If only Haku would have entered an early ufc as was planned this would have been settled decades ago.

Lol, as if they could ever afford him. That headline could replace Francis with any other big name, such as Conor and still be correct as the money any of them would ask for would be "unrealistic" for a small-time carny organisation. He knows what he's worth and that's a good thing. For years...

They'd promote him as an undefeated ufc heavyweight champion who wanted to test him against the best boxers and the casuals would lap it up. It's doubtful 1% of the ppv buying casuals would even be aware of how or why Francus left the ufc. Just like the idiots now buying Dana's narrative about...

It wasn't a train heist, they robbed a security depot. Other that that, you're right that it's one hell of a story.

Oh the irony.

Vindicated? The rules changing at a later date have no impact on his multiple failed tests. And there's a lot of asterisks next to all his wins. With all that said, last night was damn impressive.

We can have a debate about how silly the rule is, but it was an illegal strike and Hamil clearly couldn't carry on so it was a legit dq. Yet again Dana tries to protect Jones, so come on Gane.

Conor and Roysey are too blame for these idiots who think the ufc started with them. The ufc's peak was years ago.

He talks such a big game, until the fight starts and then tries to do the bare minimum to scrape a decision. No idea why he has any fans.

Mate, is everything OK at home?

Missing weight has really hurt him, plus he makes call outs all the time to beatable opponents whilst ignoring any that come his way from anyone he deems a threat. The sad part is he's a killer, just needs to shut up, make weight and carry on destroying his division.

It was a close fight and within the perimeters of the ufc's scoring system the right guy got the correct decision. If it wasn't for the one judge giving it by four rounds there'd be no cries if robbery. Maybe a year or so if both guys are still champs and have cleared out all obvious contenders...

So Jon looked below his best against lhws he'd once of crushed but people believe he's going to magically turn back time and become a killer again despite all the time away from fighting plus going up in weight where he loses the significant size advantages he held at lhw. Lol

The people that pay for ppvs is at a certain level these days unless there is dome "mega-fight" that attracts casual fan interest, ie Conor. Sadly a rematch of a great fight between two relative unknown champs outside of the usual paying audience isn't going to see a radical increase in buys.

Was a fan since ufc 4. And in the uk back then there was no way to watch it outside of bootleg vhs tapes. Fortunately I had a contact for prowrestling tapes and he could get hold of mma as well. I'd send him a cheque to preorder upcoming shows and often get events without a clue who'd be...

Francis must know all this, but also smart enough to realise that just sharing a boxing ring with Fury is going to be his biggest payday and by a considerable margin. Go get paid.

One big boxing fight, particularly if he gets Fury and it's worthwhile. Can't see Bellator, PFL or any bareknuckle organisation having the sort of money to entice him. Although Francis as a main eventer might entice Bellator to have another go at cracking the ppv market.

Dana can't match what Fury will offer, especially for just one fight. Certainly not without altering the ufc pay scale forever. Plus due to his short contract and "injury" they can't stop Francis walking away even whilst champion to enter the boxing ring. In spite Dana wouldn't entertain the...

When he actually fights a decent opponent I'll listen to him.

Was protected in cage warriors and so far in the ufc too, but talks like he's already a megastar so I'd say the hate is understandable.
