Fury, Ngannou set for 'epic battle' on Oct. 28
www.espn.com
Boxing and UFC champions Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are set to fight Oct. 28 in Saudi Arabia, it was announced Tuesday.

This stuff is legendary. Dana was trying SO hard to line up Jon Jones for that fight to deny Ngannou from having his way. Literally some of the most petty shit ever.

The news is important because it shows a potential pathway for superstars to find success outside of the UFC. Given that Ngannou was left-leaning and refused to parley under traditional UFC contracts, this can be considered a great victory for worker’s rights in the most reductionist of ways: the workers (albeit, highly paid) stuck it to the shrieking corporation (the UFC).

Warning: Ariel takes

    Good for Francis! I like Bones as a GOAT but his post return bullshit is weak and what’s even ducking g weaker is the way he treats his partner and family. Guess you have to be so singularly focused to be a champion. I guess I just ain’t champ material
    ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I hope Francis murders TF! He’s a piece of work too. I don’t think he’ll be able to hang tho unfortunately and we will see a Conor Floyd 2 but with giants.

      Being this pragmatic about your own limitations is a superpower in 2023. Use your powers for good.
