Episode 156: Francis Ngannou Shocks The World In Loosing Effort To Fury | Is Ngannou The Face Of MMA Now? | Almeida Vs Lewis Picks/Predictions | Top 5 Most Well Rounded UFC Fighters Right Now
For a weekend with no UFC fights, man did the MMA world get rocked this past weekend! Francis Ngannou had his first boxing match against arguably the greatest heavyweight boxer of our generation, and he shocked the world. What might have been just a mention in the news became a whole segment as we talk about the performance, albeit in a losing effort, by Francis. Not only did he shock the world by being competitive with Tyson Fury, but he even scored the only knockdown of the fight and pushed him to a split decision. We spend a good amount of the episode discussing how this changes not only the landscape of Ngannou's career but of the world of MMA and boxing as well. We talk about what could be next for him in terms of his return to MMA and him now possibly being the face of MMA. Next, we move into our picks and predictions for this coming Saturday's UFC Fight Night Brazil as Jailton Almeida faces Derrick Lewis. From there, we move into a fun segment where we each give our Top 5 Most Well-Rounded Non-Champion UFC Fighters. Finally, we wrap things up with the news, which featured the Jon Jones injury, a new UFC 295 main and co-main, Gaethje fighting Max, and more.
