Media Ngannou pays respect to Stipe

And I think most knew based on the damage Stipe took with DC, that Francis would roll in the rematch..
 
I knew Ngannou would learn from that fight like no other. That fight was a epiphany for him I believe.

And that's really nice of him to say those words about Stipe, he is one of the greatest of all-time.

And to think there are idiots out there like Dana and his followers that want this false narrative about him being arrogant and egotistical to stick. You cant knock him now, he is being humble...stop reaching. Arrogant is rockhold, jones, Conor, etc.

i don't know, even his former coach said that about him.

i'm not saying either way, i don't know him personally but just because you make 1 instagram post that isn't a reflection of your actual personality, or did you forgive Jon Jones after he posted on instagram massaging his wife's feet?

What happened in the Black Beast fight then?

I don't think he was mentally there, he checked out in that fight. He was still reeling from his last fight with Stipe. It took awhile for Ngannou to get over that loss with Stipe and to learn from it.

Yea, because one post of his showing humility equals humbleness, right? Lol

Only if Stipe really wants the fight. He’s not getting any younger and Francis is just entering his prime.

I'm pretty sure Stipe wants avenge the loss to Francis. We have to wait and see how Francis vs Gane will play out. And if Francis wins Stipe has to start kissing Dana's butt to get a rematch

I’d like to see Stipe fight someone in the mean time too. HW’s generally have a longer career than the lighter weight classes, and if Stipe puts on weight like he said we was going to, he should have no problem talking on someone like Blaydes or Volkov and then working himself into the title fight

He isn’t though. He fought Stipe in end of March and was ready for Lewis in September. That’s a very reasonable timeline, considering he went back to visit family in Africa after the title fight.

UFC pushed for beginning of August, just to save the Houston card. He declined.

Now he faces Gane in January and he had to wait on Gane as he just fought in August.

The excuses didn't matter with miocic even though he fought MORE per year than the avg HW champ BEFORE needing eye surgery after cormier tried to gouge his eye out.

As I said above, the excuses don't matter, so when you add it up - ONE fight in 2020 for nganoo and ONE fight in 2021 for ngannoo. That means the current HW champ gives you ONE fight a year. ONE is a number you can't argue, it's right there in black and white.

The details matter.

Short story: Ngannou is defending 10 months after getting the belt because 6 months was too long to wait for the UFC brass.

Yet, he said he’d be ready to go July-August for the big money fight with Jones. It was only after Jones pulled out, and Lewis became the fight that the exact same timeline was suddenly no good.

Some of you are so dishonest.
 
Still don’t know why the fuck he took that trip to France the first fight
 
Rebuttal post for Gane confirming Francis might have an ego.
<mma3>
(Lot of "I" in paying respect to Stipe)

I could reverse that and ask for proof that Francis has been consistently arrogant enough to justify Dana's comments, the onus is on the ones calling Francis arrogant I believe. His old coach might just be salty, he should've gotten a written agreement if he feels he deserved more pay, he didn't negotiate properly it seems.

He said July-August once in the post fight interview after winning in March. Is it unconceivable that his availablity could have changed afterward? Was September abnormaly late for a title defense?
And it's not Ngannou who tried to handpick Jones, Dana White publicly said it was the plan before Stipe-Ngannou 2.
