Depends on the circumstances. But he makes it seem like he's willing to possibly let the reason be known. Don't wanna piss Francis off though
Need more Bar Assaults
He's in his prime.. He didn't take very much damage, dominated the whole fight, finished rather quickly again without taking damage.. Champions these days work their career toward winning the belt first thing you hear is I want to take some time off.. these dudes love holding down the belt.. they want a long title reign before dealing with the stress of another title fight, which makes sense.. but Ngannou isn't a young buck either.. His prime won't carry on past 3-5 more years if he is lucky. Plus I believe at the negotiation table his management tried to play hardball. scoffed at the lewis fight, wanted Jon Jones.. asked for more money, and more times.. basically gave some bull shit, when Dana showed up all smiles like hey buddy when is the next fight I have August or around the corner.. Around the corner Ngannou says.. what about Jon Jones? Jon!! are you serious.. and more money... those smiles turned to angry face real quick on dana.. and he wasn't having none of this managers bull shit.
Dude.. they offer you a fight a month before the date you want you take the freaking date... September doesn't work for them.. it ain't about what you want, it's about what's in the UFC schedule.. they probably said look... Jan vs Glover is headlining September's PPV... we don't want you on that card.. I don't care about your damn parade and fucking off that you're trying to do. The dude came out the last fight with barely a scratch.. no medical injury.. no block of physical contact by the commission. It ain't even about September man.. don't you get it?? Obviously they did some shit to piss Dana Off.. where he said you know what.. nah.. fight August.. or hey you wanna wait.. cool wait for Gane vs Lewis and then we'll do December. I don't have time for this shit.
As suspected, I knew it was his management effing with Francis. The guy was homeless on the street like 8 years ago. I doubt he would become a diva is such a quick amount of time unless he had someone manipulating him.
The problem if you have already promised Lewis a TS in his hometown, it's hard to backtrack and only give him a #1 contender fight(which means shit anyway, because Stipe and Jones can still jump the queue).
You hear "they already signed a contract and now Francis is backing out!" A lot on here. This may be the case at their job at Burger King, but in real business when a massive change in your value occurs, you renegotiate your contract.
Slave? nah.. but wouldn't let my management screw over the first title defense because they wanted to milk out the championship reign.. your words of wisdom would totally work wouldn't it.. guess that's why they are making an interim belt... You don't have to be a damn slave but dont be retarded and let the belt basically get stripped away..
