If Ngannou leaves

[Canarinha]

With all the rumours going around Ngannous feud with Dana and possibly Francis leaving at the end of it?

Assuming he would go to Bellator, would this be a spark for other prolific superstars going the same way as Francis?

Losing Francis would be a huge loss and not like losing a average fighter as Ryan Bader who became the champ in Bellator.

We are talking about a champ in the UFC...the current one

 

[TheMessiah]

He will try and go into boxing not another MMA organisation

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Can’t help but feel like this feud is all manufactured hype. Dana once again taking a page out of his idol Vince McMahon’s playbook

 

[Rozpylacz]

can't wait to see dana seethe and the only thing he'd be able to say is "derrick lewis beat francis so he's better"

but i just dont think any other organizations will have fun matchups for him at HW, he'd probably switch to boxing though, i'd imagine.

 

[rocketrasslin18]

nah, hes not a drawl

I really hope it's manufactured. I love Ngannou. I'd hate to see him leave the UFC.

Ngannou would try to insert himself into the hw boxing contenders. I think he’s worth way more outside the ufc at this point.

 

[Sweater of AV]

1. I hope it happens
2. He'd go to boxing

easy he not going any where.

This. Part of the issue is he wants cross over boxing fights and UFC/Dana won't allow it after the results of Conor vs Floyd and the Jake Paul fights. Tyson Fury and him were going back and forth for a while and Fury was trying to set up a potential match up between them. He isn't switching to another mma promotion, the whole point is the contract issues. He always wanted to get into boxing, even before mma. He is just using mma to get into boxing.

 

[Substance Abuse]

He's not going anywhere.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

It would genuinely suck, he’s clearly an elite HW and I think he’s still got more brutal KO’s to offer MMA fans.

 

[Escabar]

He'll fight Pulev after he destroys poor JDS. More money in thriller and that weird hybrid stuff they're doing than mma. Maybe fight the winner of Briggs vs Rampage after.

I don’t think anyone would care. I know he’s special athlete but I think we’ll all get over it quickly. His personality is incredibly dry and HW has become an afterthought.

Yeah bellator won't be able to pay him more than UFC. He isn't a big crossover star like Conor that just automatically sells PPVs

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

He wants to go to boxing to fight Fury, but it would be a dreadful decision because he would get clowned badly, Ngannou loads up and loads up and loads up on every punch.. against any decent pro HW boxer he would be a complete and utter punching bag, it would look really bad. Then what?! . He needs to seriously think it through. He has a great place as UFC HW champ in a very poor division.. he can look good and keep winning.

Really depends if he leaves a winner or leaves a loser

 

[xsnail]

He will lose and leave. No big loss for the org or sport.

 

[Jose Beehive]

Either way Heavyweight sucks

 

[JKS]

Francis is not going to Bellator. He's not happy with what he's making so he's not gonna go to a smaller promotion wiht less money. He's gonna want to box.
