Have you ever seen a fighter completely mentally destroyed like Nganou appears to be after the Stipe fight? I'm pretty sure I haven't.francis is shot. his heart wasnt in it.they need to feed him some guys who are barely ranked and build him back up. if he fights timid like that again i say its a wrap for him

Before anyone says GSP, he got cautious after Serra, but he still engaged.
Also, why the fuck wasn't Herb Dean calling for action? We've seen a lot more ref intervention in far less boring fights. That awful, awful fight was a failure on his part too, imo.
He threw a few of those against hunt too. Hilarious watching such a big guy do ttat.honestly reminded me of Jones vs OSP a bit...killer instinct gone...aggression gone...body changes
I truly feel he fell out of Favor with UFC and they stopped giving him special treatment and priviledges
Or he bet Lewis by decision at +1050 and is gonna by Compound in Cameroon
or mental issues of some sort
What about Derrick Lewis jumping switch kick though LOL...amazing and may have cracked Francis's arm
Herb has always sucked, imoHerb Dean has really gone from one of the best refs to really becoming a pretty fucking bad ref the last few years. He can't figure out when to stop fights. He has fights that he stops way too early too often, but then other fights where he let's it go too long. Also in this fight, you can't just passively tell them 1 or 2 times about not being active, fuck tell them wtih more authority and if they don't listen, take away points from them.
Herb did Yellow Card themHave you ever seen a fighter completely mentally destroyed like Nganou appears to be after the Stipe fight? I'm pretty sure I haven't.

Maybe he bet that fight to go the distance at like +500 knowing it would pay better than that petty 50k performance bonusHe had landed THREE punches thru two rounds. That’s literally unheard of, especially for a guy that flattened HW’s like Overeem.
I think it was 31 combined with Francis only having 11. That statement isn't total thrown though, it's landed.It was so weird. He was bouncing around and moving like he was ready to throw down any second but just never did. Truly bizarre.
Does anyone remember the total strikes thrown stat?
I think on UFC tonight they said Francis threw a total of 17 punchesIt was so weird. He was bouncing around and moving like he was ready to throw down any second but just never did. Truly bizarre.

I know right...he had great footwork and was bobbing and weaving like roy jones...just forgot to actually punch...threw like 3-4 good kicks all fight and only a few punches...wtfIt was so weird. He was bouncing around and moving like he was ready to throw down any second but just never did. Truly bizarre.
