Lol, I could see both Paul brothers flying all over the ring.

Love fight circus, that owner/announcer/promotor/brawler is a trip. The perfect music btw, hilarious.

Funny how Francis gets so much hate here for leaving when really it’s the UFC who failed. They had a Tyson like HW champion who they could have put tons of hype behind but chose instead to focus on middle talent type guys who are willing to talk mediocre trash to in order to attract casuals.

 

[Objectively Correct]

dude really thought he was lebron or something lmao

Podcast with Steve-O

NBA Draft Lottery is that day.

I'm thinking Big Franc is going to declare for the NBA Draft.

Mma Athletes win the nba championship with 3 months training.

 

[Viper2]

Not expecting too much. Could be anything really.

Also, in before a bunch of UFC cans claim they don’t care about Big Frank while contributing to another 50 page thread.

The haters are just Jones fan who know that Ngannou would have starched Jones.

 

[Fossor]

He's getting fed to Platinum Mike Perry in BKFC.

One day, Ngannou vs Werduuuum

 

[DestinedAussie]

I'll watch and a bunch of others will too imo.

i think he can do a couple of 100K buys v a bum in PFL. There is certainly some interest, but like 500K buys or anything.

 

[Pechan]

Sadly, this announcement will get more views and press than his next fight.

Verdoooom by 1st rnd sub.

 

[goOb]

Not really interested where he is going. There isn’t a better HW division than the horrid one the UFC has.

 

[orca]

so an org that will give the fighters benefits he wanted and 50 million dollars?

He said himself that it isn't all about money. It's freedom and health insurance. He wants to able to box and do other things behinds MMA + have health insurance. Outside of health insurance, it's the same thing Fedor was doing. Short contracts and the freedom to do other things.

 

[Lawrence]

Counting the minutes

 

[tramendous]

PFL for nowhere near what the UFC offered and he's allowed to box, which won't matter because no one who is able to get him the huge payday he wants is going to ever fight him anyway.

You gotta take ufc offers with a grain of salt because if you lose, they can cut you or i think even lower your pay and thereby not have to pay you what you signed for.

 

[HaulParris]

This better not be a Costa "secret j:zz" type of shenanigans

 

[Tweak896]

PFL will rewrite all their fighter contracts giving everyone complete freedom just to sign Ngannou so they could pay him 10M a fight. Total health insurance for everyone. Wow Ngannou is going to create the best mma org in the world through negotiation! Middle finger to UFC! Jokes on them!
