He asked for Jones tho. He won't come back to the UFC but he'd do a cross promotion match PFL vs UFC but Dana wouldn't do that.
Ok, this is starting to sound a little more possible. I think with his Saudi backers a LOT of doors will be opened for Francis - abroad and domestically. I think Dana wasn't able to stop his progress when he was an unemployed and injured ex-fighter without a home. I can't imagine Dana will suddenly become capable of stopping his progress now that he's the darling of the fight world, a household name, and backed by Saudis. Let's see how it goes. Time will do the snitching for sure.Not fighting in the US, but I think he could definitely freeze him out of a lot of big venues. WWE are known to do that with their competition.

Yeah, I agree. I think Francis is too big of a name now for Endeavor to stop him from fighting. Maybe a few venues here and there, but as you said he's got the Saudi's on his side now.Ok, this is starting to sound a little more possible.

EDIT: If he "does what little he could do" (to quote Queen Cersei), I think he'll only make more enemies in boxing and close more doors for himself than he will for Francis. Interesting times.
I dont think he fights for the PFL (or any other org), i think he's got his mind set on a boxing career now
Sherdoggers must stop dreaming about Francis returning to UFC. That won't ever happen!
Francis won't return to UFC even vs Jones super fight. After he saw that boxing money & getting split decision loss vs Fury he will try to box more.
He used to fight for peanuts in UFC & has had enough of it. He will make much more money fighting Anthony Joshua in UK or Saudi Arabia, or fighting WIlder in US than fighting Jon Jones in UFC.
He ain't returning to UFC & you all must forget about it!
