Media Joe Rogan on Francis Ngannou: I don't like having the best in the world not being champion

[Bend NvR Break]

Ariel really is the only one who will just come out and say how much of an asshole Dana is

Has nothing to do with being an asshole.

The freedom Ngannou wanted was the ability to keep on actively being the UFC HW champ while putting his UFC career on hold so he could take a high profile boxing match that he'd lose so he could try and do a a cash grab and most likely never actually fight for the UFC.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Did Joe feel the same way when Fedor was good?

Also, i still think One Askren beats UFC GSP.

He has said things similar to your points, so yes. He loved Askren in Bellator and One and wanted Dana to squash the beef and sign him. He has also said that he regrets that Fedor never fought in the UFC and wanted a true unification of the PRIDE HW with the UFC.

Rogan has always been more of a combat sports fan than people on here give him credit for.

Francis wants to fight lesser talent for more money. He’s also not the best heavyweight in the world, since he lost to Gane

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

That should be the goal of anyone looking to do any job. Find the easiest version of that job in exchange for the most money.




Now you're just trolling.

He’s beaten nothing but old washed cans. Even won the belt off a 40yr old Stipe. Then arguably lost his first title defense while panic wrestling

 

[minowasmullet]

Should we give him a medal for saying the obvious?

Joe Rogan has a much larger platform to say more than he is just "bummed" out.

Considering the reasons why Francis and UFC could not come to an agreement, Joe could do a lot more but he won't.

Fair point I'm that used to Dana/UFC sycophants I might of overvalued his take.

Shouldn't Belal call it out before Joe?
Dudes nearly lost his vision and probably shortened his lifespan in that Octagon, Ali has a pretty powerful stable of fighters imagine if they all asked for the same or Jones and Gane said fuck it and held out too
I feel like that would be way more powerful than Joe calling out the bullshit

 

[ralphus1]

It's always a shame when a champion loses a title anywhere but in the ring/cage. Especially in this case where he's beaten everyone not named Jon Jones.

 

[frederick]

Francis isn't that great. He hits really hard.

 

[Rod Farva]

Don't worry by the time Francis fights in Bellator or PFL he will be considered automatically washed up.

Hahahahaha. Totally true.

guy wins- GOAT
guy loses- he sucks and was overrated all along
guy not in UFC- not a real fighter

Some people on here are very emotionally unstable & hypocritical when it comes to Dana & Rogan. Instead of being happy for Ngannou who can go make what he believes will be a lot a money & the opportunity to compete else where, posters on here are shitting on Dana & Rogan like they want Ngannou in the UFC fighting for measly 8million. You people are weird and your hate obsession towards Dana/UFC/Rogan shows how much you people really don't care about fighters but more of a hate train towards for whatever reason.

There's reason why people dislike them and everyone is free to have their own opinion

 

[ZackZed]

And if he returns to the UFC, the shills will say he is the best in the world again

When he returns. Hard to see him get a second money fight after Fury starches him.

For 500k a show I would too lol

 

[rtodd]

Joe Rogan will be calling Jones the greatest in the world if he wins and a what could have been if he loses.

No matter what he'll say whomever Dana tells him to say is the best in the world is the best in the world.

When it pertains to this Ngannou situation is there really a reason to dislike it? The UFC offered him a contract, Ngannou chose not to re sign. Thats it. Instead it's the UFCs fault he wasn't offered 100s of millions like you people believe these fighters deserve. Ngannou wanted to go Boxing, here's his chance. But then again you people jump like it's the UFCs fault they didn't let him go to boxing while under contract. Sure, you're free to a opinion, but some folks opinions are at conflict with they say to the point people are just looking for something to hate on the UFC.

[ExitLUPin]

The funniest part about this is Hogans dumbass is gonna call the Gane Jones winner the best HW in the world in 2 months.

 

[Codburn]

Maybe he should quit his piece of shit podcast then? Is it not the biggest in the world?

Joe could have thrown 5million into the Francis deal to help keep him and never ever missed the money.
