Nightmare matchup for Francis at this point in his career
I see that fight being 5 rounds of boring rubbish with less than 20 strikes thrown between them. I hope I'm wrong
Good fight. Put up or shut up time for Francis.
First fight was good, too.
Shouldn’t be a main event.
Damn this is probably the worst matchup fir Francis at this point…Blaydes is improving fast and has a great wrestlefuck game and Francis confidence is shot to hell…he’s too scared of gassing out and Blaydes knows this
Francis has the fear
Ngannou, Blaydes rematch goes down in November. I heard after what happened at UFC 226, Ngannou asked about the possibility of fighting at UFC 227 a month later. Got the sense he wanted to have a date back on the books quickly after that. https://t.co/HuHDot9A1d
