Francis is still very vulnerable to the take down. I think Stipe and DC both take him down easily and keep him on the ground.
Sorry but Cejudo is not a Mexican American. He's a racist. You can find film of him chanting la raza, which is a racist group.
So glad Dana White is not a coward like so many others, and put on that event.
Dom stoppage was too early. He was standing up. No brainer.
Imagine Ronda Rousey's comeback if she'd have gone with Trevor Wittman or Henry Hooft. They are masters at bringing out the striking game for people with a ground game background.
I lost $900 on the Cruz fight. I thought it was a good stoppage. When a fighter goes ass up face down taking punches. It's a huge sign of it's over. Cejudo wasn't going to let that position go, even if it's 2 seconds.
I'm with you guys, I really don't want DC to fight Ngannou…Not worth the risk.
Francis ngannou BEAST when he get out of that Mess Up contract Francis Is Coming he Keep getting better an better You can't Get around Francis All the Heavyweights are sooner or later going to have to fight each other you can't Talk your way out of that 1.Francis ngannou 2. Paulo acosta Both Beast

Besides the hiccup from Jacare getting that positive test (thoughts are with him and his team for a quick recovery) and the backlash that got, this card went off without a hitch. Glad the UFC is back. Megan did a great job on Friday with UFC Live that she hosted with DC having to wear multiple hats, being the host and doing interviews too. It will be interesting to see the rankings coming out of that card on Saturday. I think Henry is playing games to get more money. I dont buy that he is retiring. I think maybe that was his way of saying that was his last fight on his contract and he wants to laugh all the way to the bank. Lets play devils advocate, if he is, the UFC doesnt have 2 champions at Flyweight and Bantamweight cause of him. That is 2 divisions praictally stunk. When Alan talked about Francis and how Stipe needs to give a date. That was Francis' frustration at the post media scrum. Stipe needs to commit and I think that is the frustration Dana has, it can come across like Stipe is using the pandemic to play games and delay the trilogy with DC. Francis is stuck. At Heavyweight, who knows where he does from here.
Great episode
I really like both. They always do great analysis. Greetings from Brazil!
Obrigada!
