“He’s training, he looks happy to be back in the gym with the team,”Nicksick said. “He’s been asking for that Wilder fight—and if that happens, great—but right now the heavyweight division is kind of in shambles. There’s no real direction, and that creates an opportunity.”


“I think this is more about business than it is about ego. At least it is from Francis’s side,” Nicksick explained. “He just wants to be treated like an independent contractor—paid fairly and given the freedom to pursue other opportunities. And he did that. He went out, boxed, made a lot of money, and proved himself.”

I don't think Francis is that big of draw and only way they bring him back is to put over someone.

 

[TheBulge]

He's cooled off for maybe too long since that good win in PFl. The sport moves fast.

 

[El Fernas]

No shit he is, he never wanted to leave, he wanted the boxing paydays, he already got a decent one in PFL, he KNOWS they will struggle to deliver the 2nd one, which i read is contracted for 12 million...hard to believe its actually going to happen.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Hematch Derick Lewis!

THERE IS A ZERO PERCENT CHANCE THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN.

If people don’t understand why. I can’t help them.

I give it a higher chance of him going to prison for the death of that girl than Frank coming back to the UFC

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Oof gotta pay that family off huh Frank?

Also it’s hilarious to see him back the UFC after that fuckin tantrum he threw.

 

[J'Ghasta]

Hed have to get on his knees and kiss Danas ring for that to happen. So I dont think it will. Jones would just duck anyway.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Franci$ in need of vehicular homicide settlement money, eh?

 

[humdizzle]

makes no sense

why would he come back to the UFC after fighting Fury and Joshua? He's made multiple millions. I think they cleared him of the homocide saying it was a doctor's error giving too much anesthesia.

Maybe he's upset that nobody recognizes him in public anymore?

Sadly this.

 

[Conor Strickland]

Derrick Lewis vs Francis Ngannou 2. The rematch that needs to happen

 

[Heisenboom]

Have we forgotten the bike incident?

 

[Slaikkaaja]

Aspinal vs Big Frank? I would watch, wouldn't pay though..

 

[Steve Fox]

Francis x Tom for the vacant HW title.

WTF are you on about? What tantrum? Francis made $30 M to box. The UFC let Conor box but would not give Francis the same opportunity. Francis made the very wise choice to fight out his contract and become a free agent. Add in the fact he made $10 M for his PFL debut including his signing bonus.

Guess he should have stayed to fight Jon for $8M and then go back to $30/$30 if he loses his belt? So weird when Sherdoggers get stupid when a fighter takes an obvious life changing amount of money rather than stay with U Fight Cheap.

Sheesh did he burn through all the Fury/Joshua money already?

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Dana is a fucking idiot if he doesn't bring Francis back. Especially if he's willing to take a pay cut to come back. Francis would breath back life into a dead division plus there's plenty of good match ups for him still. Volkov, Pav, Tom, Jon, Black Beast rematch.

 

[treelo]

im not sure some of you have jobs or work anywhere with any meaning

why on earth would an employer bring back someone who was an absolute PITA to deal with, regardless of the finances, the hassle having to deal with a really shit employee is insane, and this was played out publicly the first time

he got what he wanted, 2 nice paydays
