Media Ngannou tried to purposely knockout UFC contender in sparring.

I liked hard sparring but I always asked whoever wanted to spar with me what they were OK with.

That being said, I have had some people try to pull a Charlie Zelenoff on me. I dont care how hard you like to spar, that is bullshit.

So maybe that is what was going on in with Francis. Ank felt that this was not to about anything other than this guy is coming for my head no matter what.


You can feel a difference right away when its personal.

Yeah, people acting like he is just talking about regular hard sparring are being silly.

Sparring is suppose to be playful and fun, relaxed. I’ve done Dutch kickboxing sparring and even that isn’t too hard.

At Mike's Gym?

I mean the guy is from fucking Dagestan for fucks sake. He means what he is saying.
 
For hard sparring mine was 60% to the head whatever you want to the body
hahah i always would throw jab w 100%

but not hooks and kicks like that hahah

I remember hard jabbing this MT guy and he hit me HARD with a kick to the body. But we both laughed and toned it down after that
 
Ngannou is a bum. Ankalaev tosses his salad in a no striking match.

Some people go nuts in sparring, try to match their intensity or tell them to lighten up before hand.
Kendall Grove and teh Bois taught Matt Hammill a little lesson not to go so hard. I loved seeing Tito's pet get a humbling.
 
i thought he deserved next title shot. but after this he kinda seems like a crybaby.
 
Doesn't sound like the behavior of MMA's #1 benefactor and fighters' rights activist!!
It's sparring bruv, not massage.



This thread is filled with confused mofos. MMA fanbase is notoriously bad because it consists of people who never even tried the sport. With soccer, basketball etc, their hardcore fans atleast played that shit at one point in their lives.

Different kinds of sparring for different purposes.

It's all about knowing beforehand what type of sparring you're going into.

Kickboxing and MT sparring are light mostly yes.

If I remember correctly that was some random guy off the street who signed up for one of those famous Greg Jackson/ Mike winklejohn train with your favorite fighter seminars

That's wild if true. Wonder if he signed a waiver or something
