    For people who didn't watch the fight this is basically what happened Derrick Lewis back flared up and affected him and Francis was scared of losing his stamina so didn't want to throw punches.

    • @strikeout77777
      @strikeout77777 Před 6 lety +53

      there is more to it than just holding stamina , because if that was the case, Francis would have went all out punching in the 3rd. He got a reality check when he fought miocic, I don't think he ever got over that fight.

    I've never really been a fan of Darrick Lewis, nor a hater...just kind of indifferent. After this interview though I'm sold on him and have nothing but respect for his honesty. Despite his back issues he didn't BS about it and seems genuinely disappointed that he couldn't do more and that's hard not to admire. Here's to a healthy future and seeing him back to full form!

      @Milan D If Ngannou knocks Lewis out, he is the heavyweight goat for me.

    Remember the HW division from back in the days when everybody was on their prime. And of course with gear or without. Fedor, Alistair, Cro Cop, Werdum, Cain, JDS. It ruined the whole HW game now if they were still there.

    Uncle Dana if Derrick Lewis beat Ngannou and KO of the year Curtis Blades I think it's only right Stipe fights Derrick Lewis immediately for the belt

    If I’m UFC, I book Stipe vs Lewis for a co-main, Lesnar vs Cormier, and if Jones wants to move up to Heavyweight, do Jones vs Ngannou and if he doesn’t then do Jones vs Gustafson 2 for the LHW belt.

    Better to win a crap fight than to lose it. Lewis was hurting but tried to fight. Francis was afraid to throw anything.
