Jones and the ufc couldn’t agree on a fee, so the Interim fight between gane and Lewis got made, so obviously jones can’t step in and fight ngannou then. Then ngannou nurses a knee injury, then he’s recovered, jones is ready to go and ngannou isn’tBS.
When Ngannou took the title, Jones was not injured, he was offered the fight and declined because "8-10millions was way too low". It is on record.
Ngannou planned at least 3 years ahead to complete his contract and explore his options, including his dream of boxing. And as soon as his contract ended and negotiations to renew failed, Jones magically appeared out of a 3 years layoff.
But yeah, you know, he went to box Tyson Fury because he wanted no risk and easy fights. Makes sense, right?
Well did he defend a month later or did it take another 6 months before he finally did?He had to leave the US to renew his visa, nothing he could have done anything. They made an interim after 5 months, when he said he would be ready a month later, the most unwarranted interim fight in combat sport history.
He'd already lost to Lewis, meanwhile he used to train with Gane where he KO'd him standing in sparring and knew his grappling sucked.If you believe he was ducking Lewis, to then defend against Gane despite a massive injury, I have a couple of bridges to sell you.
Duh... he defended when the UFC offered it, moron. Because it had to be Gane and Gane wanted some vacations with his very legit belt.Well did he defend a month later or did it take another 6 months before he finally did?
So when Jones under contract ask for much more than 10 millions (alledgedly 30millions, lol) guaranteed to fight Ngannou, it's just him negociating.Jones and the ufc couldn’t agree on a fee, so the Interim fight between gane and Lewis got made, so obviously jones can’t step in and fight ngannou then.

I wasn’t aware that bader was even still fighting I thought he retired years ago. Never heard of the other guy. But I guess that’s what happens when you decide to move down to the minor leagues instead of fighting in the ufc
Francis via omoplata or flying arm bar...
Imagine he beats AJ, arguably beats Fury, then returns to MMA and loses to fucking Renan Ferreira...
I honestly believe him.
I dont.
Francis ducking Jon Africa confirmed.
He also put Fedor to sleep in 10 seconds with a jab
Bader is as good as finished in this fight, I see Francis ending it inside a few minuets.
Ferreira stand a chance here??
Bader was absolutely terrified of Rumble Johnson so I don't anticipate him doing well again Francis
Yes, it is him not wanting to fight. The first fight of his new contract would have been jones, and if he lost he takes a pay cut. He wasn’t confident he could beat jones so he ran off to boxing and started calling for a crossover fight that everyone knows will never happen to save faceDuh... he defended when the UFC offered it, moron. Because it had to be Gane and Gane wanted some vacations with his very legit belt.

But when Ngannou completes his contract, and they can't agree on terms for a new contract (not for a specific fight) it's him not wanting to fight.
You guys are full of shit, for real.
Yeah he really bossed them by getting paid eormous sums of money for fights nobody watched and they wouldn't have made money on, to turn around and fight Bader, who lost to Jones 13 years ago, 2 years later after stiffing PFL for a year instead of fighting for them like he'd agreed to.Ngannou fkn bossed Dana & Co.
One of the most unexpected turnarounds. Dana n 'em should be concerned, because he's shown other champs or stars of UFC a way to not be beholden to them. Yeah McGregor did first but it seemed bound to McGregor's once in a lifetime character / charisma of that era. Ngannou does have charisma and is a great guy but he wasn't a global superstar. Even still most people wouldn't have heard of him, as in even casual boxing fans, and definitely not the average person who doesn't follow any of it.
It looked like Ngannou fumbled the bag.
Then he went out n got like, what, $30 mil? from the Fury and Joshua fights. Over 3 x what UFC was offering to tie him in... he's got that from 2 boxing fights, PLUS another $23 million. And now he's name and stock is WAY higher, he's shaken up boxing, and can now go back to PFL and make more bank.
Fkn bossed 'em.
jones was willing to fight, ngannou wasn’t, and then ngannou started throwing stones from across the pond
How hilarious to go from fighting Jones to fighting the guy he obliterated 13 years ago. More so if Bader wrestlefucks him.
Your dumb talking point about Jon avoiding him for years is just dumb when Ngannou wasn't fighting either. And still isn't in MMA either. Wait a couple more years before trying your revisionist history.
So when Jones under contract ask for much more than 10 millions (alledgedly 30millions, lol) guaranteed to fight Ngannou, it's just him negociating.
The UFC was offering $8M per fight SO LONG AS HE KEPT WINNING. AKA remained champion.Duh... he defended when the UFC offered it, moron. Because it had to be Gane and Gane wanted some vacations with his very legit belt.

Who gives af he's richer than shit. He was a legit champ in UFC, defended, created a new path and is now going to be like 5 x richer than he would have been. Not saying it's all about money, but we're not talking an already-billionaire here or something, if you asked me 'hey want 7 mil? or 30?', those are amounts which still matter. So yeah, he bossed em, business wise for himself.Yeah he really bossed them by getting paid eormous sums of money for fights nobody watched and they wouldn't have made money on, to turn around and fight Bader, who lost to Jones 13 years ago, 2 years later after stiffing PFL for a year instead of fighting for them like he'd agreed to.
Like Jesus fuck. Ngannou proved the UFC entirely correct not to re-sign him.
It's not very hard to understand how the UFC was also right.Who gives af he's richer than shit.

Having established now that Ngannou was tied up for 2021 dealing with an interim champion, is there anything at all you can think of that occurred in 2022 that kept him from fighting Jones then?
Shoot.dont remember how good Bader take downs were lol but if you knew the guy you were fighting has been training basically boxing for 2yrs wouldnt you just wrestle fk him shrugs... would be funny 0-2 in boxing.. then losing in PFL whew to wrestling
