[TorontoTO]

The true #1 HW in the world is back and current ufc champ. Thank god that he isn’t in the ufc so Jones doesn’t have to duck him for years again

 

[blaseblase]

Cool. Hope he is done boxing.

 

[Luthien]

Fun tidbit

Jones fought more recently in MMA than Francis did

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Yeah probably no boxing fight left for him at the moment. He could have fought Wilder but not sure what happened there.

good to see him back in MMA

 

[generalyum]

Should be a fun fight. I hope Francis doesn't come out southpaw though...

I can understand the offensive advantage of switching stances but unless you're a consistent switch hitter, your southpaw defense is gonna be subpar

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Renan KO 1

 

[OldBoy91]

Hope Francis KOs Ferreira.

Still remember when Renan fake tapped against washed Werdum and then KOed him when he loosened the choke.

 

[Ludwig von Mises]

Going to be interesting to see Ng's psychological response to being to KOd by Joshua. There's a chance he will be tentative or turn into a deer in headlights. After Stipe beat him he was terrified of engaging with Derrick Lewis and lost that fight. Hope that doesn't happen to him now.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Good to hear the UFC champ is defending the actual UFC belt.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Francis KO rd 1

 

[don't ask]

I'm a fan, can't wait to see him fight again.

 

[Poirierfan]

I'm hoping Francis wins so he can be a current two organization champ.

 

[jjjjjjjjjjohnny]

we all know that francis ducked stipe in the trilogy fight.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Hope he gets KO’d stiff and early

 

[LEWIS540]

Glad he got paid and all, but is there actually any high profile fights coming his way in the next 2-3 years?

 

[laleggenda27]

Since his last mma fight, Francis will have aged 3 years, had major knee reconstruction, and been brutally KO'd. I wouldn't expect the same Francis we last saw in the cage.

Either way, I'm glad he's back in mma. He lived out his boxing dream and made life-changing money. Now it's back to reality...for the time being, at least.

 

[chrisdiaz]

and it will probably be on a card almost no one will watch during the day on saturday during football season. Stop sucking off the Saudi's.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Finalize that shit

 

[PeterGriffin]

we all know that francis ducked stipe in the trilogy fight.

Ducked Stipe??? Now that's just crazy talk.

He didn't have to. Stipe still hasn't woken up yet.
