Media Dana White Finally Addresses Francis Ngannou KO Loss

[ryun253]

To be fair to Dana, he didn't bring it up... reporters did and he answered truthfully, he's worked in boxing way before MMA and knew the skill gap in BOXING between actual BOXERS and MMA fighters.

Professional fighter who could beat up the promoter, wow brilliant take on what the thread is actually about.

Really into defending your daddy Dana, huh? Swinging from his nuts big time? Well, hate to break it to you, but Dana claimed to be a pro boxer at one time, which is why I said 'at any time in his career.' It doesn't take a genius.

Francis is a liar and fake person

This is emotional and feminine. These feelings you have for a stranger is bizarre. Saying we shouldn't care about what a promotor says, because a professional fighter would knock them out is idiotic.

 

[Simian Raticus]

Not wrong, except that he’s clearly fine with crossovers when he’s getting a piece of the action.

 

[Jinx_AA]

Truth and nothing to be ashamed of

Francis made 32 million in 2 boxing matches … and less then 4M in 14 ufc fights - hats off to him

MMA fighters can’t out box boxers (proven multiple times ) and boxers can’t beat mma fighters In mma as HW James Tony proved against LHW old AF Randy couture

 

[krelianx]

I'm personally fed up with these circus shitshows, so I'm glad Francis got murked.

Really funny how these poor guys who are so insecure in their masculinity have to project it outward. Do you think I care that some goofball on the internet said something I said was feminine? You realize you are not on Redditt, right? You realize others who aren't insecure aren't upset by something like that in the way you are, right?

Again, the promoter was a pro fighter, are you daft? I already said that.

You were the one that started this conversation by defending Dana like you were HIS little girl. I was just stating my opinion. You got all butthurt and responded.

 

[ulysse]

Francis is a liar and fake person

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Nobody wants Dana's hands

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

I still think Tito would outbox Dana.

I think at the time they were supposed to box, Dana was taking it seriously enough (roid up) and is petty enough to have beaten Tito in a strictly boxing fight lol
The only time I'd ever bet on the goof

 

[rjmbrd]

Was true statement. He didn't really talk down on Francis and take digs at him. Just basically MMA fighters shouldn't box wit professional boxers.

Yeah what a terrible way to make $30,000,000

 

[RoñaCastroJr]

He was a bit rude about the Tyson Fury comment, but Dana was working in boxing way before he was a part of UFC. He knew how dangerous boxers are

Boxercise is a hell of a background

 

[xhaydenx]

Frank got like 30 million reasons not to give a single fuck what this guy thinks. He can probably afford Christmas snow for his desert back home

And Dana's got like 300+ million reasons not to care about Francis at this point.

They were going to pay Francis 8 mil a fight or whatever. That's a lot of money for a guy who very likely could have gone in there and had his star power shut right down with a loss to Jon or Aspinall.

Instead, he went and got his star power hurt while signed to PFL.

Frank is also 37. Dana and the UFC wouldn't have gotten that much more mileage out of him anyway. Now PFL have to over pay him instead of them, and Dana can move onto the next big thing he can latch onto, like more Power Slap lol.

 

[ryun253]

Boxercise is a hell of a background

He has some nice stories

 

[ForeverYoung]

Ngannou might have lost, but he will always live rent free in Dana's head.

When goofcon is gone, the world will be a better place.

Lol Francis will piss that 25 mil he made from both fights combined after camp and taxes away within 10 years and then what? Literally the entire casual combat sports fanbase knows him as the guy who go posterized by Anthony Joshua. If Francis jumps the gun and comes back too soon and gets KO'd by Ferreira his career is toast. Career decisions like his are how you end up like Fedor getting KO'd cold into your late 40s for a measly 100k flat. Dana wins literally every time despite whatever delusions the haters have.

 

[Neck&Neck]

I still think Tito would outbox Dana.

Bro don’t get me started on this fight
This was the one that got away

 

[Chayanne]

guck you dana, You can't trade that Ngannou said no and has made millions outside the UFC

 

[AstralPanda]

I’m not a Dana hater like many in here, but this seems a bit uncalled for and harsh on Francis tbh.

not really

This is almost universally what you'd probably expect to hear amongst boxing circles

 

[TheGreatA]

Fury can't punch so it would've never gone down like that.

Joshua's power seems to be totally underrated after he started fighting more timidly. He's in the same category as Wladimir Klitschko and Lennox Lewis. Fury is several tiers below, he just wears you down.
