*** Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou Aftermath Discussion MEGA THREAD ***

[Conor Strickland]

Legit example of 'f*** around and find out'

My point is that boxers do better in MMA than MMA fighters do in boxing.

Do they ?
all both of them?

 

[JustforBROCK]

Sorry but I don't think you're post makes sense. Damage over time is real and so is every big hit you take which means one hard hit and every hard hit does matter. Especially the most recent, and at his age.

I take that back. You dont know how to read.

 

[HHJ]

He looked like he was physically in pain from that

 

[HHJ]

So? It's not like he was fighting prime Mike Tyson. He was fighting a retired boxer who was well removed from his prime days lol. And even after the Mercer fight, Sylvia still went on a run with a positive record. That speaks volumes about how bad MMA fighters are.

No it doesnt

Kimbo Slice beat him easy

its not like he was fighting Prime Fedor in there,but got subbed in a minute.

You do realise this is an MMA forum right?

 

[CatchtheseHands]

I'm not solely blaming the state of things on the quality of the athletes. It's also that the top brass in the UFC discourages grappling and encourages a very base-level brawling style that would get you f-cked up by anybody with quality striking skills. We need to go back to the days of lay-and-prayers.

They don't discourage grappling if you're finishing guys on the ground. The whole reason they encourage striking more is cause of the lay and pray guys years ago

Ngannou is 0-2 and boxing, it’s safe to say he didn’t fumble the bag but the bag fumbled him

Sometimes the fumble bags you.

 

[JustforBROCK]

Nicksick confirmed it was indeed only a 3 fight deal and that the holdup was a loss dropped the pay for $8M/per fight.

Which... yes...? Why would Ngannou make championship pay if he's no longer champion?

As to your second point, yes, Francis himself said he missed $7M by not fighting the UFC's contracts for fights he fought anyways, and that's not even counting had he simple won the Stipe fight and gotten the built in contender-to-champion purse there in and then.

Francis' purse problems have always been that he wanted to leave the UFC so wouldn't sign their contracts.

The UFC proved tonight they were right about that.

LOL absolutely nothing that happened tonight means anything in regards to Frank VS the UFC. He still won. By a mile. Deal with it. The UFC have insanely restrictive and controlling contracts. This isnt debatable. they took away the fighters ability to make sponorship money and basically control your entire professional life if you sign the contract. this isnt debatable. he won. By a country mile. Asleep on the cavas and winning.

 

[HHJ]

Yep. Street brawler Kimbo Slice (no disrespect to him) is more skilled than most UFC fighters.

Is that so? Is that why he got destroyed in the UFC?

So which sport looks sillier?

MMA because a star lost to another star at a totally different sport?

Or boxing because they keep putting amateur boxers against pro boxers because otherwise no one gives a shit?

lmao if people didn't think you were retarded before they do now. Go back to the boxing forum.

Both sports need each other.

MMA fighters need the money and lack of restrictions that big boxing fights can offer,and Boxers need willing fighters that are outside the bubble of the usual politicking bullshit that is normal boxing to stir shit up.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

I enjoy watching the sport of MMA but at this point the pattern of MMA fighters getting destroyed by other combat sport athletes is unmistakable.

Is it?

Seems to me like boxers have the worst track record when venturing into other combat sports tbh. Ray Mercer hail Mary KO aside, and dont forget Ray lost his other MMA fight and also went 0-2 in kickboxing.

 

[Jesus X]

Ngannou made 30 mil in 2 boxing matches he is a winner in my book.

 

[BowserJr]

What boxing fight makes the most sense for frank now?

Andy Ruiz or someone lower?

 

[HHJ]

Frank Mir got f-cked up by Kubrat Pulev. Ngannou just got knocked out cold. Tyron Woodley got put out cold. Ben Askren, Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz also lost to a Youtube influencer. There are too many examples, if anything.

Also, once again, Ray Mercer. Enough said.

ok so more boxers in MMA go ahead. Mercer ( who was subbed in a minute by Kimbo ) and who else?

 

[HHJ]

Still had a winning MMA record despite no formal martial arts training.

Still got submitted by Kimbo Slice.

SUBMITTED

BY KIMBO SLICE

He was literally 7-0 in boxing <45>
