      Conor was the exception because Dana couldn’t deny how big fighting Floyd was at the time, Dana and UFC won’t let others do the same when they’re under contract, I’m sure if Francis had been allowed to cross over to boxing whilst still under the ufc banner he would have. The UFC like to control everything, contracts, fights, fighters pay and they keep everything in house, it’s not a case of not wanting to do it with the UFC, rather having no choice to do it without them.

    Nate made less of a mistake because he was past his prime. Francis absolutely destroyed his career. What these people don't understand is that all these lanes are open from Conor, what they don't realize is he is STILL with the ufc. Don't get it twisted, knowledge is the power and these guys are signing deals in ignorance. Use you're talent to get you to the table, use you're brain to run it when you get there. All Francis had to do was beat Jones, then say "I want to do dey boxing" and they might not have let him or maybe they would with sharing profits. Now though, the boxing promotions will eat him alive worse than Dana. Dana was the friend you gotta watch but he keeps the rest of the ones you can't see from hurting you.......back to diggin for diamonds or crawl back and work for pennies bud. Welcome to America

    The UFC allowed Conor to step outside his contract to box Floyd and earn an astronomical purse that set him up for 10 lifetimes. So not surprising HE thinks the UFC is "the pinnacle". Too bad Conor doesn't instead call the UFC out for not allowing other fighters on the roster (like Francis) to step outside THEIR contracts and box.

    Well this age well! Like an ice cube on a midday summer's pavement.
    Co man speaking in loyalty for the Co he's connected to, obviously Ngannou wasn't paid his worth, so he walked, good for him.
    Rumoured to be 10m + PPV, Ngannou earned for fighting Fury 48hrs ago, with other big boxing matches coming, says he made the perfect decision.
    UFC should've never let Ngannou go, for he is the best fighting man on the planet, Fury wouldn't last a round in the cage with him, nor would Mayweather with Mcgregor.
    Same with a street fight, for MMA fighters have just too many weapons in their Arsenal for a boxer.

    Francis was attempting to move with little to no momentum. He isn't a household enough name in order for people to get excited just by hearing it, hell, almost no one was really up in arms about seeing him leave the UFC even though he was one of the most monumental strikers the sport has ever seen. Not to mention, it's hard to see him being competitive against Deontay Wilder, the boxing equivalent of Francis who would only have the absolute advantage. At least with Mayweather and McGregor, Conor had the momentum of being double champ, his unique persona drew a lot of attention, and Mayweather was getting past his prime so there was enough of a question mark in terms of the matchup.

    LOL easy to talk about your loyalty and love for UFC while doing damn nothing, refusing to fight, avoiding doping testing. Not even caring enough to be involved in TUF properly, although it's just a reality TV show, the thing Conor should have done effortlessly. Easy to stay loyal when you are allowed to box outside UFC while Ngannou doesn't. The best heavyweight in the world should be just thankful for a chance to train in UFC PI... what? What's next, fighting for food? Damn I love how Francis proved all the Dana's bootlickers wrong. He already secured a big pay for Fury fight regardless of the outcome, the thing that always mattered most to people like Dana and Conor.

      You are naive to think that it was not based on money alone. Give him a contract for 25million a fight on his next fight and he will sign on the dotted line. You think boxing is going to give him a contract that helps other boxers? Give me a break. Francis wants that huge huge payday which he believes he wouldn’t get with the UFC. It’s always about the money. Francis is about Francis.

      He's old, his knee is done, he's a power heavyweight, and he is a bit lazy from all reports. So this is the LAST CHANCE to make as much as he can. Francis thought the Furry fight would be there, but its not there anymore so he should have stuck with the UFC.
