Daniel CormierGUEST
I think...
Daniel CormierGUEST
I think that fight is as bad as Derrick Lewis versus Francis Ngannou back in the day.
Daniel CormierGUEST
And I was getting ready to fight after Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou.
Daniel CormierGUEST
They pretty much put me to damn sleep before I had to go try to become an heavyweight champion.
Daniel CormierGUEST
So yes, I do believe that that is why he was probably mad.
Sara SaffariGUEST
Right?
Chris WilliamsonHOST
You've got Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury fighting each other, a UFC legend up against the greatest living heavyweight fighter, potentially the greatest ever.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
And I don't think that that would have happened had KSI Logan Paul not happened and had Mayweather McGregor not happened.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
And if you track it all the way back, it was two British guys forever, ever, ever ago, like seven or eight years ago or something that kicked it all off.
Simon JordanHOST
We've seen other fighters that have had relationships with more than one person in the corner.
Simon JordanHOST
Tyson Fury famously with his father and the circumstances that evolved over the Nganou fight and other fights previously.
Simon JordanHOST
Is it too simplistic to say one voice in the corner or is
Duke McKenzieGUEST
that the correct order of events? That's the correct order of events.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
go.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
Tyson Fury against Francis Ngannou.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
October the 28th, 2023, the open Riyadh season.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
So it's exactly three years.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
Will we go back to it? Well, look, we had Day of Reckoning in December that year.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
We had Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury in the May of 2024 that was delayed a couple of months.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
Then we went Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou.
Gareth A. DaviesHOST
Then in the October of that year, we had Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.
Mike BohnHOST
My question is, Luke, what would it take for Surreal Gone to be considered the best heavyweight of this decade? So of the 2020s, and I'll give you a few more numbers here.
Mike BohnHOST
So the candidates are obviously Francis Ngannou, John Jones, Tom Aspinall, Surreal Gone.
Mike BohnHOST
John Jones in the 2020s has, or Francis Ngannou will start with two title fights, two title wins.
Mike BohnHOST
Stipe Miocic and Cyril Ghosn were the wins.
Mike BohnHOST
John Jones, same thing, two title fights, two wins.
Mitchell TinleyHOST
Good history of American wrestling and amateur wrestling, if you will.
Mitchell TinleyHOST
And yeah, he even talks about mixing it up with Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and coming close to subbing him and a very, very funny story in regard to that.
Mitchell TinleyHOST
But yeah, look, it's a tough task for Darcy Vendy.
Mitchell TinleyHOST
Don't let the record fool you.

Alex PolizziGUEST
Cause I, I think it's a fun story.
Alex PolizziGUEST
Um, This was, now, this was a few years back at Extreme.
Alex PolizziGUEST
Before Francis Ngannou really knew how to wrestle, he still outweighed me by a good 90 pounds.
Alex PolizziGUEST
But I was like, hey, I'm a wrestler.
Jed MeshewGUEST
But we just don't have any idea on when he's coming back.
Jed MeshewGUEST
Francis Ngannou is a fight sometimes sort of ish, but you know, like what was the last really significant win? I thought the, I stand by the head and for head of being an okay win, not like a good win, but like, it's, it's fine.
Jed MeshewGUEST
That was also like three years ago at this point, four years ago.
Jed MeshewGUEST
He's not an active MMA fighter in the way you would like.
JadenHOST
He's in the testing pool.
JadenHOST
John Jones, Aspinall, and Ngannou.
JadenHOST
All better.
JadenHOST
Ngannou.
JadenHOST
And two of them
BrightonHOST
already have wins over him.
BrightonHOST
I fucking love Ngannou, bro.
BrightonHOST
So do I.
Brandon HeathGUEST
Which is so cool.
Brandon HeathGUEST
Looked like Francis Ngannou punching out Alistair Overeem.
Brandon HeathGUEST
You just spoke gibberish to me.
Brandon HeathGUEST
I have no idea what you the hell
Chris WilliamsonHOST
Perfect, perfect, perfect example.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
Did you see what Gymshark did with Francis Ngannou where he broke that door? Switch it out, get the orange boy in there.
George MackGUEST
Go on,
Chris WilliamsonHOST
go.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
You see where Francis Ngannou broke a door? No.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
Right, so Gymshark... like fed a video onto Reddit that they created of CCTV of a person that was supposed to be Francis Ngannou, didn't turn out to be him, breaking the door of a corner shop the glass door that was closed.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
And they staged it, created it, used a stunt double instead of Francis for the bit where the glass breaks, put Francis back in, had him get shouted at by this fake shopkeeper in a fake shop front, fed it using a burner account onto Reddit.
Chris WilliamsonHOST
And then Reddit, it got picked up by Twitter.
