Ngannou getting too big for his britches

[Nabs]

Just listened to him on the weasel's show.

Dude is not the sharpest tool in the shed business wise. I commended him for betting on himself by leaving the UFC, and I'm glad it worked out for him financially.

That being said, the guy is an idiot. His reasoning for not showing up at PFL Africa is that the African fighters were on the undercard while Eblen, Dakota, etc. were on the main card.

As low as the PFL's viewership is, who was going to watch that card if it was just full of unknown African fighters? The PFL was smart to use their biggest names to highlight that card thus giving the African fighters an opportunity to shine.

The dude is just not bright at all. He's a diva too. He was at odds with Dana in the UFC, and now he's beefing with Don Davis (who's an idiot too btw). Smh!

 

[don't ask]

That doesn't rank very highly on stupid MMA ideas in light of everything the UFC / Dana does and a few days after learning DDP decided takedown defense was a bad idea.

He made his money now he's happy to tell everyone to fuck off. Funny though because I think as much money as he's gotten, he hasn't made anyone that gave him that money anything. H

onestly the money side of things is boring. Just as a mma fan, after he won the UFC title in 2021, he won a close fight with Gane after waiting a year, then a couple years later took down Renan and finished him in the PFL. What a waste of the final parts of his career. I was thinking he'd replace inactive Stipe and clean up the division. Just did nothing, what a bummer.

 

[Disconnected]

You 'Commanded' him? Damn, is that you Dana?

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Francis isn’t a team player. Now he’s CTE’d. Tomorrow he’ll be begging for a hematch with Lewis..

 

[Portland8242]

yeah i'll have to humble up and admit Dana was probably right about him the entire time

 

[Emporio Alnino]

St Frank said he wasn't OK with the event seeming like an undercard and it needed more glory. You'd think he could've fought on the card if that was the case...

"I commanded him for betting on himself"

If you are going to call someone an idiot, maybe you should check your post for errors first.

 

[podsox]

francis is the luckiest fighter in mma history. Hit the market at the exact time Turki decided to give people crazy money while getting little in return

 

[Mammothman]

Yeah not the smartest thing to say.

 

[Nabs]

Hahaha... Fixed. Excuse-moi. L'anglais n'est pas ma première langue.

I don't think he was right about everything, but the diva part is def looking more legit by the day.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Francis betting on himself and getting his bag were cool and all, and props to him for getting that bag, but there were indicators all along that he was maybe diva-ish, or at the very least had expectations FAR beyond the norm and what's realistic.

It's weird because some of the things he asked for I'm good with, but in the context of historic contracts, and every contract since, they were beyond atypical requests. Fighter advocates, freedom to box and other things, insurance for all.

I'm not even against the ideas, I'm just saying Francis clearly thought a lot of himself to expect he'd be the first guy to get those things. Not surprised to see him still doing business like that.

Ok, genius. Quand tu pourras parler 3 langues courramment, on pourra en discuter.

 

[Neck&Neck]

He went from “The Predator” to The Pretentious

 

[Fact Checker]

In retrospect Daner looks like a genius for letting this windmilling diva walk.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

He seems to be doing ok for himself. Though the rationale is a dumb one for not showing up

Frank just wants to drive over kids in 3rd world countries
leave the man alone

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Francis has problems with everybody he works with.

From his former coach, to UFC, the Saudis, PFL.

Feed him to Joshua again
