Tbh most of those who said it was boring probably aren't used to watching mma grappling it, it takes at least 2 years. Having said that I don't think Ngannou did enough damage when wrestling and the rules prioritise damage.

Totally fascinating

🐎💩

Edge of the seat fights are never boring

@Theo P Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

While injured 😨

GOAT is coming

"Shows his all rounded" wut?

John jones would not beat ngannou

I'd say he's better calculated as he knows when to not go fully out as he'll tire quickly.

would love a rematch between those two down the line. maybe after gane gets a couple more fights under his belt

@@bassesatta9235 With the current relationship between Francis and the UFC and the contract situation I doubt we’ll see another fight from Francis. He’s openly admitted he’d like to explore free agency and has had fight offers from Tyson Fury, in my mind it’s a done deal and the UFC have drove away a star.

@OUTCLASSER Support Team i say this because hes only had 10 mma professional fights

@@xpro3341 ngannou fighting fury is good payday but guaranteed brain damage he would get absolutely battered

@@harryhampson7461 Regardless it does nothing in terms of tarnishing his career in MMA, it’s money the likes of which he’s never seen and will ratchet up his star power.

my only complaint is how innactive he was on top feel the ref should of stood them up 2 times

Laying down and doing absolutely nothing to him after gassing in the first 4 minutes?

they both looked untouched at the end :-) hard as nails

He used pure strength and power more than skill

I am so proud of what Francis brought to the table. Amazing as no one saw these skills coming

Is what any fan girl will say to excuse the boring fight let’s be honest dude looked like a clown with them knee bands and gassing out after one

@@steveborn7500 they was both carrying 240lbs most of the fight course they’ll be gassed

@@steveborn7500 what is the legit reason ur mad?

@@rrrrrriddim4964 he was gassed in under one round tho was my point lol and mad at what ? I’m not a gambling junkie like half of the aids crybaby’s in this sport 💀 sit down stfu

@@rrrrrriddim4964 keep tryna talk on ya fakey name 🐔 Go on yap then gums 🤡

So True

Yep and his gas tank has improved A LOT, this is only going to increase his confidence

Facts... Dude strong asf

@@doublej6255 imagine if he takes time out to focus on his boxing.. like he defo won’t be good enough to beat fury but it’s not about that, it’ll be an exhibition to make money but when he comes back to MMA with even tighter hands it’s going to be a wrap

@@NabilAbdulrashidComedy That would be insane and scary for the hvw division lol Francis is a fast learner, I think he will do well in boxing. Fury fight is just for the 💰💰💰

Yesss! Glad to see another fan of the actual sport of MMA. The controversy surrounding the fight seems to have taken away from just how special this performance was. Once the dust has settled in the coming years I think we will look back on this as an all time great MMA fight and one of the most important heavyweight fights of all time. Francis truly has GOAT potential.

It was boring

@@aMentalPie Boring to casuals who know nothing about grappling. Go watch boxing.

@@hassanhussain6605 hahaha ooh look at me I pretend I like grappling and wrestling rather than exciting, explosive fights and will call anyone a casual who thinks otherwise!

@@aMentalPie what's wrong with grappling for Abit

And so wot lol Dana dose wtf he likes lol 😂😂😂😂

Neither gane nor francsis are wrestlers anyway 😅😅

@@ritchiethomas7733 Ur illiterate

I actually really enjoyed it. This is how GSP used to dominate all challengers, but it's so much fun to see someone as scary strong as Francis almost casually pick up and slam a 250 pound opponent

@@paulmichael8796 picked him up with ease aswell 🤣 it was weird

Facts

@@paulmichael8796 now into boxing for him and to get Spanked by Tyson Fury, wouldn't even bother watching that fight, fury would finish him in couple rounds.

Exactly. He showed some real fight IQ. People just wanna watch meatheads punch each other into oblivion, these guys wanna win.

What a b*tch move from Dana. Seriously pathetic.

Why didn't Dana put on him?

@@iskindersam4899 because he has no intention of making any changes to the contract so Francis probably won't fight in the ufc again

Lol Dana getting hated more n more as time goes on

@@elliottgould5114 I've always seen him as an arrogant pathetic human being

I'm so glad they are both ok.

Boring

Tbf they took some decent body shots

That’s never a plus, we want maximum violence at all times

@@Mh-zg2bx wrong

Legit all of the comments saying oh gane will win if the fight goes 5 rounds I’m glad he not only won but got the unanimous decision

Agreed! So great! Francis has GOAT potential

Dana lost a bag 😂😂😂

@@Igvga happy he got a robbed unanimous decision? Gane should have been the one who won by decision. Gane schooled Ngannou in striking and stand-up.

Indeed, they constantly do this. Its not about talent. Its about the market they can take advantage of. Look at Jack Shore for example. Clearly top 3 best Prospects from Britain but because he comes from Wales they don't promote him. 15-0 in his career and 4-0 in the ufc, yet still hasn't had a main card.

This👏

Real talk

@@taffyducks544 in Jack's case I don't think that its an issue that he's Welsh especially. They push those fighters who put bums on seats and make people part with their money for PPV sales. If they or indeed he himself, could market him somehow he'd be a star. Only way to do that on this day and age is to knocking people dead in the cage OR being loud with a microphone in your hand. Winning fights just sadly isn't enough any more. It ain't right but that's usually how it goes.

@@taffyducks544 Mate it's nothing to do with him being Welsh, it's because no one knows who he is. Arnold Allen is 7-0 in the UFC and had only been on the main card once until last year. I'm a fan of both guys but lets face it, they aren't exactly superstar material. Being clean, technical and safe like those two is super impressive but doesn't draw numbers. If Jack goes out and gets an impressive knockout over a decent name, he will get pushed.

Agree, smart fighting

@@kiingjackoff I almost did. Then I found a guy on KZfaq who was uploading all the fights as they happened.. So I got to watch the fight for free, like 15 mins after it happened :)

I just said to my girl if that was me vs Francis and I did that and this mans reaction was to just sit there and stare at me in the eye 👁.. I’ll tell the reff to call it.

@@GameBreakerGod Brilliant. That really got me man

@@GameBreakerGod 🤣🤣 I would give up my girl as a sacrifice

It wasn't a reversal really. Gane tried to switch for a heel hook and gave top position in the last round like a fool. If he stays on top for the rest of the round he wins 3-2

Scissor sweep

@@AtlasTurner ive looked at it a few times and it looks like ngannou pulls of the scissor sweep but gane goes for a sumbission because of the position he ended up in and it was potentially available. Gonna give credit to francis on this one personally

No acl. Just stop

Your clueless yes ACL confirmed by several people and discussed by a some before the fight

Bullshit. Problem was Ngannou easily got the takedowns but had no serious BJJ game. Didnt advance position or GnP. Was just gaining control time stat. I like the way DC wrestles. This was just lay on top and do nothing to win the round

@@meruemo776 dc has been training for decades btw and also gane is extremely good at defending

Frank Mir's ground game was better.

Yawn. Can we enjoy this marvel of a man "francis" for a moment. He just beat gane in the most unexpected way! Let the man take the credit he is due. Honestly.

@@jessewrites17792 he’s not discrediting Francis tho but gane is still only 30 which is young for heavyweight and has only done MMA for 3 years. And his striking is levels above the rest of the division so I’d be surprised if gane never becomes champion

It’s not definitely tho is it

What if he never manages to get his wrestling up to scratch?

@@lukescovell8294 people said the same thing about a slower, sluggish older Francis 3 years ago, Mark my words he will be champion one day. I can see your a West ham fan so wouldn't ever know anything about championship

@OUTCLASSER Support Team ???

@@lukescovell8294 Don't mind the stupid comment

He doesn’t have top wrestling though. He has good takedowns but when he’s on the ground he gets little done

@@darnellclinton8958 doesn't matter, he accumulated loads of ground control time and that wins rounds

@@darnellclinton8958 That's definitely true but I think based on judging criteria just maintaining control during grappling exchanges goes a long way, I could be wrong and I do think Francis does need to do more damage on the ground when he's in those positions but either way it's great to see his evolution as a fighter

@@darnellclinton8958 The longer he trains with Usman, the better he will get. I personally love the new Ngannou. People need to put some respect on the man's fight IQ and technicality

@@Blobbyo25 oh definitely his potential keeps growing and improving. Although who knows what will happen cuz he’s currently fighting dana with his contract negotiations

Agreed

Curtis Blades doesn't have nowhere near as much success with his wrestling against gane because their is no element of surprise with his takedowns and his stand up is nowhere near as dangerous or threating

@@liamaubrey4303 that's bullshit curtis has good striking. He will ragdoll gane

Brock Lesnar doing a shooting star press

Absolutely fire 🔥

@DaGe PaPo never gonna happen I dont think, both want too much money for the UFC to make the fight

I think he will have just 1 more fight in the ufc. Clearly he is not happy there.

After this performance he wouldn’t last long with Tyson

@@20s6ix5 lol

Looks like he doesn't want to stay there and he can make more money elsewhere

Humble pie for everyone 😂

Not crazy at all. NOBODY outside of his camp would've predicted this grappling performance

@@michael43567 he already dominated Stipe in grappling in the last fight

@@SeanLives "dominated" is a stretch. Regardless nobody saw THIS grappling performance coming.

I think not a lot of people realise that talent in africa is mostly unrefined ngannou is a good striker and good wrestler but imagine if he had the childhood of a prodigy the guy wouldve been champion for a while.

@@SeanLives taking someones back isnt dominating lol

He didn't even wrestle.. where are people getting that bollocks from ? He takes Gane down yeah but then does nothing with it.. that's not wrestling

@@ETH85 thats what I'm thinking, all Francis did was lay on top of Gane because he ran out of stamina

@@lankyboii1234 glad someone else noticed instead of trying to make out he was actually wrestling.. there's a massive difference between that and lying on top of somebody

@@ETH85 why didn't gane get up....

Or subit him...or do anything other than just get laid on like a prostitute..

Good luck with that

Would those 2 losses not of been more challenging

Nah, not worth the rematch for gane

gane is still young so I believe he will come back stronger like Francis did against stipe the first time, he’s still in the early stages of his career

@@J1077Plays yeah he’s only 30 and easily has the best striking in the division. He might have trouble with stipe tho since he got taken down by Francis so much

Yeah i know they say that gane made a mistake and went for a leg lock he never went for one. Francis did good

The rate that he develops and learns is incredible! Even since Miocic Ngannou 2 he's come a huge way technically and tactically

He will be worried about wrestling which will leave him open for a knock out !

@@perfectcreature1 what knockout? Ngannou got outstriked every time in the stand-up and was barely landing anything. Ngannou can't KO Gane, especially after the first couple rounds where Ngannou gasses out.

@@RealCristianoPenaldo Francis apparently had a knee injury wich would understandably affect is striking game, plus let's not act like Francis can't he improve his striking before a remath

@@RealCristianoPenaldo read the main comment and then read my comment and come back and correct yourself 👍🏾

Doesn't Francis also know where he needs to improve too though? I don't see Gane ever beating Francis because he's proving with every fight that he works on every aspect of his game. Takedown defense improved incredibly against Stipe, Jiu Jitsu and takedowns improved for this fight. I can only see maybe Stipe beating Francis right now, maybe.

yep, Francis has just become twice as scary. Francis the grappler and Francis the knockout artist.

Stop using ‘casual’ as an insult. People are allowed to watch a sport without being completely obsessed with it

@@samshaw1443 Doesn't mean they're not casuals.

@@samshaw1443 they can watch it, the problem is when they start commenting stuff like they know what they're talking about

@@gonr0gue85 my point is not all casuals are like that. Some just watch the occasional fight and accept that they know very little about the sport. Don’t lump all casual fans into the same bracket

It’s possible but due to the clause in his contract, after winning this title fight he’s tied to the UFC for another year

Why might it be his last?

@@SA77888 Because Ngannou wants to take up boxing and fight Tyson Fury.

I also had. It 4-1 duno why it blows your mind gane landed 2 more shots then Francis in the first round ... Most of them tippy tappy leg kicks that literally did nothing the biggest strike of that round was nganouu uppercut to the body and combo that had gane fold over and retreat..was a super close first round ...even the second was close due to lack of output by gane in first 2 rounds and no rarely committing to his strikes

That’s when experience came in😊

cant lie i agree

Hes supposed to be in control of the ufc its his job

Their treatment of ngannou has been a disgrace I rly hope he goes and fights fury now for the pay day

@@lukescovell8294 Marcus Rashford

He may have thought he had it on points

@@Akeemprv he also refused to attend the press conference. Blatant snub!

he defended the attempts. a failed submission attempt doesn’t really mean much

@@harrygilliver7306it does in the scoring for effective grappling. It’s weighed higher than no offence

I am, for a rematch to happen, Gane needs to fight and defeat either Jon Jones or Stipe, winner fight Ngannou.
