The way jds looked when he kicked Francis and he almost went down was priceless . He was so scared lol like an animal that wouldn’t go down and literally went bat shit crazy
@@shafqatishan437 nah Derrick Lewis defeated Ngannou in the most boring UFC fight in history. You can clearly hear how much louder Lewis' strikes were too and Ngannou fighting Blaydes twice didn't put him to sleep but older out of prime Lewis slept Blaydes with an uppercut that didn't even fully extend.
@@mystermont2019 kicks to body or legs always sound louder. Francis was mentally down after the 1st Stipe fight. So much so that he was even scared to swing punches. If a rematch ever took place I don't think Lewis stands a chance. Nganou is extremely strong physically. Though he lacks cardio (which is improving), he makes it up with his KO power. I can't see anybody beating a healthy, mentally strong Francis, though I admit Cyris, Tai, Tom etc are crazy good.
@@shafqatishan437 No disrespect on you or anyone who favors Francis in a rematch against Lewis, but Francis will say what puts him in the best light in terms of reputation and anyone who believes his claims on why he lost the Lewis fight doesn't understand mma. Lewis came in with a back injury in that fight and Francis was already a well rounded fighter the moment he began his pro mma career he just wasn't refined. Even before coming into the UFC, Francis had 3- 1st round submissions on his record and in the UFC he got his 4th submission win again in the first round. He got up from Curtis's takedowns the first fight which keep in mind Francis is never 265 unless he fights Stipe. He was never fat in his previous fights and putting on weight to fight Stipe the first time was his coach's decision. Lewis however cuts down to 265 and in that fight Francis was 254. Francis tossing Gane around and sprawling against Stipe in the rematch had more to do with Stipe being 30 pounds lighter than Francis vs only 17 pounds in the first fight. Against Lewis who cuts down to 265 and is likely 270-275 when the bell rings inside the octagon, Francis can't grapple him as easy and even Curtis couldn't land 1 takedown in Lewis who was out of his prime. Also not only did Lewis never get taken down by Curtis, he put him to sleep, something Ngannou could never do despite fighting Curtis twice and the second time Francis landed to back of Curtis head when he dropped him. People think Curtis dipping his head added to the force that slept him against Lewis but that means Lewis didn't fully extend his arm so he also didn't use the full force of his punch and weight coming at your fist also takes away from the power of your strike because a force is coming back against your fist instead of a standing/still target. In general Lewis strikes always make louder sounds and seem more impactful than Francis'. Lewis is a bad style matchup for Francis and he postponed his rematch with Lewis twice. Francis claimed he wanted to celebrate his champion status in Cameroon but his win over the Stipe rematch was late March and Lewis claims he signed the contract to fight Ngannou and they were due to fight in August 2021 but Ngannou had yet to schedule the fight that's 5 months/20 weeks! Even if Ngannou had a full camp of 10 weeks thats another 10 weeks to celebrate in Cameroon and whatever else instead he claims he needed to do this and that but Lewis was ready and Ngannou delayed his rematch so much they made the intermin fight with Lewis and Gane which only happens when the champ refuses to defend or has to recover from injury way past the scheduled date to fight which Francis had yet to experience. His excuse was he needed to celebrate in his home country but he really was scared of Lewis. If he felt Lewis was an easy win he would have just gotten champ pay for his first defense and waited for Gane afterwards much later way past Jan 2022. Lewis would beat Ngannou in a rematch for sure since Lewis can't be taken down and Lewis' striking variation is more diverse and is faster than Ngannou's.
@Taylor H you could see JDS was doing this mistake against Derrick Lewis and JDS just got lucky and caught Lewis with the kick to the stomach as it seemed Francis studied that fight and did what Lewis should have done. This is actually that punch that won JDS the championship from Cain and foolish of JDS to think it would work on Francis as you could see JDS missed and fell into it like a baseball pitcher lol
@@emperordavid2044 how come Francis wasn't undefeated when he came to UFC and why did he lose to stipe and derrick and (cough cough) technically he lost to ciryl.
