Why should Francis have bothered, Brocks getting the next title shot anyway...

[Da Killa]

Haha, I don’t believe that’s the reason, but really, next shot is for Brock who has done nothing to earn it. Why not coast it until the HWs isn’t put on pause any more? DC will wait for Brock. It will probably be close to a year before that fight happens, just relax now and wait for that to be over before you put in the real effort again.

Because...he wants post-win bonuses and not to be cut?

Or,

KO Derek is amazing fashion, get that hype back and eventually get the shot. Possibly against Lesnar and become super rich.

Because he wants to fight for the HW title again and not get cut

 

[Blocker]

Actually I would buy this as being a reason Ngannou looked so bad, why care when winning gives you no title shot?

That will be old news by the time they are looking for legit challengers again. Not worth the risk.

Brockroids has more juice in him than the Ocean Spray factory.

Still, would love to see DC smash him.

 

[Swing]

So people actually want to see him fight again. The lousy show he put on doesn't just affect his contention for the title. Just as a hypothetical, imagine him trying to make a case for a better contract.

 

[Otto!]

I’m not about to pay to watch Ngannou as main event for a while.

 

[MisdemeanorMMA]

Knowing if you kod your opponent in 5 seconds didn’t matter had to be demotivating.

 

[oldschoolmmafan]

Miocic mind fucked Ngannou...

 

[Silverstar17]

You realize he lost? And Dana is probably pissed off as fuck.

Another title shot will take a lot of effort for him.

And that is not even assuming that he has a serious mental issue to deal with right now.
