Francis barely got past Gane
Yeah but he did, Jon would get Francis aswell
Francis barely got past Gane
Which other MMA fighter has fought a big name boxer?
Randy Couture
Even Chatri, or whatever the ONE owner's name is, said everything was cool and that Francis was respectful and they got along fine and like each other BUT......
So his "pissing him off" is really only rejecting his offer. They could easily sit back down and discuss again. Yes, the numbers would change based on Francis' perceived options, but they could talk again.
In other words, other than the UFC, which takes failed negotiations SUPER emotionally (or, at least Dana does), he hasn't really pissed anyone off by his actions as much as by his perceived self-worth.
He'll be fine.
Lol- all that wasn't necessary ( aS FaR aS mY poST GoEs). Your first sentence would suffice.The UFC would never sign a 2 fight deal, especially for him. He would also be subject to tolling (which he explained how they routinely abused with him, including sending him a bout agreement with a date they knew his visa would not be renewed by) and a 5 year contract.
Aside from paying out a absolutely atrocious 18% of revenue to fighters (which includes every single penny of bonuses, PPV share, purses, insurance, travel, even the performance institute) the UFC has predatory contracts where they have ALL the power.
Francis fought out his contract and the "hE sIgNeD tHe CoNtRaCt" crowd are still complaining. Get a grip.
I'll watch Franics fight in any org because he's one of a handful heavyweight fighters on planet earth that is of interest to me. I could care less what the logo on the cage floor says and an announcer telling me to eat corn nuts. I watch and pay for the fighters, not the promotion.
How do you know he fucked up? Are you a time traveller? You've seen the future and know that he went to street beefs and failed to sign a fight with a top boxer? You're acting like all has been said and done and we're looking back at the past instead of an ongoing thing. What happens if he signs a $20 million deal with PFL and then books a fight with deontay wilder next year?
Francis is reading Sherdog posts and crying, realizing his life is over. lolWhen it happens, you can say I told you so. Until then STFU cause you are not a time traveler either.
As it stands, he fucked up. He had a contract paying millions. He had a championship belt in the top MMA org. He now has nothing but his laurel's to rest on. Until that changes, he fucked up.
No, it didn't.It took years for the Mayweather/McGregor fight to come together and it was co-promoted by the UFC
I say check out Ariel's segment where he discusses. As usual, he's into facts and receipts more than Sherdog is.Ok, that's good to hear. The only thing I really heard about One is that they could agree on pay but his additional conditions were so ridiculous that One walked away from the table.

Wtf are you talking about? Ngannou fought all these fights anyways. He might as well have fought them for more money while doing so.
Like I said, people only seem to side with Ngannou when they have no idea what happened and just assume UFC bad. So weird how every other promotion afterwards have equally come out and said no, Ngannou bad.
He's being utterly unreasonable.
I'm not a time traveller which is why I'm not talking about this situation with such deluded certainty like you are. I've made no bold declarations about his career. That's you. That's what you're doing. Talking about the situation like you're a time traveller and you know the end result. Which you don't. But let's call it what it really is - wishful thinking. You have Dana whites cock shoved so far down your sweaty gullet, that he's operating you like a puppet with his flesh rod. Bald goof told you he's an enemy so like a good little attack dog you start barking at his command.When it happens, you can say I told you so.

Are you a close associate? A clairvoyant?Doubt it, but he did fuck up. So there is that.
I've not even expressed any hate towards Dana in my posts. Your last two responses have both been "no, you are!"LOL, a whitebelt is telling me what's up. That is rich.
Your hate for Dana and the UFC is probably not healthy. You may need to take a break from Sherdog, even though you just started in March of 2023.
