Media Daniel Cormier defends the UFC regarding Francis Ngannou

DC carrying the water- and why not? They fly him all over the world to commentate fights

The UFC hasn't said anything about Francis in like 10 months. They don't give a shit, that's the entire point of moving on with new champions.

The only bitter people living in the past about the split are the Francis side apparently.

They aren't paying you enough for this complete nonsense. Dana was literally shitting on the matchup pre-fight and saying that crossover fights are stupid and a waste of time (which is ridiculous considering he has put on the same type of fights).

Almost every post of yours is a blatant lie or false claim on behalf of Dana. You can't be that consistently wrong. Even Dana doesn't lie that much.
 
Like.Eric has stated on Ariels show, a lot of people that work for the UFC has congratulated Francis, it's just mainly Dana that's being the bitch here.

No news is bad news, even if it makes you look bad.

It's massive media exposure & puts your brand on teh tip of everyone'z tongue.

This is only for people hopping on bandwagons and being smug about it. If you’re referring to the UFC hypothetically supposed to be crying, jumping out of windows, and bowing to Francis … Making a profit while advertising your company is much much better than advertising your company but risking or decreasing your typical profit. It’s easy in hindsight to praise Francis but it was a shockingly great performance plus we don’t know about the PPV numbers. … It’s like the mogul in “Casino” who didn’t appreciate a cap on how much he could bet (and win) at Blackjack. To him it wasn’t winning his bets, it was losing the money he wasn’t allowed to bet. The UFC has a formula that works, why break it for an unknown, which is what Francis as a Boxer was at the time.

Of course the UFC is upset

Otherwise, how about a congratulatory post from UFC to their former HW Champion then?

Maybe let Dana tweet a "Thank You" to Ngannou for "uplifting the sport"?

I'll wait

"Congratulations on your loss"

Really? Cause I'd like to introduce yourself to yourself only a few posts back:

Yep. They haven't said anything and the most I expect from Dana is that someone will ask him about it at a press conference and he will say "good for Francis" and immediately move on.

What exactly changed between post #40 and #43 of yours in this very thread? Seems like you in fact agree that the UFC hasn't said anything in awhile and aren't the side bringing it up.
 
I don't care who pays his bills DC just lost a shit ton of respect for this weak shit.

Does DC think fans are stupid? The UFC publicly disparaged Francis. They said he’s not worth the money he asked for, they said he wouldn’t amount to anything without the UFC. Dana openly taunted Francis and basically told him his career is over. The UFC also pushed the narrative that Francis left to avoid Jon Jones.

DC said similar things in a less harsh way. DC said Ngannou needed to “bite the bullet” and return to the UFC. Said there’s not much opportunity for Francis without them. Now all of sudden people want to act like they’re proud of Ngannou and it’s a huge achievement for the sport. Even though they criticized and doubted Francis the entire time… It’s shameful.

Cormier could, intentionally, be talking out of both sides of his mouth, but sincere people often can feel different ways from day to day about the same thing based on a variety of factors. I flip flop all of the time on things especially if I hear someone present a contrary view in an articulate and informed way.
 
DC isn’t entirely wrong. The UFC obviously isn’t happy that it can’t directly cash in on Francis, but his performance did elevate the perception of the sport as a whole.

Nope. It did nothing for UFC viewership other than Frank’s old fights probably being stalked. Why would it lol?
 
You guys didn't see it coming? They were always going to spin it into a win for MMA. Not cry about it.
