Funny enough I do know that KR vs adashev was a rare double pullout. KR got the flu and adashev got injured

This is another great PPV card but after this one, they seem to be going downhill.  I know that there is still time but not very promising.

Idk. People saying 271 is trash but it’s really not that bad. I get there’s not a ton of name value but there’s a ton of good fights

Anyone notice how Francis always lands a death blow on an already dead man?


Watch Overeem's ******* legs when he kill shots him






Watch the last left that hits his unconscious head



Another kill shot on a dead man

---------------------------------------------

Francis is just such a nice guy, too. I wonder why he does this.

It’s funny cuz the punch while they’re unconscious likely does more damage than the actual ko punch lol

Not trying to be rude @ ardndc11

But I feel I shouldn't have to explain that Francis is a very chill guy, if you have ever watched anything on him outside the cage.

I think Fran is an ok guy lot of weird rumors about him would not go so far as "Nice".
If you choose to fight him he wants to ko you think his limited skill just goes till ref says stop.
When the adrenaline is pumping **** happens, chuck did same thing that scum sickle rampage was notorious for it even having to be pulled off.
I honestly hope he gets his dream of boxing wins some easy matches thats what he wants mma is not for him.
If you wanna go way back to GSP, BJ, and Sean Sherk Ken Shamrock, all standup guys or appeared to be had lots of friends but on game day they were mean.
This is true of all high level sports at least the ones that matter aggression equals success!

Yeah I don’t buy into the rumors of him being a **** or anytbing. He seems really humble and chill. Hitting an opponent when they’re ko’ed is just something that happens in the sport. Is it nice? Hell no, but that’s just how it is. In Francis’s case, it’s a little scary to watch just cuz of how hard he hits but that’s just the sport

To quote Derrick Lewis, “That’s Herb Dean’s fault.”

What weird rumors or stories has anyone heard of Francis, that don’t stem from a previous coach or the UFC, that make him seem like a jerk? 

For example why did Lewis say **** Francis at his last press conference. Curious to know.

Also it happens with Francis more often I think because of two factors. He wins mostly by KO, not TKO, and he is so quick the refs are usually not in position to stop it.
