Comments Thread For: Frank Warren Says He Plans to Meet Francis Ngannou About Working Together

Still wouldn't sign with warran rather sign with Bob arum who's been known to disrespectful to MMA as a whole

He's disrespectful to the sport that hasn't shown Ngannou any respect? He just made probably 10x more than he's made in 2 UFC championship fights combined, I think he'll get over it.

I like that matchup too. Wardley has looked very vulnerable at times (my mind goes back to the Molina fight) but he's stopped some established veterans (Webb , Molina, Martz) and younger fighters with decent pedigree (Gorman and Adelaye). He has athleticism and power.

Wardley also has nothing to lose. He could use the boost to his international profile, and his vulnerability would make for a potentially entertaining fight. I've seen people say that Ngannou's biggest advantage is his unorthodox approach due to not being a pro boxer. Wardley is a bit unpredictable himself, and has shown willingness to swing for the fences if he or his opponent are in trouble. It's a match-up that could have many tense moments. He's also a fighter who's still developing, unlike Fury/Wilder/AJ. Wardley could surprise Ngannou in ways that the top guys cannot.

I don`t think Ngannou needs Warren to promote him.

Ngannou is enough promoted.
