Can't wait to see Francis, the undisputed MMA HW Champion, back in the cage.​

No matter who his opponent is... they'll show more HW courage than Pico ever did.

​

I hope so

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

I hope so

 

[DarthChen731]

I'd shit my pants laughing if Ryan Bader ends up beating Ngannou

 

[Elvis.]

Is it bad that I have very little interest in seeing him fight either one of those guys ?

 

[Neck&Neck]

“Expected to”

Pure Fiction League

I hope he fights
but I think he’s always loved boxing and might not come back

 

[Siver!]

This is cool!

It's going to feel like a big deal, I know some aren't going to like a big fight taking place in PFL that actually matters, but it's about to.

And it's great, too, MMA needs competition like this - and more! I don't want it to be that the best fighters are spread across 5 or 6 orgs, but certainly 2 or 3.

Ngannou probably beats either Renan or Bader, then the PFL really need to dig deep and find some intriguing opponents from somewhere!

 

[Arm Barbarian]

His hands are likely going to be even more lethal now after training boxing non stop. Hopefully he is drilling his counter-wrestling again if he does decide to return to MMA.

GIVE ME VIOLENCE!!!!!!!

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I expect Ngannou to do PFL a solid and fight for them at least one time.

 

[Vulve]

sorry but im a dana white guy
also not interested at all in a oldman ngannou vs fossil bader pfl fight

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

@helax

Is Ngannou going to Ride on 4's on the PFL heavyweights?

 

[CanMMAfan]

I remember when Bader looked terrified to do anything against Rumble and ended up shooting from halfway across the octagon and got stuffed and flattened and the fight was over.

 

[Kryptt]

0 energy interest in Ngannou till I see a MMA fight booked.

 

[Siver!]

I expect Ngannou to do PFL a solid and fight for them at least one time.

I expect so, too.

I know the narrative is he would make so much more boxing, but a win is much more likely in an MMA fight. And he's only going to be relevant if he proves he can still win fights.

Ngannou... probably has a higher Free Throw % than Shaq. MMA and NBA GOAT
