Did Ngannou just intentionally missed the $ chance ?

[tonil]

By skipping the Lewis fight,
did he infact just said tnx but no tnx, I will just wait for Jones and dont want to earn few additional 100k dollars?
Or it doesnt matter if he fights or not because of the UFC contract he has?

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

jones is suspended or just plain scared, guy isnt fighting at HW.

Lewis had him too scared to throw last time. Lewis matched up fine with Francis. That fight would have just came down to a repeat or KO for either fighter.

The Lewis that showed up against Gane would have lost to Francis too.

Yes, because that's how it works. Come on. You're better than this. Styles make fights.

He looked defeated before he even went out there,boys.

He looked defeated when he realized he had nothing for the Frenchman.

 

[Axe720]

I think he just wanted a break.

If he didnt have any for him,he wouldnt have any for Ngannou. Something was up with him before he got in there. I think honestly the pressure to perform in his hometown rattled him. Not that he would have won anyway,but still..

Ngubu still has PTSD from the first Lewis fight, give him a break.

Where they each threw like 7 punches the whole fight? That was the lamest HW fight in history.

 

[TRUS8888]

Yeah i've been confused by Ngannou's actions during all of this.. it legit looks like he is AFRAID of Lewis.

never wanted to fight him and never talked about it, instead was portrayed as just chasing the impossible jones fight.

yet when Gane wins Ngannou IMMEDIATELY tweets see you soon boy and acting like hes ready to fight him.

 

[Substance Abuse]

He is the money fight at heavyweight.

 

[tech99]

He missed any chance of ever having one title defence that’s forsure.

 

[Dave Poodle]

He agreed to fight Lewis in September so that theory's out the window

I have no idea where this narrative that Francis got destroyed by Beast came from and it’s a narrative I only see on Sherdog…..neither one of them did anything it was basically a staring contest yet Francis haters can’t stop talking about how “dominated” Francis got lol

Stop believing everything Dana says lol

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Ngannou ducked Lewis. And it’s funny because Lewis looked horrible. Ngannou spent how much time talking about no action at the top of the division. So the first thing he does is sit out healthy, and miss an easy payday. lol

There’s your active champ.

 

[witt1021]

just throwing this out there. maybe just maybe. ngannou is just spending some of his money on cocaine and hookers. maybe. highly likely but prob not. yeah, we will say he is, and good for him. having a great time being champ.

Honestly I thought he would want to run that fight back so badly.

Seriously, how are people still not getting this?
Francis said yes to fighting in September. Then he spoke up about fighter's pay.
Dana had a hissy fit and set Gane & Lewis for an interim belt to show him he is the boss.
Then he trashed his champion by lying he wanted to sit out just to drive his point across.

It obviously worked, since people like you think he did not want to fight, which he already said that was NOT the case.

The real question here is why in the fucking hell would you believe in Dana (a known liar) over Francis (who has absolutely no reason to lie about it!)?
