Fury was planning to fight a month after beating Ngannou. That is unheard of in modern day boxing. Goes to show what fury really thought of francis. Didn't respect him at all
Growing up, I was captivated by the likes of Nigel Benn, Eubank, Tyson, and Lewis. Back then, boxing felt like a genuine competition between warriors. Saw Tyson Fury's first pro fight and thought he was a joke. Now, he's considered one of the greatest, but after seeing him struggle against someone who's never boxed professionally, I feel like the curtain's been pulled back. Boxing's not the sport I fell in love with anymore.
You’ve got a point, if you have a sport where the best compete against the best it will only raise the skill level and elitism of the sport. Boxers today are sheltered for 95% of their career and even when they become champion of the world they only occasionally fight the truly elite guys, you literally have world champions fighting part time taxi drivers regularly, that can only lead to a drop in skill overall in the sport
Neither is MMA. I've been watching boxing since 1985 and MMA since first televised event. It's the same shit man. They're both in the absolute goofy talk your way to a title social media goof stage.
Chael I’m in sales and I must say from the bottom of my heart, that I listen to your channel for two reason. 1. Fighting 2. How to communicate and sell a thought/idea so effectively that it is reality Godspeed Sonnen … Undisputed, and undefeated.
We all know why Francis dominated that fight. 4 reasons. 1. The Ridge Wallet was keeping his cash secure, so he had a clear head in the ring. 2. Magic Spoon Cereal gave him a big energy boost. 3. Manscape helped him cut some weight and kept him moving fast. 4. The most important reason; he got his real training from Uncle Chael which allowed him to dominate the clinch and send Fury to the ground. The very same technique that Uncle Chael used break Jon Jones toe, after which Lord Chael felt bad and allowed Jon to borrow his one of his many Championship Belts. Undefeated. Undisputed. Never Lost a Round.

@@devoniousmaximus533 I agree wid dis, but as I just said the UFC judges won’t be needed because if a boxers tries to fight a MMA fighter in the octagon he’ll be finished for sure
Ngannou sent Overeem’s head into orbit, does that mean Dutch Kickboxing is shit? No. Ngannou is a special human and Tyson Fury is as overrated as he is unpleasant to look at topless.
Chael I think the point everyone is missing is that "Francis" is naturally talented. He went to MMA so late and won, and now he boxed and knocked-down Fury while giving a splendid performance. I think it's not about the stuff you're talking about, those rules apply to all normal humans. Meanwhile Francis is naturally gifted just like Jones. I bet if Francis was trained like Jones, he'd have defeated not only Jones but also humiliated Fury too, that's how talented Francis is. He's an outlier and deserves all the respect. Conor wasn't even close to what Francis has done without proper training.
@@blackpalacemusic I don't know man. The way Francis ran through all heavyweights, it made them all look average meanwhile Francis had no MMA background too. He was a quick learner like Jones I think.
It's corrupt to the core. They get a young Mayweather or a young Fury and have them fight professional cans. Boxers who are 3-46 or have a 6-112 record. They then beat can after can until that young Fury is 20-0 and they build his name up enough to where he starts making millions of dollars and fights halfway legitimate boxers. Then all of the young undefeated guys who have fought nothing but cans end up meeting and having mega fights. That's when you have an undefeated Wilder vs an undefeated Fury. It was probably the first or at least one of the first true boxing matches that either one had. That's modern boxing
@@RonniePTexanLOL dude you are just pulling numbers out of your ass. They do build boxers on softer competition as they are coming up but not no 6-112 dudes, what are you talking about lol now Tyson Fury's brother Tommy fury is a guy who fought tons of guys with negative records but he is far from a great boxer
Francis advantage was his strong legs.. Wilder has skinny legs so Fury wore him down holding him up. Fury just feints, throws and wears the opponent down clinching and leaning on them... Francis kept his shoulder between them and created space... his MMA brought a different dimension of experience to Fury, and threw off his game.
Yeah, Tyson is a lard butt and leans himself on people. Just like a Klitchko. Which is illegal and repeatedly done. A point should be taken. It ruins the complete fight. I'm happy for Ngannou.
Story for yas...in my youth I boxed amateur for 10 years starting at age 7. I coached for a couple years after and got into karate. I tested for my purple belt and one of the instructor judges noticed my hands during the spar component and invited me up to instruct his black belts who were a traveling full contact competitive crew. I agreed and he made each one spar me with no kicks, only hands, full on Go! Long story short it didn't go well for adult men who had been told they were the most dangerous humans on the planet and some 19 year old kid came in and cleaned house...badly. shockingly. Even I couldn't believe it. It was so bad that they refused to allow their main instructor to have me back. Humility is sometimes a very hard pill to swallow. I'm no tough guy. Hell now I'm the old guy once again teaching the young kids and my youth has long passed. My point here is, you have to be well rounded this day and age. No longer can you rely on things like kicks only. You never really could when it comes right down to it. Boxing will always have its place but must be fortified with other skills. Had those fellas been able to use those legs that night it very well could have ended differently. Just thought I'd share an old dudes hayday story.
Exactly! Being well rounded in all areas is key. But I still believe even the best mma guys, when you have to compete against the best in just one discipline, they lose. Jake Paul has proven that with boxing vs MMA fighters. Gordan Ryan would do the same in jujitsu. “A jack of all trades but a master of none, but often times it’s better then a master of one”.
It's not the same if they can't kick but in reality what would happen especially if you was in a bar with no rules? You definitely would of wanted to know more about what the body can do and take
@@anthonyanderson9303 Jake Paul is not a boxer. He handpicks his opponents to make the headlines and it's a cash grab for both individuals. MMA fighters who accepted his challenge didn't get there to win, but make easy money. I assume minimum training and passion. You just can't be real human but an NPC if you take his fights seriously.
Francis surprised us all. Don’t think people gave him enough credit for how big strong & athletic he is. How discipline he is. I owe him an apology. Once in a lifetime athlete. Freak of nature. He believed in himself when no one else did.
Nobody will deny Ngannou is a unique athlete with freak genetics... but it's purely logical to think that it was virtually impossible for him to train up to the level of champion that has trained most of his life as a boxer. I think the real question is; is HW in boxing overrated?
@@MickayG Heavyweight boxing's draw was never necessarily the talent or skill between the opponents (even though there have been countless amazingly talented, skilled heavyweights), but rather seeing two big individuals fight each other. The heavyweight division has always been the biggest monetary pull
Thank you uncle chael. It really is a load of bollocks, the best fighters 95% of the time don’t even manage to fight their equals during their careers. Padded records to make it look flashy, it shouldn’t have taken wilder 45+ fights to finally fight a good pro in Ortiz. Then he went straight onto fury and has made his name off a draw and two losses, done nothing since. It’s heavyweight boxing that’s the issue, that’s why I respect Usyk for coming up as an undisputed and getting on with his fights so can fight for another undisputed but Luke fury been running for nearly 2 years now
Many pro boxers, even some of the bigger guys like multi division world champs said they were shocked by Ngannou's poise and boxing skill. Lennox Lewis conceded that many of the top 10 Heavyweights would have won that night vs Fury. How wild of a fight was that.
@@rakiestFury knew he was in trouble early. He didn't train, so he wouldn't have the stamina to make Francis look foolish. But he chose his spots and won 7 rounds. Against almost any top 10 fighter he would have lost.
Yeah Floyd was never hurt and his plan was to just gas Conor out and it worked also Conor had reported brain damage from that fight lol completely different
Franicis Ngannou might not only be a freakish athlete, He might also be a freakishly intelligent fighter. Look at his life trajectory, he's a clearly a super driven, focused and smart man. He seems well spoken, respectful and direct in interviews. He speaks 3 languages, conducts interviews competently in English without a translator even though he hasn’t been speaking the language for very long. Pretty incredible considering his life story.
Undefeated records in boxing mean too much to people within the sport. I love the saying “if you’ve never lost a fight you’ve never fought anyone worth fighting”…that should be etched onto the canvas of every boxing ring.
Connor did NOT "beat up" Mayweather. What Francis accomplished trumps what Connor did because EVERYONE knew that Floyd allowed Connor to come to him before he decided to put him out. Connor put up a good show and did a good job, but he didn't come off as a threat to Floyd in that fight. Francis on the other hand looked like a dangerous boxer that could become champion. I think we will see more MMA fighters attempt to do boxing.
Nobody can beat mayweather. He's the GOAT. I'd be saying similar about Fury if Francis hadn't arguably beat Fury. Francis is in better shape than every heavyweight boxer. I think he can make a good boxing career.
Deluded if you think Tyson even put in 50% effort into this fight.The whole thing was scripted from the start, all robbed of your PPV, one big money maker that's all it was. Like watching WWF.
I was going to comment this exact thing. Floyd was 40, Conner was 29. Floyd carried Conner then put it on him in the 9th and 10th round to get the technical KO.
It's really mind blowing to me....that not one person has credited Francis's intelligence in that fight. He out fought the guy who was technically the GOAT. You don't do that without a level of brilliance.
I think we have to also recognize, his teacher... I think Mike Tyson has found the perfect disciple to pass on his knowledge too... Man just learned years of boxing from one of the greatest fighters in human history.
I did. He went South paw for three rounds, and then the last three rounds of the fight, he went back to Orthodox, and started dominating again. He only switched to southpaw to frustrate fury.
There's a difference between boxing as a sport and boxing as a business-and for thr longest time, the business has been running the sport and driving it into the dirt. They've been getting away with it for a long time, so I'm glad that people are stirring an uproar.
If you watch the right people boxing as a sport is incredible. The attention to the smallest of detail is amazing when you know what you’re looking at but yes as a business it’s a bit messed up but that’s because boxers have more freedoms and say in their careers, MMA fighters have little to no say especially in the UFC. Look at the MW division, how DDP isn’t getting a shot at the belt is disgusting but Chimiev is and why? Because business will pollute combat sports regardless
I agree, but people need to stop acting like this is a new or surprising development. Boxing as a monetized sport basically just started as bums being paid to knock eachother out as violently and cheaply as possibly. Boxing didn't start as some kind of admirable, proud institution and get corrupted, it was just people giving eachother brain damage for money. The fact that it's now much more efficiently monetized is not a bug, it's a feature. The fact that boxers can probably make more money by not fighting the toughest fights is probably more common now, but it's not entirely new. The classic era everyone looks back on had its own share of similar problems. Things might seem especially bad now, but there's not really any reason why boxing shouldn't be this way. The fact that fighters can make more of the money in the sport or they can take longer breaks from fights is inarguably a good development for their health. If you care about boxing as a sport, you're kind of shit out of luck, because that's not what it primarily is. It's entertainment.
Francis is the prime example of what a man can accomplish with hard work and self belief the man has a heart of gold You guys the mf shoveled sand in a mine for years manual labor has made him so Fukkin huge
@@DimmuBehemothKickass Yeah bro, because we've seen it a 100x times and it never turns out like this. Only casuals think a MMA champion will step into a boxing match with the boxing champ and win. Francis is an outlier.
@@NoNameGiven-dw3cu yeah, I doubt that. He's always been amazing at quick fire off the cuff. The best ever actually. Makes Connie Mac look like Tito Ortiz.
I think you very correct about your assessments Sir. I have experienced it. I only train on Sundays for about a year and 5hen stopped for some two years. I went back and train with someone for a week and he's been in boxing for 15yrs. We sparred and I gave him a red eye that lasted for days and almost knocked him down. Of course he hit me well too and my nose let out some blood, but the fact I shook him made him be careful. It reminded me of the Francis vs Fury fight.
Reverse the roles. If you had trained for 15 years and you both sparred, would the outcome be the same? Natural talent exists - its what seperates shit professionals from great ones, not the sport itself.
Don't hate boxing as a sport. Just hate the corruption that pervades all aspects of our life. Big money and politics rule everything. Smh it's really sad tbh
Chael acts like Francis is just some soccer dad… you have to take into consideration that he is a genetic freak and even though he hasn’t always been a boxer, he’s been boxing in the ufc and also that he was being trained by Mike Tyson, arguable the best underdog and heavy weight champion. Those things play a big factor, it’s not just some Joe Schmo off the side of the street. That’s like mayweather and McGregor.. the difference between good and great is very small and also the mindset that you can’t account for
Everyone hails Francis’ physical power but his mental is 10x stronger. He’s an intelligent gentleman who is both patient and kind. A true well rounded warrior.
You totally missed Chael's point. Imagine this, a physical specimen, all the heart and determination in the world, all the drive imaginable, but that person never played basketball before. Now ask yourself would Lebron James beat this person in a basketball game? Basketball is an actual sport, so Lebron James would beat this person who never played and it wouldn't matter how much drive, determination, heart etc they had. Lebron James would utterly dominate them and the score would be 100-0.
I’ve been a huge boxing fan most of my 48 years of life and Roy Jones is my favorite fighter, because of how special he was as an athlete, but when Renzo Gracie was offering Roy a million for every minute he lasted in the cage with Renzo, I knew that Roy could not win that fight. Love boxing for what it is. It’s an art and yes, some special athletes can learn enough in a short period of time to step in and give the very best a great fight and even win.
I grewbup with a few boxers in my home town and they hit their assets kicked by us wrestlers every time they wanted it. Boxing used to be fun to watch, it was never a tough guy thing, it was entertaining and gave us a reason to dress up and go to a fight with our crews. MMA is where you find your tough guys and master fighters and it's bloody and gory.
@@tg3902Danny Greens bum ass could never do that to a prime Jones. By that time there wasn't a decent fighter who couldn't KO Jones, Jon's was beyond shot, and by that time his punch resistance was that of wet toilet paper. So that is no accomplishment and no knock on Jones.
Exactly The difference is MMA is an art, and boxing is a "science". MMA is chess, and boxing is checkers. To be beat by a child prodigy in chess is understandable because it's much more of a complex game. But to be beat by a child prodigy in CHECKERS is so much more embarrassing because the rules and possible outcomes are so much easier to see and predict. It's like letting your kids beat you at tic tac toe. 😂😂😂
Conor boxed when he was a teenager. Chael probably doesn't know. And mayweather schooled him. The fight wasn't close. Mayweather didn't once attempt to box how he would against a legitimate opponent. He walked forward like a Mexican. Tyson is a heavy weight and so is francis. Tyson had a bad night. He didn't box well. Francis was much better than expected and he was able to land. He isn't a normal man. Chael is acting like he is. He hits like a truck nd fury got hit. It changed the fight. Boxing is real . Francis is a monster. I boxed since i was a kid . Some people are naturals and have god given gifts. Francis is one of them.
This is an interesting take for sure. I think one definitely has to consider what youre sayin based off the recent big time fights in boxing, but when I think about what would happen between a boxing champion and someone who has legitimately never stepped into any type of martial arts gym before, the inexperienced person would without a doubt get smoked badly. That being considered, I think the best way to decide the legitimacy of a sport is to base it off what factors make up the sport, how long all these factors take to learn, and how far do they separate you from the competition when you learn them. Taking BJJ and boxing for example, it might take someone 5-10 years to be able to compete with the highest BJJ competition, but it might take that same person 1-5 years to be able to compete with the highest level boxers. So it might not be that boxing is not a legitimate sport but rather people can close the skill gap faster than previously thought because boxing is limited in how many factors are present with a ruleset only allowing the use of your hands. Perhaps athleticism can take over more at the highest levels because it takes less time to get to that level for athletes trying to get there. But boxing is still definitely effective and shouldnt be taken as joke. Its probably the most focused skill set of any martial art but because of that its skillset can learned quicker than the rest.
as if UFC is some honest sport lol, less money, has plenty of dodge decisions, Mcgregor can get a title shot anytime he wants, all he needs is to get off coke
Sonnen, somehow, watched a 40-year-old Mayweather who hadn't fought in 2 years and who came into the fight admitting to half-assing his preparation, who absorbed a grand total of 3 clean punches over the course of the fight, and who won the match via stoppage, and concluded that the other guy, the one who landed but 3 punches before himself getting stopped, beat Mayweather up. Thus, his (Sonnen's) judgement is now officially suspect. *You have to understand how it breaks my heart to say that.*
Conor shouldn't have lasted as long as he did though. And we both agree that "Pretty boy Floyd" would of merked Conor in a couple of rounds. But the point stands that MMA and boxing are still 2 separate sports and picking arguably the best boxer in the world to go against in your debut is a massive feat.
@@uncircumcisedcircusFloyd carried that man for the sake of making more money 😂 the kids that box in Floyd’s gym would dog walk Connor in a few rounds. This is coming from a Conor fan. The person who said Chael is trolling is absolutely correct 😂
Watching Francis beat up Fury was like watching Strickland beat up Izzy. If we told you what was about the happen before the fight, everyone would've laughed until people witness exactly that.
I'm an MMA man but there's not many people who get hit by Francis and get up. Tyson Fury is the first person to say yes to a competition with Francis, where you can only stop him punching you by either punching him back, cuddling him or running away. A few years down the line we might look back on this and think, Tyson did really well to go 10 rounds?
Heavyweights anything can happen, someone like Terance Crawford would smoke every 135 145 155 and 170 in a boxing ring within 6 rounds after getting brutally beat for majority of them
I’ve been saying this for years. It’s all about who’s the better athlete and who’s more prepared for that night. Athleticism in freak territory can trump technique. And the best have both in mainstream sports. Football and basketball and to an extent wrestling and baseball have the best athletes this country can offer because of the money. Followed by fighting, than all the other sports are far behind. But, I think to be a true pro or a true college wrestler u need to have years of training under you. I think with good athletes the striking from mma just Carries over better for them
CORRECTION: Ngannou and Fury both weighed in at somewhere in the 270s. The weight difference was negligible. The difference was Ngannou was a dense wall of muscle and Fury was ball of pudgy fat
Tyson Fury, for me has been an extremely unique athlete. I didn't like him at first and didnt want him to beat klichko. I became a fan of his when he did and now has lost my respect for not owning up to the loss. Francis Balboa won the fight
@dannyzuko7182 cant call it a flash knockdown when fancis controlled most of the fight, and showed the least amount of damage. Also in rocky they were both beat up at the end of the fight. Not this one
To be fair Bo Nickal did pretty damn good vs Gordon Ryan with no JJ experience outside of post PSU mma training. Yes the rules were skewed in Bo’s favor and he ultimately lost but he was very competitive up to that point.
I never believed in boxing because of how much money it brings in (and the purses it pays out) and how many organizations are involved - that’s a formula for corruption.
@@Assman85 whatever the excuse it falls on furys shoulders, if someone isnt trained enough to get out alive from a lion cage, its the man problem not his mother's to not provide him enough food to manhandle the lion
By saying all this you are denying the talent and natural brilliance of Ngannou. He was world champion in UFC after a very short time and as a late comer. He’s extremely powerful, athletic and fast. He has incredible natural strength and is just probably a natural genius at fighting. He’s a rare specimen.
The gist of it is that you couldn't just take a great athlete who had never done it before, walk them into a wrestling or BJJ match with the top guys, and get close to winning. The supposition could be that perhaps Tyson Fury is just not very good. Maybe he's propped up. Or maybe boxing as a discipline is bogus. Or maybe boxing as a sport is rigged.
@@jty9631 yeah I get it. The alternative is that Francis isn’t just a good athlete. He’s a naturally gifted fighter. Perhaps Fury is that good but Francis is highly gifted. Also, he’s not say an Olympic sprinter or shot putter with no experience, he’s a world class champion combat athlete. The alternative is this: being a mixed martial artist requires much more of an understanding of body mechanics overall than boxing. It probably also requires more sophisticated thinking since there are so many more possible alternatives to attack and be attacked that one must be aware of. Imagine a guitarist who has trained to play like a virtuoso. He’s learned many scales on the neck and many more techniques than someone who has just, for example, learned to play blues. Now put him on stage playing a blues song next to a guy who just plays the blues. He’s confined now by the genre of music, but because he has soooo much more overall skill under his belt, he can still blow a great blues guitarist of stage with his performance. Something like that. It would be unfair to say “well blues is just fake guitar playing, because the other guy doesn’t usually play blues and he kicked his ass!” No. The other guy is just so technically proficient at the whole guitar neck, he can sit in and play with anyone in that genre or any genre and make them look bad. Saying blues is fake takes so much more away from that player.
I agree with what you're saying about the level of athletes in combat sports. Yeah there are some very talented people in the sport, but they generally don't approach the level of freak you see in football or basketball. My theory on it all is a hybrid of what you're proposing and the general consensus. Boxing like MMA is legitimate, HOWEVER because the big money is perceived to be in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, the odds of getting the same level of athlete in those sports is lower. Hence, there will occasionally be a guy like Francis who finds his way into combat sports who is able to really capitalize on his athleticism. I've stated for years that if LeBron had chosen MMA or Boxing as a kid, he would likely be an undefeated superstar HW champ. Same goes for any number of guys from big league sports. Doesn't mean the sport is necessarily illegitimate, just that you don't have the same talent pool, though in the case of boxing the problem is compounded by widespread corruption.
And this is why MMA fans are considered.... To talk about the Floyd Connor fight as if it was competitive or floyd was losing is disingenuous. Floyd was bringing Connor along like he did with Logan. He was smiling and joking whole fight he was the heavy favorite and was only trying to give the people a show because that's all it was a money grab. Floyd carried Connor to later rounds for the fans and KOed him. Chael is trolling he's too smart to believe this nonsense but he knows his MMA fanbase are all....
I am studying boxing again at 55 and use it in MT fights often to win and I even used it on the street a month ago with a drunk guy mouthing off and one cross and that was all over. I have a blue belt in bjj and have used it twice to shut down fights, but stayed on my feet and got tired of studying every possible sleeve grip by the Gracies after four years. Boxing is brutal and works well.
Thanks to Anthony Joshua for saving boxing by KTFO Francis Ngannou and sending him to the shadow realm. Ngannou will never be the same. I am an MMA fan, BTW so no bias.
@squealerpig8451 no. Wing Chin and the majority of Chinese martial arts aren’t useful. I love the way Wing Chun looks and plays out but it’s definitely not worth investing time in learning if you want to be a legitimate fighter.
By these metrics UFC would also be considered a fake sport after Brock Lesnar came in and started beating guys that were training their whole life for MMA, no?
Francis been training in boxing for 10 years...Brock Lesnar become UFC champion his 3 Rd fight coming from WWE does that make MMA fake? Bj Penn become a world champion in bjj in 3 years does that make BJJ fake?
Francis is a freak of nature and basically a unicorn in combat sports. I recall someone by the name of Brock Lesnar coming into the UFC and gaining the heavyweight title with only WWE experience, so it works probably in any sports, not just boxing. Boxing doesn't suck, just some people are freaks of nature and can take on even the most experienced fighters.
"only wwe experience". No bro it wasn't his years of fake wrassling.... He was an NCAA all American and national champion. High school and college wrestling. WWE 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The difference is MMA is an art, and boxing is a "science". MMA is chess, and boxing is checkers. To be beat by a child prodigy in chess is understandable because it's much more of a complex game. But to be beat by a child prodigy in CHECKERS is so much more embarrassing because the rules and possible outcomes are so much easier to see. It's like letting your kids beat you at tik tac toe. 😂😂😂
Bad decisions happen all the time in MMA and we don't say MMA is fake because of that. I personally had Fury winning 7 rounds to 3, with of course the one 10-8 round for Francis. It wasn't an impressive victory for Fury, but he won clearly in my opinion, as a 53 yr old lifelong fight fan
We all need to realize that Chael has been indirectly telling us he is being paid to make all these boxing vids... That means someone cares enough to pay money to get eyes on the subject and likely has plans for a future fight and wants to set up a rematch.
Obviously. Francis' stock is done in his next boxing match. He had everything in his favor to pull off the upset and didn't. No boxer takes him lightly again.
There’s gotta be something to us, the loyal fan base of Uncle Chael, that we’re able to, and often consensually willing to, get gaslighted to on a regular basis. That is all. Keep it up, Champ. Undefeated and Undisputed.
This video did not age well. Fight sports have this meta game component which is the analysis and preparation tailored for an opponent. Clearly Fury did not prepare while Francis did prepare for Fury. Now that Francis has actual video footage of him boxing and has proven himself no slouch, he may never win a boxing match again against an elite. There are too many obvious holes in his game, exploits, tendencies.
There is another great wrestler who became a great stryker. He became such a good stryker that he beat the brakes off of Anderson Silva for 5 rounds once. That man's name is Chael Sonnen.

1. Fighting
2. How to communicate and sell a thought/idea so effectively that it is reality
Godspeed Sonnen …
Undisputed, and undefeated.
Never lost a round.
telling his audience what THEY think, feel and know without any way of being corrected helps with the spin
Chael could sell ice to an eskimo.
He never lost a round except the round where Anderson silva submitted him via triangle choke lol
Me too!
We all know why Francis dominated that fight. 4 reasons.
1. The Ridge Wallet was keeping his cash secure, so he had a clear head in the ring.
2. Magic Spoon Cereal gave him a big energy boost.
3. Manscape helped him cut some weight and kept him moving fast.
4. The most important reason; he got his real training from Uncle Chael which allowed him to dominate the clinch and send Fury to the ground.

Ngannou sent Overeem’s head into orbit, does that mean Dutch Kickboxing is shit? No. Ngannou is a special human and Tyson Fury is as overrated as he is unpleasant to look at topless.
Chael I think the point everyone is missing is that "Francis" is naturally talented. He went to MMA so late and won, and now he boxed and knocked-down Fury while giving a splendid performance. I think it's not about the stuff you're talking about, those rules apply to all normal humans. Meanwhile Francis is naturally gifted just like Jones. I bet if Francis was trained like Jones, he'd have defeated not only Jones but also humiliated Fury too, that's how talented Francis is. He's an outlier and deserves all the respect. Conor wasn't even close to what Francis has done without proper training.
Jon wasn't even the best in his own family
I doubt anyone can make it to be a champion without being naturally gifted.

Boxing is a beautiful art. Modern day boxers ducking the best competition is what got them to this point.
It's corrupt to the core. They get a young Mayweather or a young Fury and have them fight professional cans. Boxers who are 3-46 or have a 6-112 record. They then beat can after can until that young Fury is 20-0 and they build his name up enough to where he starts making millions of dollars and fights halfway legitimate boxers. Then all of the young undefeated guys who have fought nothing but cans end up meeting and having mega fights. That's when you have an undefeated Wilder vs an undefeated Fury. It was probably the first or at least one of the first true boxing matches that either one had. That's modern boxing
@@RonniePTexanLOL dude you are just pulling numbers out of your ass. They do build boxers on softer competition as they are coming up but not no 6-112 dudes, what are you talking about lol now Tyson Fury's brother Tommy fury is a guy who fought tons of guys with negative records but he is far from a great boxer
It's a beautiful illusion. Business disguised as sport, and the billions keep flowing. Amazing
@@RonniePTexan rigged like a mofo - not for sport, but for money
Francis advantage was his strong legs.. Wilder has skinny legs so Fury wore him down holding him up. Fury just feints, throws and wears the opponent down clinching and leaning on them... Francis kept his shoulder between them and created space... his MMA brought a different dimension of experience to Fury, and threw off his game.
His biggest advantage was being criminally overlooked
Exactly, that Greco Roman grappling is what set his advantage
Bone jones has small legs
Yeah, Tyson is a lard butt and leans himself on people. Just like a Klitchko. Which is illegal and repeatedly done. A point should be taken. It ruins the complete fight.
I'm happy for Ngannou.
Fury's smothering tactics made redundant.
Story for yas...in my youth I boxed amateur for 10 years starting at age 7. I coached for a couple years after and got into karate. I tested for my purple belt and one of the instructor judges noticed my hands during the spar component and invited me up to instruct his black belts who were a traveling full contact competitive crew. I agreed and he made each one spar me with no kicks, only hands, full on Go! Long story short it didn't go well for adult men who had been told they were the most dangerous humans on the planet and some 19 year old kid came in and cleaned house...badly. shockingly. Even I couldn't believe it. It was so bad that they refused to allow their main instructor to have me back. Humility is sometimes a very hard pill to swallow. I'm no tough guy. Hell now I'm the old guy once again teaching the young kids and my youth has long passed. My point here is, you have to be well rounded this day and age. No longer can you rely on things like kicks only. You never really could when it comes right down to it. Boxing will always have its place but must be fortified with other skills. Had those fellas been able to use those legs that night it very well could have ended differently. Just thought I'd share an old dudes hayday story.
Exactly! Being well rounded in all areas is key. But I still believe even the best mma guys, when you have to compete against the best in just one discipline, they lose. Jake Paul has proven that with boxing vs MMA fighters. Gordan Ryan would do the same in jujitsu. “A jack of all trades but a master of none, but often times it’s better then a master of one”.
It's not the same if they can't kick but in reality what would happen especially if you was in a bar with no rules? You definitely would of wanted to know more about what the body can do and take
@@ericmoore8739I wouldn't really use Jake Paul matches as an example.
@gamesps9562 why? It was mma guys trying boxing and got knocked out by a RUclipsr.
@@anthonyanderson9303 Jake Paul is not a boxer. He handpicks his opponents to make the headlines and it's a cash grab for both individuals. MMA fighters who accepted his challenge didn't get there to win, but make easy money. I assume minimum training and passion. You just can't be real human but an NPC if you take his fights seriously.
Francis surprised us all. Don’t think people gave him enough credit for how big strong & athletic he is. How discipline he is. I owe him an apology. Once in a lifetime athlete. Freak of nature. He believed in himself when no one else did.
Nobody will deny Ngannou is a unique athlete with freak genetics... but it's purely logical to think that it was virtually impossible for him to train up to the level of champion that has trained most of his life as a boxer. I think the real question is; is HW in boxing overrated?
@@MickayG Heavyweight boxing's draw was never necessarily the talent or skill between the opponents (even though there have been countless amazingly talented, skilled heavyweights), but rather seeing two big individuals fight each other. The heavyweight division has always been the biggest monetary pull

Thank you uncle chael. It really is a load of bollocks, the best fighters 95% of the time don’t even manage to fight their equals during their careers. Padded records to make it look flashy, it shouldn’t have taken wilder 45+ fights to finally fight a good pro in Ortiz. Then he went straight onto fury and has made his name off a draw and two losses, done nothing since. It’s heavyweight boxing that’s the issue, that’s why I respect Usyk for coming up as an undisputed and getting on with his fights so can fight for another undisputed but Luke fury been running for nearly 2 years now

@@JayLee-od8ob The 50 are spectacularly wom by Iron Mike.
Many pro boxers, even some of the bigger guys like multi division world champs said they were shocked by Ngannou's poise and boxing skill. Lennox Lewis conceded that many of the top 10 Heavyweights would have won that night vs Fury.
How wild of a fight was that.
@@rakiestFury knew he was in trouble early. He didn't train, so he wouldn't have the stamina to make Francis look foolish. But he chose his spots and won 7 rounds. Against almost any top 10 fighter he would have lost.
Floyd beat Conor without even doing the philly shell once. Francis vs Fury was completely different.
Yeah Floyd was never hurt and his plan was to just gas Conor out and it worked also Conor had reported brain damage from that fight lol completely different
yes heavier weights tend to be easier in most combat sports.
Floyd’s plan was to make as much money as possible and carry Conor late into the fight was him doing that.
floyd beat the shit out of mcgregor and took like a handful of good shots early while being like half his size and really old lol
Franicis Ngannou might not only be a freakish athlete, He might also be a freakishly intelligent fighter. Look at his life trajectory, he's a clearly a super driven, focused and smart man. He seems well spoken, respectful and direct in interviews. He speaks 3 languages, conducts interviews competently in English without a translator even though he hasn’t been speaking the language for very long. Pretty incredible considering his life story.
Undefeated records in boxing mean too much to people within the sport. I love the saying “if you’ve never lost a fight you’ve never fought anyone worth fighting”…that should be etched onto the canvas of every boxing ring.
I'm a boxer and I agree with you.
@@nativeamericancowboy5028 youre not a boxer
@@flyguy1827 ok
Connor did NOT "beat up" Mayweather. What Francis accomplished trumps what Connor did because EVERYONE knew that Floyd allowed Connor to come to him before he decided to put him out. Connor put up a good show and did a good job, but he didn't come off as a threat to Floyd in that fight. Francis on the other hand looked like a dangerous boxer that could become champion. I think we will see more MMA fighters attempt to do boxing.
Nobody can beat mayweather. He's the GOAT. I'd be saying similar about Fury if Francis hadn't arguably beat Fury. Francis is in better shape than every heavyweight boxer. I think he can make a good boxing career.
Deluded if you think Tyson even put in 50% effort into this fight.The whole thing was scripted from the start, all robbed of your PPV, one big money maker that's all it was. Like watching WWF.
I was going to comment this exact thing. Floyd was 40, Conner was 29. Floyd carried Conner then put it on him in the 9th and 10th round to get the technical KO.
Yea Floyd whooped connor Francis beat Tyson way different
Connor was landing almost at will in the early rounds and you can make any excuse you want but that was not in the game plan
It's really mind blowing to me....that not one person has credited Francis's intelligence in that fight.
He out fought the guy who was technically the GOAT.
You don't do that without a level of brilliance.
And crazy strength and conditioning
I think we have to also recognize, his teacher... I think Mike Tyson has found the perfect disciple to pass on his knowledge too... Man just learned years of boxing from one of the greatest fighters in human history.
I did. He went South paw for three rounds, and then the last three rounds of the fight, he went back to Orthodox, and started dominating again. He only switched to southpaw to frustrate fury.
Dream on. He has gorilla strength nothing more.
Fury looked awful in that fight and its not the first tims that happened and he got a dodgy decision
There's a difference between boxing as a sport and boxing as a business-and for thr longest time, the business has been running the sport and driving it into the dirt.
They've been getting away with it for a long time, so I'm glad that people are stirring an uproar.
If you watch the right people boxing as a sport is incredible. The attention to the smallest of detail is amazing when you know what you’re looking at but yes as a business it’s a bit messed up but that’s because boxers have more freedoms and say in their careers, MMA fighters have little to no say especially in the UFC. Look at the MW division, how DDP isn’t getting a shot at the belt is disgusting but Chimiev is and why? Because business will pollute combat sports regardless
You know I would bet you anything that people wouldn't be saying nothing if Francis would have won or if Tyson fury was black and Francis was white.
@@jaysmith2151tf are you talking about lol
Boxing has been a business since the 1800s! That's the sweet science of it now.
I agree, but people need to stop acting like this is a new or surprising development. Boxing as a monetized sport basically just started as bums being paid to knock eachother out as violently and cheaply as possibly.
Boxing didn't start as some kind of admirable, proud institution and get corrupted, it was just people giving eachother brain damage for money. The fact that it's now much more efficiently monetized is not a bug, it's a feature. The fact that boxers can probably make more money by not fighting the toughest fights is probably more common now, but it's not entirely new.
The classic era everyone looks back on had its own share of similar problems. Things might seem especially bad now, but there's not really any reason why boxing shouldn't be this way. The fact that fighters can make more of the money in the sport or they can take longer breaks from fights is inarguably a good development for their health.
If you care about boxing as a sport, you're kind of shit out of luck, because that's not what it primarily is. It's entertainment.

I went back and train with someone for a week and he's been in boxing for 15yrs. We sparred and I gave him a red eye that lasted for days and almost knocked him down.
Of course he hit me well too and my nose let out some blood, but the fact I shook him made him be careful. It reminded me of the Francis vs Fury fight.
Reverse the roles. If you had trained for 15 years and you both sparred, would the outcome be the same? Natural talent exists - its what seperates shit professionals from great ones, not the sport itself.

Chael acts like Francis is just some soccer dad… you have to take into consideration that he is a genetic freak and even though he hasn’t always been a boxer, he’s been boxing in the ufc and also that he was being trained by Mike Tyson, arguable the best underdog and heavy weight champion. Those things play a big factor, it’s not just some Joe Schmo off the side of the street.

Love boxing for what it is. It’s an art and yes, some special athletes can learn enough in a short period of time to step in and give the very best a great fight and even win.
Yeahhe was awesome when he wss smshed by Aussie Danny Green in the 1st round😅😅😅
I grewbup with a few boxers in my home town and they hit their assets kicked by us wrestlers every time they wanted it. Boxing used to be fun to watch, it was never a tough guy thing, it was entertaining and gave us a reason to dress up and go to a fight with our crews. MMA is where you find your tough guys and master fighters and it's bloody and gory.
@@tg3902Danny Greens bum ass could never do that to a prime Jones. By that time there wasn't a decent fighter who couldn't KO Jones, Jon's was beyond shot, and by that time his punch resistance was that of wet toilet paper. So that is no accomplishment and no knock on Jones.
Who in TANK DAVIS' weight class from MMA do you think will have the same outcome as Francis or McWeightBully
If you aren’t dodging kicks, elbows, and take downs, fighting becomes a lot easier
Exactly
The difference is MMA is an art, and boxing is a "science". MMA is chess, and boxing is checkers.
To be beat by a child prodigy in chess is understandable because it's much more of a complex game. But to be beat by a child prodigy in CHECKERS is so much more embarrassing because the rules and possible outcomes are so much easier to see and predict. It's like letting your kids beat you at tic tac toe. 😂😂😂
Conor boxed when he was a teenager. Chael probably doesn't know. And mayweather schooled him. The fight wasn't close. Mayweather didn't once attempt to box how he would against a legitimate opponent. He walked forward like a Mexican.
Tyson is a heavy weight and so is francis. Tyson had a bad night. He didn't box well. Francis was much better than expected and he was able to land. He isn't a normal man. Chael is acting like he is. He hits like a truck nd fury got hit. It changed the fight. Boxing is real . Francis is a monster. I boxed since i was a kid . Some people are naturals and have god given gifts. Francis is one of them.
This is an interesting take for sure. I think one definitely has to consider what youre sayin based off the recent big time fights in boxing, but when I think about what would happen between a boxing champion and someone who has legitimately never stepped into any type of martial arts gym before, the inexperienced person would without a doubt get smoked badly. That being considered, I think the best way to decide the legitimacy of a sport is to base it off what factors make up the sport, how long all these factors take to learn, and how far do they separate you from the competition when you learn them. Taking BJJ and boxing for example, it might take someone 5-10 years to be able to compete with the highest BJJ competition, but it might take that same person 1-5 years to be able to compete with the highest level boxers. So it might not be that boxing is not a legitimate sport but rather people can close the skill gap faster than previously thought because boxing is limited in how many factors are present with a ruleset only allowing the use of your hands. Perhaps athleticism can take over more at the highest levels because it takes less time to get to that level for athletes trying to get there. But boxing is still definitely effective and shouldnt be taken as joke. Its probably the most focused skill set of any martial art but because of that its skillset can learned quicker than the rest.
I am so glad Chael is sticking it to boxing and making everybody realize that it literally is like the WWE.💪

Uncle chael went undefeated while having the striking skills of my arthritis struck great grandma. Goat
7:07 for the legs cross ladies and gentlemen
Short memory. When a WWE guy with no experience in MMA came to the UFC and took their heavyweight belt Did the UFC suck too.
Sonnen, somehow, watched a 40-year-old Mayweather who hadn't fought in 2 years and who came into the fight admitting to half-assing his preparation, who absorbed a grand total of 3 clean punches over the course of the fight, and who won the match via stoppage, and concluded that the other guy, the one who landed but 3 punches before himself getting stopped, beat Mayweather up.
Thus, his (Sonnen's) judgement is now officially suspect. *You have to understand how it breaks my heart to say that.*
He is trolling mate. You are supposed to over look this as a Sonnen fan and cheer uncle chale on in his correctness.
Conor shouldn't have lasted as long as he did though. And we both agree that "Pretty boy Floyd" would of merked Conor in a couple of rounds. But the point stands that MMA and boxing are still 2 separate sports and picking arguably the best boxer in the world to go against in your debut is a massive feat.
How dare you. lol!

Watching Francis beat up Fury was like watching Strickland beat up Izzy. If we told you what was about the happen before the fight, everyone would've laughed until people witness exactly that.
I'm an MMA man but there's not many people who get hit by Francis and get up.
Tyson Fury is the first person to say yes to a competition with Francis, where you can only stop him punching you by either punching him back, cuddling him or running away.
A few years down the line we might look back on this and think, Tyson did really well to go 10 rounds?

Heavyweights anything can happen, someone like Terance Crawford would smoke every 135 145 155 and 170 in a boxing ring within 6 rounds after getting brutally beat for majority of them
I’ve been saying this for years. It’s all about who’s the better athlete and who’s more prepared for that night. Athleticism in freak territory can trump technique. And the best have both in mainstream sports. Football and basketball and to an extent wrestling and baseball have the best athletes this country can offer because of the money. Followed by fighting, than all the other sports are far behind. But, I think to be a true pro or a true college wrestler u need to have years of training under you. I think with good athletes the striking from mma just Carries over better for them
Ngannou looked like a bum when a heavyweight boxer ACTUALLY prepared for a fight
Anything else you wanna say tdawg 😏?
CORRECTION: Ngannou and Fury both weighed in at somewhere in the 270s. The weight difference was negligible. The difference was Ngannou was a dense wall of muscle and Fury was ball of pudgy fat

Tyson Fury, for me has been an extremely unique athlete. I didn't like him at first and didnt want him to beat klichko. I became a fan of his when he did and now has lost my respect for not owning up to the loss. Francis Balboa won the fight

To be fair Bo Nickal did pretty damn good vs Gordon Ryan with no JJ experience outside of post PSU mma training. Yes the rules were skewed in Bo’s favor and he ultimately lost but he was very competitive up to that point.

By saying all this you are denying the talent and natural brilliance of Ngannou. He was world champion in UFC after a very short time and as a late comer. He’s extremely powerful, athletic and fast. He has incredible natural strength and is just probably a natural genius at fighting. He’s a rare specimen.
The gist of it is that you couldn't just take a great athlete who had never done it before, walk them into a wrestling or BJJ match with the top guys, and get close to winning.
The supposition could be that perhaps Tyson Fury is just not very good. Maybe he's propped up. Or maybe boxing as a discipline is bogus. Or maybe boxing as a sport is rigged.
Chael is putting Francis over more, saying he’s a actual athlete and specimen.
@@jty9631 nailed it. That is basically the TLDR of the video.
@@jty9631 yeah I get it. The alternative is that Francis isn’t just a good athlete. He’s a naturally gifted fighter. Perhaps Fury is that good but Francis is highly gifted. Also, he’s not say an Olympic sprinter or shot putter with no experience, he’s a world class champion combat athlete. The alternative is this: being a mixed martial artist requires much more of an understanding of body mechanics overall than boxing. It probably also requires more sophisticated thinking since there are so many more possible alternatives to attack and be attacked that one must be aware of. Imagine a guitarist who has trained to play like a virtuoso. He’s learned many scales on the neck and many more techniques than someone who has just, for example, learned to play blues. Now put him on stage playing a blues song next to a guy who just plays the blues. He’s confined now by the genre of music, but because he has soooo much more overall skill under his belt, he can still blow a great blues guitarist of stage with his performance. Something like that. It would be unfair to say “well blues is just fake guitar playing, because the other guy doesn’t usually play blues and he kicked his ass!”
No. The other guy is just so technically proficient at the whole guitar neck, he can sit in and play with anyone in that genre or any genre and make them look bad. Saying blues is fake takes so much more away from that player.
I agree with what you're saying about the level of athletes in combat sports. Yeah there are some very talented people in the sport, but they generally don't approach the level of freak you see in football or basketball. My theory on it all is a hybrid of what you're proposing and the general consensus. Boxing like MMA is legitimate, HOWEVER because the big money is perceived to be in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, the odds of getting the same level of athlete in those sports is lower. Hence, there will occasionally be a guy like Francis who finds his way into combat sports who is able to really capitalize on his athleticism. I've stated for years that if LeBron had chosen MMA or Boxing as a kid, he would likely be an undefeated superstar HW champ. Same goes for any number of guys from big league sports. Doesn't mean the sport is necessarily illegitimate, just that you don't have the same talent pool, though in the case of boxing the problem is compounded by widespread corruption.
And this is why MMA fans are considered.... To talk about the Floyd Connor fight as if it was competitive or floyd was losing is disingenuous. Floyd was bringing Connor along like he did with Logan. He was smiling and joking whole fight he was the heavy favorite and was only trying to give the people a show because that's all it was a money grab. Floyd carried Connor to later rounds for the fans and KOed him. Chael is trolling he's too smart to believe this nonsense but he knows his MMA fanbase are all....
What about Tank Davis? I bet you he wouldn't get dropped like Fury in boxing against anyone in his weight class
I always imagined how awesome Bo Jackson could have been had he trained mma today with his natural born athleticism
Herschel Walker did MMA and was undefeated, they wouldn't let him compete anymore because of his age.
Boxing is the new Nascar
Francis trained with Mike Tyson before this fight.
One of the greatest boxers ever.
I agree with chael. Natural athletes excel faster in boxing and all the atg had footwork power and speed.
“You went over here and hid in a room.” Cold 😂
yo were submitted by a striker fighting for the belt, so wrestling sucks too
I am studying boxing again at 55 and use it in MT fights often to win and I even used it on the street a month ago with a drunk guy mouthing off and one cross and that was all over. I have a blue belt in bjj and have used it twice to shut down fights, but stayed on my feet and got tired of studying every possible sleeve grip by the Gracies after four years. Boxing is brutal and works well.
I'd like to fight you I am in England.
Stop it just by you telling us you knocked a drunk guy out with a cross lol we know you lying 😂😂😂
Holyfield is a good example of someone who excelled because he was an athlete. He left opportunity for football to box
This didn't age very well .
Boxing is so boring and corrupt compared to MMA. I don't know how it's still relevant
Francis winning is debatable, but Connor vMayweather wasn't even close
Imagine if Francis didn’t have a lot of his youth spent in the mines and homeless trying to make it out, man he’s scary already.
Just had to come and comment on this after AJ sent Francis to the shadow realm 😂
Boxing is fake! Says the MMA expert who also relies on boxing when he's fighting.
Thanks to Anthony Joshua for saving boxing by KTFO Francis Ngannou and sending him to the shadow realm. Ngannou will never be the same. I am an MMA fan, BTW so no bias.
@@2ZZGE100 Hell yeah
There will be movies about Francis, mark my words…his story is the epitome of inspirational.
Chael would absolutely take Tyson Fury to school. 1st round TKO then in the same night beat Francis
The Floyd vs Conor fight was a bad example
Only Uncle Chael can defeat himself and remain undefeated. Legend
It’s crazy that after all the L’s MMA guys took in boxing that one “win” makes everyone forget🤣.
@squealerpig8451 Wing Chun actually sucks though.
@squealerpig8451 no. Wing Chin and the majority of Chinese martial arts aren’t useful. I love the way Wing Chun looks and plays out but it’s definitely not worth investing time in learning if you want to be a legitimate fighter.
Back to taking Ls again.
@@duckyh9712 Yup. This on was sad but it showed that there’s levels to the game.
Conor 'beat up' Floyd what a truly delusional and utterly nonsensical statement its beyond belief that he actually says it with a straight face.
Hes a hater.
By these metrics UFC would also be considered a fake sport after Brock Lesnar came in and started beating guys that were training their whole life for MMA, no?
Francis been training in boxing for 10 years...Brock Lesnar become UFC champion his 3 Rd fight coming from WWE does that make MMA fake? Bj Penn become a world champion in bjj in 3 years does that make BJJ fake?
Francis is a freak of nature and basically a unicorn in combat sports. I recall someone by the name of Brock Lesnar coming into the UFC and gaining the heavyweight title with only WWE experience, so it works probably in any sports, not just boxing. Boxing doesn't suck, just some people are freaks of nature and can take on even the most experienced fighters.
"only wwe experience". No bro it wasn't his years of fake wrassling....
He was an NCAA all American and national champion. High school and college wrestling.
WWE 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The difference is MMA is an art, and boxing is a "science". MMA is chess, and boxing is checkers.
To be beat by a child prodigy in chess is understandable because it's much more of a complex game. But to be beat by a child prodigy in CHECKERS is so much more embarrassing because the rules and possible outcomes are so much easier to see. It's like letting your kids beat you at tik tac toe. 😂😂😂
Bad decisions happen all the time in MMA and we don't say MMA is fake because of that. I personally had Fury winning 7 rounds to 3, with of course the one 10-8 round for Francis. It wasn't an impressive victory for Fury, but he won clearly in my opinion, as a 53 yr old lifelong fight fan
We all need to realize that Chael has been indirectly telling us he is being paid to make all these boxing vids... That means someone cares enough to pay money to get eyes on the subject and likely has plans for a future fight and wants to set up a rematch.
Obviously. Francis' stock is done in his next boxing match. He had everything in his favor to pull off the upset and didn't. No boxer takes him lightly again.
I don't think we watched the same Mayweather vs McGregor
6:38 cut and glue the boards 😂
There’s gotta be something to us, the loyal fan base of Uncle Chael, that we’re able to, and often consensually willing to, get gaslighted to on a regular basis. That is all. Keep it up, Champ. Undefeated and Undisputed.
Real boxing gurus know the Heavyweight division is always an exception. Deontay Wilder was in his 20s when he entered boxing and won it all.
This video did not age well. Fight sports have this meta game component which is the analysis and preparation tailored for an opponent. Clearly Fury did not prepare while Francis did prepare for Fury. Now that Francis has actual video footage of him boxing and has proven himself no slouch, he may never win a boxing match again against an elite. There are too many obvious holes in his game, exploits, tendencies.
There is another great wrestler who became a great stryker. He became such a good stryker that he beat the brakes off of Anderson Silva for 5 rounds once. That man's name is Chael Sonnen.
I don’t understand how he keeps saying Conner beat Floyd it discredits the rest lol
