Would be very cool if Jones or Ngannou or Stipe actually fight again.

They have like 2 fights between the 3 of them in 2 years. Hopefully we see at least 2 of the 3 this year.

I wonder how far along it needs to be for them to have the graphics package handed over to the stadium. Is it sane ownership?

imagine, for a moment, that you had a terrifying yet eminently likable 6'4" heavyweight kickboxer with appeal in multiple international markets and a virtual guarantee of producing at least one mainstream-adored highlight-reel knockout per year, and all you had to do was pay him not like a schmuck, and you decided that actually, instead, the promotionally responsible choice is to bet on Jon Jones

sucks that Ngannou is gone. I hope he goes and fights Tyson Fury and makes a ton of money and comes back. but Jones-Gane is a sick fight. that's going to rule (if Jon can make it lol)

If Chatri is not currently on a conference call offering to sell his own family to whatever shadowy figures are bankrolling ONE to send the money truck to Ngannou's house, he is no promoter at all.

It's the most actually hosed up thing for the UFC to do so of course it's what happened, I hope Jones fucks this up for the UFC with his typical joie de vie and the fight gets scrapped

Oh, I was on my phone and assumed it was a big jumbotron on the outside of the stadium, not a big physical banner. Which makes this: > I've been told the Gane vs. Jones T-Mobile graphic has been taken down, was a behind-the-scenes mistake. that much more irrational if true -- they had the sign people take it down, only to put it back up later in the day? I'm sure the work contract could enforce that, but still, just let it slide. The narrative doesn't get any different to control, unless like Francis was still in a room with Dana after the sign went up, and he didn't want his head punched off.

Remember: Ariel Helwani wasn't blackballed from the UFC for criticizing them or talking about fighter pay or having weird interviews, but for leaking Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt at UFC 200 before Dana had the pleasure of announcing it. It's entirely likely they pulled it because Dana wanted to have his attention moment.

Remember that Francis could probably pull 8 figures for a fight against a post-prime boxer like Chisora and probably 7 for fighting a fringe-top-100 heavyweight. The MMA orgs will need to match that type of pay to difficulty of opponent ratio, and I just don't see them doing that, at least not without Francis doing a bankruptcy tour of a bunch. Even the PFL tournament would be more work for less pay than KOing some bum on a Jake Paul card.

Request the mods edit the thread to include the following poll: "What's the worst thing Dana White has done?" 1. Allign himself with literal fascists 2. Publicly abuse his wife 3. Make me agree with Jake Paul

I think White's punishment for slapping his wife should be that Ngannou gets to punch him And White's punishment for loving Ngannou out of a fair payday is that Ngannou gets to punch him

Dana said some stuff: https://sports.yahoo.com/dana-white-francis-ngannou-rejected-143034354.htmlDana White posted:[Ngannou] feels he’s in a good position where he can fight lesser opponents and make more money. So we’re going to let him do that. Now I’m no expert but I think that there may be a serious flaw in the UFC’s business plan when that’s an option for the heavyweight champion.
