Francis was grinning ear to ear when he watched Jon vs Cyril. He has the hunger. Dude has nothing going for him outside of the UFC. As soon as he loses to Tyson Fury and gets his money ala Conor vs Mayweather, he will return to the UFC to get his respect.
Dude, did you not hear what Dana said? Francis won’t be back ever. His terms will never be accepted. Quite frankly, Francis is too smart for the UFC.
Francis will invest the money with the proceeds from the Fury fight in creating a new promotion.
Francis is gonna go 0-2 in boxing and never fight again in MMA or boxing. Who cares what Fracis does next.
There is nothing interesting out there for him besides UFC and maybe BKFC.
Francis boxing Wilder will look a lot worse than Conor boxing Floyd, a lot worse.
He won’t get the Fury fight.
Since the spurious demands of the former champ I’ve been thinking it more likely Dana White signs the mid-tier PFL guy who beats Francis for 1.5mil to be merc’d by Jones
If he wants this done, Francis needs to retain the management services of Tito Ortiz.
