Media Dana shuts down Francis ever returning

[Izzysexboyfriend]

no matter what the goof doesn’t want him back even if he begged on his knees

 

[DaleBoca]

Confirmed. He’s returning!

[PhilMcCavity]

Dana is a warrior

[Luthien]

He came from a sand factory?

So if you ever turn down their offer and choose to test free agency then you are banned forever. And they claim they are not/ trying to put a stranglehold on the sport by being a monopoly?

If GOAT Jones wins in July.
He will say otherwise.

Dana is petty af and took it personal

Fair play to Dana for shutting the stupid, polarising question about Dana and the fans of the sport not seeing eye to eye.

They were so clearly trying to kiss Dana's ass, that even Dana was like "these fans are great", WTF.

Francis certainly did his part in making the whole contract situation a spectacle.

I have respected Francis a lot for what he did… but the idea is to get the max contract possible… not just never fight because you’re too prideful

 

[CerebralKnievel]

I remember when Pink Goof blurted out that Nate Marquardt would never fight in the UFC again after his failed test lead to a main event cancelation.

When the UFC gives you the best offer, by a wide margin, and you still don't accept, then you're just playing fucking games.

The UFC offered Ngannou what he was worth.

Francis has probably signed the contract as we speak inverse whatever Dana says

 

[Steve Fox]

I think this is the case here and goes way beyond the classic Dana lies Meme.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

He would come back if it's fiscally advantageous to the UFC

 

[surgeyou1]

Remember when Dana said Jones should drop to 185 than fight Francis


Good times

Remember his manager who posted that weird IG post/open letter to Dana and signed it something like “your former employee”

Dude clearly had a completely personal beef with Dana… even accused Dana of sending him an anonymous racist text with 0 evidence

I have mostly defended Francis because fighting out your contract and getting the win is legendary shit… but there have definitely been signs Francis and his team are super difficult

 

[Neck&Neck]

Jones vs Ngganou in Nigeria is a done deal!
