Francis Ngannou’s Legacy in MMA ‘Forgotten’
Throughout an version of MMAFighting.com’s “The Fighter vs. The Author,” Matt Brown weighed in on the rumors that Francis Ngannou is open to a UFC return. “The Immortal” believes Ngannou broken his legacy in MMA after leaving the UFC.
“Legacy clever, he’s already forgotten by way of the heavyweight division in MMA. Legacy clever, I feel it broken his legacy tremendously. Had he gained these boxing matches, that may have clearly helped his legacy a [expletive] ton. As an example, after he fought Tyson Fury the primary time, and lots of us imagine that he gained, it was fairly shut, debatable however I’d argue he in all probability gained. I don’t suppose anyone was arguing that it was a nasty transfer at that time.”
Brown went so far as to say the 2 boxing matches “humanized” Ngannou. In the end, Brown feels Ngannou took the cash on the expense of how he’s seen throughout the MMA group.
“It was after he misplaced and now the UFC is like no matter bro, do your factor,” Brown mentioned. “Now everyone is asking if it was a mistake. However he made more cash in these two matches that he would have made combating within the UFC for the subsequent 10 years. Was it a mistake on that half? No, however his legacy goes to endure. He’s not going to be within the talks for one of the best heavyweight ever, interval.”
UFC CEO Dana White was not too long ago requested if he would do enterprise with Ngannou once more. The UFC boss saved issues temporary and mentioned it’s unlikely to occur.
