[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

PFL founder Donn Davis would fully support Francis Ngannou moving forward with another boxing contest. Ngannou, who made his professional boxing debut last Saturday in Saudi Arabia, is riding high after going the full distance with WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Obvious for it brings more awareness to pfl also they really don't have a marketable opponent either, so let him box & hope somebody builds their name @ pfl for a marketable fight

Francis should have signed to fight fury after he left the ufc instead of a new mma deal right away.

Luckily for him the pfl is cool with him boxing. But he could have been a free man if he hadn't moved so fast.

The boxing rumors of Ngannou vs Wilder or fury had been there for over a year.

Wilder would be ****** to take a mma fight, one leg kick would snap his legs in two

Wilder’s garbage and I really like Francis, but we realise wilder’s gonna crucify him?

francis leaves his chin well open, and fights square.

i wanna believe in him, but the entire top 10 do him inside the distance, including a Fury that trains for more than half a day

It's a boxing match brother.

Davis admits that Ngannou's options for big name MMA opponents are very limited.

The biggest fight for Ngannou, as far as MMA, is UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones. That scenario is extremely unlikely, because Jones is under a long-term contract with the UFC - and he recently suffered an injury that will keep him out of the cage for some time.

“I think the opponents in pure MMA are not that interesting right now. We’re just like the fans, we’re just like the fighters. We’re not like the other companies. ‘Let’s just do it because they’re our guys!’ There’s only one guy in MMA who is interesting right now for Francis Ngannou: Jon Jones. One guy. Everybody says, what about Stipe? Maybe. Give him a half a point — 1.5 guys, who are compelling," Davis said.

I'd be curious to see Anatoly Makykhin vs Ngannou too. Don't really care about Jones. He'll never sign on the dotted line and Dana won't let him either as long as he's under contract to the UFC.

If Wilder’s own legs cross each other and touch, they might well snap.

Tyson Fury is telling you over and over that he trained hard for 12 weeks but you won’t believe him? Is it because he showed up without his typical eight pack?

In defense of Wilder's legs, Michael "Venom" Page is an MMA fighter too. And Adesanya doesn't exactly have tree trunks either.
