Media Francis Ngannou vs Junior Dos Santos - Who Are You Rooting For?

[Deleted member 545701]

This weekend we get to see a fight that was originally set for UFC 239. Francis "Big Frank" Ngannou vs Junior Dos Santos.

Back in May of 2017, JDS got his title shot against Stipe and got folded with a 1-2.

It looked like it was over for him.

Google shows JDS's age but has a picture of Cain Velasquez. It's a metaphor I believe. JDS may still be a young man, but he isn't young in fighting years and it's all thanks to the man in that picture.

Somehow, someway, JDS has mounted a historic come back. A resurgence of the man that was once the HW champion.
He put on a 5 round demolition job of Blagoy. 5-0'd him. Blag was 18-1 going into it

Then he TKO'd rising undefeated heavyweight Tai Tuivasa

Then he finished it off with Derrick Lewis who was coming off of a title shot against DC

One more win and he'll be back in a title fight

Across the cage though, is Big Frank.

Despite recently getting dwarfed by Shaq

Big Frank has made a ferocious come back.

Taking out Curtis Blaydes who was looking to get easy revenge against Frank.

Then Cain Velasquez, the man who was considered to be the best UFC HW of all time

Considering DC will probably win against Stipe & then retire, who would you rather have as your heavyweight champion? Francis "Big Frank" Ngannou or JDS?

Why would anyone root against JDS ever?

Exactly.

JDS is one of the nicest guys in the sport, but I gotta stick with my boy Francis.

 

[Ch31ck]

Ngannou. They're both nice guys, but hope he becomes champ.

 

[ArlovskiFang]

Love Jds.

But Francis is cool too.

I like both guys, but I've got to go with big Frank tbh. I'd feel bad for Ngannou if he got his title shot eliminator fight and he gets KO'd by JDS.

Big Frank is the future of the HW division

 

[Gilday]

JDS is my favourite fighter of all time and the guy who got me into MMA

Hoping he gets the win, but I'm not confident

 

[Gambit MMA]

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Big Cig. Good post ts have an @Tomas for the hard work of including gifs n shiz

 

[Frank McEdgar]

Big Frank is the future

Thanks pal I appreciate that

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

JDS all day.

This, one of my all time favourites I reckon, savage inside the cage and a gentleman outside.

 

[The Witcher]

JDS obviously. Best heavyweight resume of wins probably ever

Depends what version of nganou shows up

I can see jds taking a ud from sun shy nganou

 

[g*r*b]

Whether or not DC wins I'm rooting for JDS. Because if Stipe wins I don't need to see that rematch just yet, and if DC wins I don't think that a Ngannou challenge is the kind of retirement sendoff he wants. And you know if he retired before that got set up he'd be accused of ducking for the rest of his days.

 

[Soul On Ice]

MMA is more exciting if Nguyo stays on his killing spree

 

[mmacasualviewer]

Ngannou would have have got KO'd by Stipe if it were necessary for Stipe.

Stipe & JDS would beat Ngannou at Oly Lifting or crossfit all day.

 

[Daniel_LaRusso]

 

[Ladder Master]

I would like JDS to win.

 

[sherdogwantedtonamemekiki]

I'm hoping JDS submits him.

 

[Doughie99]

Definitely rooting for a JDS victory.
