He said he doesn't remember anything after the round breakHe didn't fall? Did he forget the fight already?

short-sighted. PFL gave him a sweetheart deal and he's screwing them. You think they're going to treat fighters like this moving forward?Ngannou will do whatever the fuck he wants to, lol.
It's funny watching posters get butthurt because he's free and not under the UFC's thumb. Guaranteed if Conor or Jones announced a boxing crossover, everyone would be shilling how good it is for the sport and how accomplished they are as fighters.
Good on Frank for finally getting paid. How he earns it is his business.
Bader already got murdered by that giant Ferreira in PFL, would like to see that match between Fereira and NgannouIf he can't swing a headline against Wilder to cash out his career in full, then he could probably fight Zhang under a main event sometime. Either way though, I think I'd prefer him to take at least one MMA fight in the meantime. It's a risk, but being a current MMA HW champ should give him more negotiating power. I'd think murdering Bader shouldn't be too hard for him (they are merging, right? Why have that combo card if they're not?)
did they actually gave something for now tough? legit asking i don't knowPFL be like... after giving into everything Francis wanted

Frank was always a Diva
Who’s going to want to fight him now ?
The boxing world has already moved on
I know what he means by boxing owing him something. Boxing destroyed his aura where was always known for knockout power to the point he never considered he could KTFO and Anthony Joshua and boxing destroyed that aura.
He still has not been humbled after being nearly killed by Anthony Joshua. He always faked humbleness. Before the AJ fight, he was claiming he was the no. 1 boxer in the world. AJ beat the brakes off of him sending him to the shadow realm and this guy is still too dumb to even realize what hit him
You know you can dismiss Jones' accomplishments without burying Ciryl as "some guy picking out of a hat". The guy is a legit HW and if he really was a bum, he would have had far more than 2L's.Yeah I agree he is LHW GOAT (assuming you put cheating aside). He moved up and beat some guy picked out of a hat. His HW title is of no legitimate lineage. His one and only HW win was NOT against a champion and not even a former champion. GSP moved up and he had only 1 MW win but it was against the reigning champion. Jon could have faced the last champion in Stipe Miocic but instead he and the UFC chose Cyril who is a perfect style match up for Jon.
Beating a single guy doesn't make you the champion. That is why when a title is vacated there should be a tournament, AN OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT otherwise the lineage is dubious. Charles wasn't truly the LW champion when he beat Chandler. It wasn't until he beat Dustin and Justin that his lineage was validated.
Jon isn't the HW champion that would be still vacant. Jon and Stipe are apparently fighting for the 2nd bracket of the HW touney. Tom beat Pav to win his spot in the finals. Jon may win his bracket and then retire and if Tom "Defends" his spot he AUTOMATICALLY becomes the DEFENDING CHAMPION and Jon's belt becomes the "Legacy" belt.
came to say this ^^“I feel like boxing owes me something now.WhaT! i bet the plan was to never Do MMA again everybody remember his knee Surgery...mma Naa,,, i take a 3rd 0 please... but i want more money what joke“Boxing owes him something”.
Oh you mean the guy with no honour, or sense of loyalty is once again going back on the promise he made to the PFL?
Why am I not surprised? And the rubes keep getting conned by the guy.
Boxing owes him.. Holy fuck.

Not gonna lie, it is actually insane that Jon alone has won more title fights (against some legends of the sport) than Francis has fights in the UFC.I had no idea there was anybody who thought Francis Ngannou was a more decorated MMA fighter than Jon Jones. Jon's won more title fights than Francis even has fights in the UFC. Francis lost to Derrick Lewis, is 1-1 with Stipe, and nearly lost to Gane, who Jones only took 2 minutes to beat. Conor was at least 2-0 in title fights in 2 divisions at the time, and even that they had to handicap with an older smaller guy. Francis got flatlined in 4 minutes by a guy 20 lbs smaller than him.
The premise is wrong anyway because nobody wants to see Jones box either, nor would anybody say it's interesting if Conor tried to box Dmitry Bivol.
Thaaaank you!
Some of us saw through his bullshit from the beginning. Francis nut swingers are awfully quiet now aren’t they.
He’s never been a draw and he def lost all his negotiating leverage at this point.
I mean what organization would sit down in good faith with this con man?
Dana sitting back laughing right now because he knows he dodged a bullet and now he's someone else's problem.

Nobody is worth that money. Even if you are Conor, it is stretching it.So hes made 10 mil for the Fury fight and 20 mil for the AJ fight. And if he ever fights in the PFL they have to pay his opponent 2m and him probably multiple times that.
Is that the kind of money the UFC was supposed to be paying him? is he worth that? so if they pay him that what should they pay his opponents? what about the guys in the co-main? what about the rest of the card? we expect stacked cards in MMA right? does the UFC spending tens of millions in fight purses every month to make halfway decent PPV cards seem like a sustainable model?
Dana didn't really fumble the bag.
Frank was never going to do boxing under the UFC. There wasn't going to be a big enough cut in it for them.
So instead Frank went off, signed on for a set amount with PFL, then proceeded to go and look good against Fury and then get his star power hurt by AJ.
And now PFL are left having paid for someone who is worth less than what they bought him for, and who now might not even come back to MMA for them lol.
Frank would be laughing at all the cash he's made, and the UFC would be laughing at how this turned out for PFL, their only competitor.
