PBP PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants: Ngannou vs Ferreira ***Sherdog Discussion*** 10/19 1:30PM ET (ESPN+/DAZN PPV)

Francis emotional in there. This must be huge for his confidence. Dude has been through a lot. Happy to see that he won

12 months of boxing and his sons death and now a win.wow

I think he's a lot more mobile, would have landed more and definitely could have mixed it up better. Fighting against a guy with that type of movement on a torn ACL must be a nightmare, and yet, he found a way to win.

I don't think anyone is doubting he's the superior MMA fighter to Gane, but Gane is arguably one of the worst grapplers at HW, of course he won the fight.

His ACL was more than fine against Lewis where he was also outlanded, the guy is simply a mediocre technical striker with insane power.

Francis was smart enough to avoid trading tonight.

If Francis fights again within the next 6 months or so I'd like to see him face Vadim Nemkov, that'd be very interesting stylistically.

Renan would be a top 10 hw in the utc, no question: he absolutely would belong there

I absolutely agree Renan would be a top 10 guy for sure, but the difference between top 10 and top 5 in the UFC is quite big.

 

[Sasha]

I dont think any version of Francis outstrikes Gane.

Punchers chance, big power but the guy is slow as fuck

Yeah, I don't think Gane's problem is his striking really.

 

[Tchernobog]

So much for Problema, bro thought Francis was gonna swang n bang

 

[DrRodentia]

I guess Francis gets the winner of Goltsov/Popov next? Definitely not a lot in PFL for him.

 

[Söze Aldo]

It's hard to see exactly where Francis is right now. He ran through Renan but Renan isn't really a good measuring stick.

I mean he just ran through a 6'8" giant freak like butter, so not bad for someone who should be dealing with a fair bit of cage rust.

 

[Istryker]

Feed frank bader please or sign Anatoly for a super fight

Francis has improved since the Lewis fight, and exponentially at that. I'm not sure what those two fights four years apart, against two vastly different opponents and incredibly different circumstances have to do with one another outside of being invoked to dump on Francis irrationally. All good. Enjoy yourself.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

What an ugly belt.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Can you throw a fish over here bud ? I'm not that far and hungry.

Hahah, nowadays I live a little bit more up north brother, in Sweden, because of my Master’s.
Don’t think I can throw all the way to France but I may give it a shot for you

Nemkov via brutal KO

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

which 40 year old bum in the roster is francis fighting next in the PFL?

Ironic cuz the supposed “p4p #1 fighter” is fighting a 40 year old instead of the interim champ.

 

[battouter]

feels like more people watched this by other means than buying the ppv

 

[Osculater]

Fedor Ngannou would end the universe as we know it


We can't allow them to produce a love child

You can't fight fate, bruv!

Sure, and he destroyed him as you would expect a top top hw to do. I’m happy with that. It was a great performance. You really couldn’t ask for much better.

 

[Istryker]

which 40 year old bum in the roster is francis fighting next in the PFL?

Renan smokes Stipe

 

[BoxerMaurits]

I was watching all along, but I appreciate that you took the time to send a reminder... especially since this was a different start time than most UFC events, so a good chance that someone who might have missed the main event caught it live because of you.



You are a good dude @BoxerMaurits

With pleasure, my man!
