I always suspected that Francis cardio issues was overrated even if it wasn't the best, he was able to defend 8/14 takedowns and grapple 4 more rounds with Stipe despite being exhausted and not used to grapple, don't get me wrong Stipe dominated him, but getting tired is mental to some degree and the guy pushed through. He did however exceed my expectation you rarely see a power striker let alone a HW approve their cardio that much, that means he is able to win decisions if he can't KO them in the first 2 rounds, he will probably be hard to beat for now.
People were making way too much of his cardio cause before this fight he had about 9 minutes of total cage time in his last 5 wins. I knew there was something wrong with him cause he hadnt been to the score cards since his 2 crappy fights with Stipe and Derrick.
I’m a Dana fan but common bro 2.5 million for your African fighter is nothing for you call it reparations if you must but the real slap is watching the scoreboards and sending your henchman with the belt was just embarrassing shame on you BDD.🎅
The Sheer power and bone density of this man is freakn awesome. Cyril himself telling us tht, it’s not the wrestling really, it’s his power. Francis top pressure must feel like he’s steel and under the octagon, there’s a massive magnet
I have to push back a bit. Francis used Judo trips, and used similar techniques for getting Gane to the grown that Valentina uses. Even the power slam was skillful because he caught Gane's foot. He showed skill and power with those takedowns.
@@Anakele20 no no, of course you’re right, I’m not meaning to say he lacked skill, I’m just saying tht his top pressure must be a living hell to experience
Definitely Scary but it would of been more scary if he punched Gane while was on top Ganes lucky all he did was wrestle and not get hit with really any punches on the ground
@@bawbawl It was a close fight but when he laid on top of gane and threw only one punch it wasn’t really a good look, Franco really wasn’t that active at all even his stand up mins went by and he didn’t throw one punch
We saw the future. One day all the elite heavies will move like that. Plus the champ could become the GOAT of Ground n Pound. Neither have reached their prime. Do you disagree?
Yes. The goat and ground and pound part. He was a wet blanket, didn't do much damage. So not goat. But Fight IQ to win the fight! Champ has evolved into a complete fighter
I honestly feel like Moreno edged it out, he had Figgy rocked quite a few times but he never would capitalize on it which was annoying, idk if he could tell or not. Close fight either way, love his attitude taking the L. He’s so young still he has many more chances
Francis' English has gotten amazing. I remember hearing him back in 2017 and he was still stammering and stuttering over putting sentences together. However right now, his English is way better than other UFC mainstays that I wish probably could speak more of it. I mean, imagine how much bigger of global stars some fighters could be if their English was better? I'm thinking specifically about guys like Charles Oliveira and Jose Aldo.
So Happy For you Francis, You showed them all why your the Champ!! Excellent Strategy mixing in the wrestling and looked good doing it, Vicious Knockout Power plus Takedown Threat? Fk Yea, Africa Stand Up!!#AndStill 🇨🇲 🇨🇲🇨🇲
Listening to how fighters are being treated in the UFC makes me hate Dana White, he's such a greedy man.. But it will caught up with him someday.. He's so wicked.. Smh I can't stand him
just heard ngannou's post fight press conference dana's a crybaby because francis won't bend the knee his greed & ego is becoming a liability for the ufc
@@josephboza7448 Yeah, but how much is left after taxes (30%), mananger fee (up to 20 %), gym and coaches (+10%), nutritionist, sparring partners flight, acomodation and weekly pays, and so on and so on...

How can you not love this human being
Dana is definitely on some road rage right now!

Couldn’t agree more, I root for gane, but Francis did a real champ fight, I didn’t see that coming, congrats to him

It’s not 2.5 mill it’s dam 500k as Francis has said, Dana’s greed is next level
How do people not love Francis 🤦🏾♂️ straight forward and personable
Strapped both legs as decoy, very smart

@@JoeLambert94782 very true, you think he did enough in the last round to win? There’s a lot of talk saying he didn’t

@@HIPHOPARUNAN how do you conclude he doesn't have that potential?
You saw the future? I think prime DC runs through both of them tbh
@@fuckingkimura sure!
@@fuckingkimura I think proper weight DC is the P4P GOAT
Why was Dana not at the post press conference
Congrats to Ciril. Great accomplishment to hang in there with a much improved FN for 5 rds
Where can you watch the post show they’re doing after this?
it’s on espn+ i think
I honestly feel like Moreno edged it out, he had Figgy rocked quite a few times but he never would capitalize on it which was annoying, idk if he could tell or not. Close fight either way, love his attitude taking the L. He’s so young still he has many more chances
The knockdowns lost him the fight in my eyes it was close but it was a clear 3-2 for figgy that is
@@quickscoper3019 yea felt the same. Unfortunate for Moreno that it came at the last 10 secs of the round he was winning
@@HIPHOPARUNAN 👍

Congrats Francis 💪🏿🔥 Usman did great job . Respect ! 🇬🇭🇳🇬
Curious why Dana didnt put the belt on him? Is there that much of a beef?
So Happy For you Francis, You showed them all why your the Champ!! Excellent Strategy mixing in the wrestling and looked good doing it, Vicious Knockout Power plus Takedown Threat? Fk Yea, Africa Stand Up!!#AndStill 🇨🇲 🇨🇲🇨🇲
Moreno is still the champ in my book!!
THIS WAS NOT A GOOD CARD CASEY. WTF.
Francis comes across as a real nice guy. Not to be messed with mind.
john jones vs derrek lewis : the winner fights Ngannou
Is that Nate Diaz?
Listening to how fighters are being treated in the UFC makes me hate Dana White, he's such a greedy man.. But it will caught up with him someday.. He's so wicked.. Smh I can't stand him
If you add the anything extra like ppv points the total payout is about 3.6 million. Francis probably made 1.2 total
Francis congrats! Respect 👏🏻💸
27:42 Break out the Red Panties!! 💰
Было жесть
*Gane fanboys disappeared faster than dana white himself*
why did dana not wrap the belt around francis?
because he is scared
Because he is a coward
just heard ngannou's post fight press conference
dana's a crybaby because francis won't bend the knee
his greed & ego is becoming a liability for the ufc
They lost their money, Dana ran to khabib for clues.
So just Francis? Lol
U mean just Francis being the only one to speak out about not being paid enough? if that's what u mean I agree
@@samster2626 that, and he’s the only one that hasn’t had Dana wrap the belt. Curious what his excuse is gonna be. “Emergency,” maybe?
600K IS PATHETIC
That is what we know. if you add it up all together. its about 1.2 i guess
@@josephboza7448 Yeah, but how much is left after taxes (30%), mananger fee (up to 20 %), gym and coaches (+10%), nutritionist, sparring partners flight, acomodation and weekly pays, and so on and so on...
STOP WATCHING MMA
HORRIBLE FIGHT CARD, TOP TO BOTTOM IT SUCKED.
75 BUCKS FOR THIS PILE OF DOGSHIT???
U pay for fights still? Sounds like your the idiot 🤷🏾♂️
Go see an optometrist that card was exciting
I actually enjoyed watching Francis win a fight by wrestling and the co main was exciting.
