Obviously not. There was no ducking on either side here. Just bad timing.

What makes you think that Francis isn't that good of a wrestler or grappler? The fact that he effortlessly stuffed Stipes takedown in the rematch and then took Stipe down? Is it because Frnacis trains at team couture? Or that Ngannou wrestle fucked Gane to a victory? What is it that you see that I dont?

He is not scared. He wants to get paid what he believes to be his worth.

No, he is not scared. Ngannou/Jones not happening has nothing to do with either guy being afraid.

Francis is a decent grappler, but Jones is on a much higher level
Francis got Gane down many times and was unable to finish him on the ground
Plus Jones has submittes BJJ blackbelts, outwrestled DC etc
With Jones being HW i dont think the strength gap is big enough to overcome the grappling skill difference
Just my opinion i could be wrong i admit i study Jones fights way more than Francis so who knows
he actually took him down and fucked up his shoulder
cain pushed him off though which was a great defensive move which gane can only dream of
Ngannou pretty much baited and harassed Jones to fight when Jones announced going hw thinking he'd fight stipe. Dana even said they offered the contract to Jones but he priced himself out. Now ngannou is out of the picture, of course Jones is froggy again. I'm not saying ngannou would have won, but he certainly wasn't scared to fight Jones. He was the aggressor.

he took him down for a split second? so after he took him down did he repeatedly do as he wills because hes a 280lb big gorilla?
cain is a much shorter guy and more agile that allowed him to escape
fat jones isnt surviving this

Seems like that's what Jones is trying to say. What's your thoughts? You honestly believe Ngannou is scared?
Imma go with a no because he is a professional fighter ,...
He wanted to be compensated for the opportunity laid in front of him..
Fighting a Jon Jones happens once a career for some...so it should be a once in a career level pay cheque...
The UFC honestly could of paid these guys whatever and still made a huge amount of money...which leads me to believe they have a part to play in all this too ...
Its not jones or Ngannou...its jones ngannou and the UFC

I don't think he's scared, but a loss is possible and that would destroy all boxing negotiations.
Francis got the belt and bolted so he could get a big boxing payday.

Scared is a very big word to toss around when talking of professional fighters..
