If Francis gets big pay day from boxing its possible.


UFC would take Francis back in heartbeat even though Dana said that door is closed. Dana said same thing about Jones etc.

Jones/Gane PPV could do 500K+

Jones vs Francis could be close to 1 million imo.

Dana would never do it, it's all about the narrative.

You can't take a victory lap on a complete guess, just because you happened to be right. You couldn't possibly haveknownthat Jon was going to look just as good as he used to.

No one expected Gane to utterly fold under the pressure either (probably should have, french etc). I don't believe that was the best Gane had to offer. The difference is, Jon thrives in those situations, like a true GOAT.
Idk where this is coming from.

People called out Ganes grappling/clinch disadvantage from the start.

People saying how Gane had no answer for Francis taking him down.

So no, not 100% on how Jon looked, because a lot of it was based off how Gane looked in the grappling/clinch area.

Lol @ literal retards who bet Gane by submission. Its not a meme, YOU are the meme.

Yea bro, you were only totally wrong abouteverything. Top tier analysis. You must train, right? RIGHT? YOU TRAIN, YEAH?

You're supposedly 44 years old and are acting like a pretentious cretin on a bodybuilding forum subsection. There's only one clown here, bucko.
Wrong about everything? Lol, nope. I did underestimate Volk, but still got the winner right, and it was his grappling control that won it.

And I do train 5-6 days a week, and try to do at least one tournament a year. How about you?

Have been wrong plenty of times, but I called this Jones fight accurately between the couple different threads on this fight.

how is barely predicting such a heavy favorite that most people say could have gone either way something to be proud of? i'm not even saying that just because i picked volk to win


islams strongpoint wasn't even his grappling in the fight, his biggest strengths were his striking

Haven’t watched or trained in MMA for a while, been watching and training since before UFC 1, oldcel checking in,

just came in here to laugh, the guy Jon Jones was fighting is an absolute embarrassment, if fedor fought someone like this in pride, it would be said that Fedor is fighting another can, and rightfully so, What’s even more stupid is people calling Jon Jones the goat, or whatever due to this fight, this is an absolute embarrassment, MMA fans have a memory span of a goldfish, every two weeks they have a new goat, as far as greatest of all time goes, 2005 Crocop destroys Jon Jones, let’s wait to see him fight somebody who at least looks like he knows what the **** he’s doing, but obviously Jon Jones is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

Cejudo is an interesting guy. Never understood the hate, I think he's awesome. Always has had entertaining fights.

Had two major turning points in his career that could have made things really different
1) he probably lost to DJ in their second fight
2) he retired to get more money from Dana and Dana called his bluff

smart entertaining guy. clearly a good coach.

Main takehome points for me:

1. Cody still has no chin and has employed a 'dance around the cage' routine and turned into a point fighter, constantly fixing his hair.
2. Valentina is a sore loser. HOWEVER that ref is a fkin retard in that fight, and completely changed the course of how things were going. Standing them up when she had control on the ground and was landing shots, and after what 30 seconds? Seems fixed to me.
3. Glad I didn't watch it live because the Jones fight was boring as hell. Fake Jones thanking Jesus un sheeeit just lmao

I know they were trying to sell bunch of ppv so in lead up ignored thatGane got taken down by Francis with two blown acl's.

To me this last night was Lewis vs Cormier basically.




As for next fight...Stipe has nothing for Jon.

Stipe is like thousand years old.

Jones can take him down or just chop his legs down with leg kicks.

Easy win for Jones.


Only challenge for Jon could be Blaydes or Sergei.
Excellent point.

I totally forgot about that fact.

Fight winner of Blaydes/Sergei.

Than just sits and waits for the biggest pay day.


Meanwhile Francis will get one boxing pro fight. Get destroyed (especially if rumors are true its gonna be Wilder)

All the hype /draw goes away.




In the background Dana will be waiting.

Dec 2024.

Jones vs Francis.
Yeah I'm not interested in the Stipe fight. Jones is going to oblique kick him into the grave

I'm interested in Jones vs Aspinall.

this is the worst take ever. nobody would have said he was fighting a can. People considered Jones the goat BEFORE this fight.

Who is this "new" GOAT you are talking about? it's always been Fedor, Silva, Jones, GSP, etc at the top. Lol he whooped Cormier's ass twice, beat Gustaffsson twice, beat legends like lyoto, rua, vitor, evans, rampage, etc and you're saying wait to see him fight somebody who knows what they are doing? lmao bruh.

The point was that no one cares if you train. I've seen you mention training or asking others if they train in a condescending way multiple times. Several fighters in the UFC picked Gane to win. It wasn't a ridiculous prediction given all the questions surrounding Jon.

We watch and talk about MMA because it's fun. Just stop being kunty. It's not a competition. Coming back after a fight and being like "hahahahahaha, look at this idiot", "all these clowns", etc. Mate, you're fkin 44. Get a grip.

Jones also had 6/22 takedowns in his past 4 fights in his own division


So you're acting like it was guaranteed but it wasn't, Jones wasn't even the betting favorite to begin with. My friends IRL that don't watch MMA were saying Jones would win based off highlight reels which is what most people went off, actual analysts didn't count Gane out and many chose him. I guess you mog them though


Francis also got mauled by Stipe and then trained grappling nonstop. It seems like Gane didn't even do that this fight, but I won't take anything away from Jon


Weird how you were saying you're a multi millionaire but now you're acting like a $100 1/9 bet is the end of the world. Just lol @ you kunt

That was the biggest thing that stood out for me and I think Valentina should complain all she likes about it. She was actively working on top and throwing enough punches now and then to be considered active at any time in UFC history.

They did the same with other fights during the night, but I think this one was more henious.

I seen someone say something interesting. Gane should go to MMA Academy and train with Jones. Jones can teach him grappling while Ganes will be a great striking sparring partner for his next couple/few fights. Jones himself said he felt iffy on the feet and Gane would be a great guy to level this up against


That would be straight up the best idea for Gane but it's a question if he's too nice to leave his coach behind. Look what happened to Francis after he left the same coach, dramatic improvement.

Good points.

Big fish in a small pond is not the way to grow as a fighter. Francis looked awful after his Stipe and Lewis fights.

Top level big guys (especially strikers) are not used to getting bullied / fighting from the bottom as a result of naturally how few guys there are of that size and skill level.

Jon was questioning how much suffering Gane was doing with his ground work, and to a certain degree I think it was apparent. Gane going to Cejudo or Jackson, and living in their wrestling room would do wonders in filling the big hole in his game. Wrestling rooms are meat grinders, and will be a real test of how badly he wants to be champ.

Gane has good submission skills for a HW and amazing striking, so getting continually worked over and mauled wrestling will only make all the other parts of his game better.

did you read what i said? it's not how Jon jones looked, it's how Gane looked in his previous fights. zero grappling and wrestling.

as for jones, your stats aside, Jones is a known wrestler, grappler, clincher.

also your comment about $100 bets is retarded. i don't know how much or care how much you bet. you are a stupid inexperienced better. no offense.

Exactly brah. He already has the striking reflexes, so he should just focus entirely on grappling with those big boys if he wants to be champ. There'd be no ego either since Jones is having a few more fights max and then leaving. I'm sure he'd be down since he said he liked Gane

You keep saying it's not about Gane but then bring up his grappling lol. Of course it was about Jon, there's not one person in the cage.


You're pretending that I'm a casual over one bet even though many people picked Gane including people that would roundhouse kick you into the grave. GSP picked him for example and he trained with him in person


I've already linked my other bets here, and I don't delete posts when I'm wrong as you can see. I have a positive ratio but keep hating brah

You keep saying it's not about Gane but then bring up his grappling lol. Of course it was about Jon, there's not one person in the cage.


You're pretending that I'm a casual over one bet even though many people picked Gane including people that would roundhouse kick you into the grave. GSP picked him for example and he trained with him in person


I've already linked my other bets here, and I don't delete posts when I'm wrong as you can see. I have a positive ratio but keep hating brah
