud of that instead of pretending you hate him.

It will never not be funny how many of you guys know absolutely nothing about AJ.

 

[RockyLockridge]

IMO, I don't think this is happening. I think the PFL Is probably trying to pressure francis into upholding his end of the bargin, which i severely doubt he will hold up. I think they kinda knew that too.

Cyborg says she hasn't been asked about this lol

I totally believe her.

Ngannou/Fereira is actually kind of an interesting fight now that AJ softened up that jaw.

For all we know his jaw was already soft. How many times has Ngannou been hit cleanly prior to that fight?
