Would you like to see Francis Ngannou back in the UFC?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I'd love to see him back, he's still one of the elite HWs out there.

Would love to see him against Jones or Aspinall.

 

[VinceArch]

The more contenders in the HW division, the better it is. Of course, all he'd be doing is taking the faux HW champ's spot.

 

[Luffy]

And who'd he fight against?

Read the OP.

 

[Luffy]

Read the OP.

Well, if JJ wants, it'd need to be JJ, unless JJ asks for Ngannou to fight Tom first, as JJ likely beat Ngannou easier than he did vs Tom...

 

[haj02]

Yeah would be a great fight between him and Tom. Might even get Jones dick hard enough to take another fight if those two fight well enough.

 

[Luffy]

Yeah, JJ said recently he didn't feel nervous in his last two fight (which to him was the biggest sign he needed to retiree). Against Gane, he said he felt that excitement, but vs Stipe and Tommy he said he couldn't feel that anxiety and adrenaline, almost like he was expecting someone to really push him in a way he'd have to pull a 180 to win. But even if Tom, the best heavyweight ever, Dominick no one could see him, that all other fighters from others divisions, even Islam and Ankalaev chose to their special strongest team... Still was below Jon Jones, like , a 100 vs 90, then JJ might be feeling bored ... Poor guy got so good by training more consistently all these years that he never found another Gus 1 fight he had to dig hard to win...

 

[JBJ was here]

I'd much rather watch highlights of Frank's old fights than watch a new fight of his, especially against Aspinall or Jones where, since they both have enough fight IQ not to open themselves up to counterpunching against Ngannou and both would totally wreck him in wrestling/grappling, Frank would rate to have no offense at all.

 

[Brood]

No. Who needs to see Frank knocking out dudes when we already have Jon ducking out the same dudes?

 

[Nintendo 64]

The obvious answer is yes. I can't remember any of the last five HW fights I watched. Meanwhile I remember most Ngannou's fights. And so do you.

 

[Marko Polo]

Francis V Aspinall is a MASSIVE fight that UFC should be working towards. It would take time to build that up into the fight it could be. Both men probably need a win

 

[Luffy]

Why no one talks about Ankalaev vs JJ? JJ > Tom... Ank is the C now. Alex did the best he could for the organization, it was the 2nd time he said yes for last notice IFW .... Sadly, that took a toll and he is likely not able to fight again due to injuries, like a knee that won't work more.

If you want to see JJ challenged, Ankalaev does it better than Ngannou. But JJ is above Ankalaev too and he will likely retire. After beating Tom, and Alex sadly.... JJ has no more incentive.

Francis "Ngannou" Lenin-Marxx has left UFC because he wanted:
- Fighters union
- Share most of UFC profits among its fighters
- Equal fighters pay
- Fairness of competition

Everything on the list - his own words from both Ariel's interview and his own youtube video prior leaving UFC. I doubt UFC fulfils his socialist agenda this time again, so Frank Lenin-Marx has to give up on his ideas to re-join. Or he can re-join for sabotaging UFC from the inside and make the revolution.

 

[Davey Grant]

HW needs him, force JJ to make a decision, fight or retire....

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

If he can sign and get a fight in 4 to 6 months then fine. If its going to be two years before he signs and then another six months before he fights then lets just skip all this and move on.

 

[theincognito]

The division would be much, much more interesting with him in the mix. Besides Jones vs. Aspinall (which doesn't even look like it will happen), there's nothing.

 

[wildchild88]

So because of politics some people don’t want to see Francis in the ufc?

He’s a spectacle.. p4p one of the best athletes in the history of the sport. He started training late and ran a train through the UFC to the title shot.

It will be hard to top his massive sabotage against PFL. Pretty much a financial implosion.

dana was in on it from the start. Just a long plot to knee cap PFL before they could get off the ground

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Of course. He is the biggest name HW outside of Jon.

Ngannou/Tom, Ngannou/Jon, Ngannou/Gane 2 would all be money fights.
