[Vincent Van Goat]

This makes less than zero percent lmao

Arman in a no win situation with this matchup smh

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This didn't seem fake on Nate's part lol

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Still a draw, eh

Imagine what Jones vs Francis or Jones vs izzy would have done

July 8 card looks solid.

What's the good number for the first March PPV? They don't even report PPV numbers anymore.

 

[xbiker47]

Idc what anyone says, Jones goes out there and smokes stipe it makes Jones vs Francis that much bigger. Easily over a million ppv buys

This is taking into account Francis is on the sideline the whole time and hasn’t fought in another organization

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Francis would be wise to just come back and make sure he get a cut of the ppv points

They will both eat and get bags

 

[jayt1202]

290 card looks solid with great scraps from top to bottom. Missing that major headliner like Izzy or Jones but no complaints here.

289 on the other hand, not jazzed about the main and really only looking forward to the co main with Benny/Charles. Rest of card is rough on paper though Ige-Landwehr could be fun.

 

[spiderjericho]

Dana better bring dem to catch me. Not paying for that lackluster card. Definitely ESPN or ABC level card.

I still want to know what a big number is for the last year?

And, I agree, Francis versus Jon is probably the biggest fight they can make. Francis' name would've grown more with that fight.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

UFC DROPPED THE BALL

had him and let him slip away smhhhhh

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lol, wow

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Damb, Brian Campbell brought up a real point today: the ufc is loading more and more cards with no names/contender series guys managed all by the same handful of managers

Basically these managers are in bed with Dana and are gatekeeping in a sense

I don’t know how much that’s impacting overall but I knew with the increase of events that they’re using any and everybody to fill them

 

[SORIANOTRON]

I don't think Dana will ever bring Francis back.

Seems personal at this point, Dana gets a deal done with everyone....so the fact they couldn't come to terms (wild) leads me to believe Dana just don't want to do business with the guy at all now.

He may not be as big a draw, but Stipe is the bigger challenge for the goat anyway. He's a complete fighter.

Francis is more of a spectacle.

Didn't he get rid of his manager recently? I could see that helping if he wants to return since from what I remember Dana didn't like him.

oh damn, that's pretty indicative if true.

Still don't see it happening though.

If Dana did business with Jon Jones, Tito Ortiz, Randy Couture, the Diaz Brothers, etc.

If it makes $$$, he’ll bring Francis back.

That Capt Eric A Moreno/Henry story. He is blaming the UFC. Moreno blames Henry. But it was his fault for trying to be strategic with then TUF picks.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Yeah I'd argue these examples do not bode well for Francis.

He got deals done with them doods despite the beef/money....

Francis the only one they walked away from.

 

[jewseejay]

The UFC are actively negotiating with Francis team right now... trying to anyway.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 

[spiderjericho]

I low key can’t see how they’d make that fight. Might as well make Khamzat/Colby then.

And Colby trolling Ali Abdelasleeze and his camp.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Holy ****, I didn't realize Kelvin hasn't fought at 170 since 2016. I'm washed and old

 

[spiderjericho]

Why did he leave in the first place? Kept missing weight?

He was definitely an undersized middle weight.
