He told them he'd be ready in September and they wanted a heavyweight title fight in August lol.
Yup.
Jake Paul said "Dana pays you guys like shit." Francis, in his best Mice and Men impression, said "Yeah, Jake!" to which Dana replied "Lol. Well, Francis. How about if I pay you in Cyril Gane interim title shots?"
september is in like 3 weeks
Francis had a trip back home scheduled
Dana wanted him for an event
Francis didn't wanna do it then
Dana booked this "interim" fight
Dana said it will be like boxing with two top belts coming together(the irony)
Francis thinks it is all bullshit and is a bit pissed
It was fake hype for this event to make a local guy have a shot at the "title" IMO
I'll never forget Rogan saying "Man, it would have been awesome for you to fight Tyson in his prime." Without missing a beat Lennox Lewis, also without a hint of irony, or self awareness, says "When I fought Mike he was in his prime."
I fucking burst out laughing.
I'm not even entirely convinced that Lewis is on Bethe Correia's level when it comes to the basic fundamentals of MMA.

Didn't he read that other shit head? UNPRECEDENTED.
Don't know if you've been following the thread or not, but there was one moron in here complaining about Lewis' lack of volume and variety of skill as if he has more than one tool.
I think he wanted to fight next month not this month. that was it.
chandler was pretty fast
Seemingly nobody in the entire MMA fanbase has ever actually seen a Derrick Lewis fight aside from maybe four of us.
Lennox Lewis was a million times more entertaining than Gane.
You should see r/mma tonight. It is a tidal wave of clueless fans.........
Lewis is a major fan favorite. The butt hurt is real, but understandable.
Who do you figure has a higher vertical? Lewis or Correia?

The betting stat was perplexing to me. 94% of bets on Lewis? Why were so many people willing to throw their money away on a fairly predictable fight?
The Volkov KO will always stand as an example of how a Lewis fight COULD go, if you don't take him out of his element. And ultimately that's what we're all watching for.
I doubt that was accurate across all betting sites/books.
It felt hard to bet against derek derailing another up and comer with that right hand...I stayed off that fight
The value for betting Gane was low...If you bet 100 bucks and Gane wins you end up with 135 bucks...If you bet 100 on Gane and Lewis KOs him you end up with 0 and feel like a dumbass for not respecting lewis propensity to KO guys that are better MMA fighter(lewis had won 7 of 9, many as underdog)
Many sore butts tonight........
