Losing a child has got to be right up there as one of the worst things anyone could experience emotionally. Its so senseless. Cant even imagine what Francis must be going through right now. RIP little fella.
Not really. Its been a 1a/1b situation between those two for like a decade now. Even in the Floyd days outside of him and Pac the UFC was pulling more consistent numbers and producing stars more frequently.
Boxing happens to have more star power at this moment in time but if we look at at the overall situation through the last 15 years or so I wouldnt say theres really anything in it.
I like Gane but if we are being honest the guy has been quite favoured by the UFC over the years. Notice how for one he was the only one of the 4 prospects who came up in the last few years (Tom, Pav, Jailton) who never had to face Blaydes on the way up.
Seems like the beatdown was more about the sucker punch considering contact was barely made with the ring girl and a lot of those dudes appear to be muslims themselves.
Hes not an elite level guy by any stretch but people are invested in him even if in most cases its because they want him to get his ass kicked. He has way more star power than typical fringe top 15 guys do.
People were anticipating that Volk might start declining and that his chin would be cracked after the Islam fight. Still a great win obviously but I think Islam softened Volk up significantly.
Elite kickboxer who hits hard as fuck and is fighting a bunch of guys that arent great at wrestling and usually barely even try to wrestle him. Tbh hes having a pretty easy time in MMA overall, easier than he had in his own sport.
I just want him get derailed so we can finally drop all this. He reminds me a lot of Dillian Whyte, a boring third wheel who nobody really cares about and who lingers around acting like hes some poor victimized would be champ if only he got his shot.
Semi modern MMA fighters like Werdum and Hendo, two guys who were literally in Pride and nowhere near as successful there as Fedor was lol.
Fedor is to this day, next to Jones, probably the most all round skilled HW ever. Hes also maybe the fastest. He makes most "modern" HWs look like sloppy...
Yeah the WWE is surely bringing in way more money. They're running upwards of 5 cards a week selling tens of thousands of tickets, have multiple shows doing bigger ratings than UFC shows, have their own streaming service thats much bigger than Fight Pass, and obviously their merch deals for...
Gane and Ngannou would be harder fights for Rico in kickboxing than any challengers hes had there in years tbh.
Whether he could do well in MMA? who knows. For HW MMA hes at the higher end of athleticism and obviously technical striking though.
