Rumored Ngannou vs Lewis pushed back to SEP

[JoeRowe]

That would mean UFC 266 would have title defenses from Ngannou, Jan, AND Volkanovski.

265 has Nunes vs Pena (LOL).

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

Francis

 

[Yep]

They’re trying to get that Jones fight done

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Makes sense. August would be too hot for Black Beast's balls. September weather is much cooler

 

[empsim]

Understandable, fitting 2 or 3 fights per year into your schedule must be hard.

 

[JoeRowe]

Maybe they can pay Usman(vs Colby) or Nick Diaz(vs Lawler?) to beef up the ppv buys. Maybe pay Rose & Shevy to defend their belts on the first ever 3 WMMA title-fight card?

They'll probably just go with Nunes/Pena, Aldo/Munhoz, & Chiesa/Luque, which isnt great because Nunes has consistently drawn just 100k ppv buys as the main attraction; Pennington/Shevy rematch/Spencer.

Respect to Nunes, but I bet Dana doesn’t think she can carry a PPV by herself. I bet they move the Jan fight up from UFC 266 to UFC 265.

 

[Mammothman]

Nobody should have any problem with this, that would make Ngannou second fight in the year which should be the standard.

 

[Jackonfire]

You can't run forever Francis

 

[jsbx45]

Jon needs time...

 

[Osiris3657]

That 265 card is rumored to be in Houston...Hard pass if Nunes/Pena is the main event

They should just make Nunes v Pena a fight night lmao. Would get a max of 80k PPV buys.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Frank Ngannou knocks him out this time.

If there is no Lewis fighting for the belt in his hometown, they might do Houston for a later date.

[SpecialDelivery]

Crazy how many people think Francis is easily going to beat Lewis. In case you forgot, Lewis is pretty good at Knocking people the fuck out also. I see this fight 50/50.

 

[Pierced7681]

Yea right I’ll believe it when I see that Ngannou sign the contract

 

[method115]

I just hope it's a good fight. I don't want to see that shit I saw last time.
