Just to clarify. Francis was talking about not being paid enough. Then.... Jon made demands too high so he didnt have to fight Francis. Although Francis was currently signed and agreed to fight Jon, Jon refused to sign to fight Francis. So, Francis threatened to leave, jon basically said he should and applauded him for standing up for the MMA community and fighters pay. Then, Francis actually leaves. Immediately AFTER Francis leaves, Jon comes back. AFTER 3 YEARS OF FRANCIS RUNNING SHIT. Jon Jones: "Yea he left because he didn't believe in himself. He can't beat me. He doesn't believe he can beat me". Jon and many other helped manipulate that man to do what was right and boycott the UFC, and then turned the narrative that Francis was running from him.

Francis does nothing to help sell his own fights, does he not understand that he needs to market himself to earn a better pay day. Look at McGregor, he's lost 3 of his last 4 fights, but when he returns, he'll earn probably 4-5 times what Francis earned in his last fight through PPV numbers alone. Love him or hate him, Conor knows how to promote a fight, put people in the seats and sell PPV's.

@@breakdancerQ True Conor is the mega star in MMA, maybe not the best example to use... how about a guy like Nate Diaz?? Nate's PPV's were consistently better than Francis' PPV numbers... One of the reasons the UFC offered Francis so much to fight Jones is, they knew Jones name alone on the main event card would draw huge PPV numbers and knowing that, they could guarantee Francis $8 million. Blows my mind that the PFL would put Francis in charge of anything, if he can't understand something as basic as the need to promote himself and his fights to earn more money and recognition. You can't just show up and fight, it's a business and needs to be entertaining every day, not just on fight day.

[@bross1802]

Francis isn’t worth the hassle. He’s not a conor/Khabib level draw where his name gets non-MMA fans to buy a PPV. He’s not even an Izzy level draw where casual MMA fans will buy a PPV because he’s on it. His PPV numbers aren’t great. They’re good, but not something that like Khamzat or Bo Nickal with a few more wins can’t do. His numbers just aren’t there. He’s gonna make a bag at the PFL and it won’t be worth the return on investment for the PFL and his MMA career will fizzle out and if he’s lucky he will get a boxing match against like Andy Ruiz Jr. and then his career will be over.

4:19 - "what are your thoughts on the Francis -PFL deal, Dana?" Denia goes on passive aggressive rant till 10:10 acting how he isn't butthurt lmao.

[@lessscriptmoreyou7774]

He doesn’t even hide his disgust for Francis😂!! Such a scumbag!! Just admit you expected Francis to come back begging you😂😂😂😂😂

[@dannytran1587]

At the same time, he doesn’t hide his hate for a lot of people. He doesn’t even hide his hate for Aljo, WHO’S STILL IN THE UFC

[@significantstrike-nd8cs]

Yup. I understand theres things we dont know that might have happened behind closed doors but i mean, what the hell is his problem? Hes so butthurt over francis leaving, its halarious. He could just say “ hey we tried to make a deal, we cant offer what hes looking for and unfortunately, we had to part ways but we wish him well” instead he trashes francis whenever his name is brought up when before he was so high on the guy, lol.

[@mitchellhedges711]

Dana wants to make huge mega fights, he clearly wanted Jones VS Francis as did every MMA fan on the planet. As for Aljo…..laying on the ground for 2 rounds or more & never KOing ppl isn’t what it’s about, neither is ducking O Malley & not agreeing/signing to fight him….You can’t expect Dana to like when the ppl he makes stars & champions choose to make their own decisions & try & control the sport instead of do what they are told & fight. That’s just how it is

@@mitchellhedges711 that’s an immature way of thinking. Even at your parents home, once you reach that age of maturity, parents want you to be emancipated and fend for yourself. Like WTH? He’s the typical guy who hates to see growth in someone. You have to be able to do what he wants whenever 😴

Never forget when Jon kept running away from Francis because he needed more money in case Francis knocked him out and retired him.

[@imma5761]

Yeah because nothing says "being scared of francis" more than literally making gane tap in 2 minutes while francis had robbery decision. But jon who outwrestled Olympian, went into deepest waters with Gus, killed Shogun, beaten Machida and many many more HoF is definitely scared of dude with 3 minute cardio and 0 technique who got robbery win in his last fight.
