Francis: *”Hits like a Ford Escort”*
Jones: *”Hits with a Ford Escort”*

Francis is officially DC’s personal hitman… Took out Stipe and now he’s waiting for that Jon Jones fight 😂

[alibongo]

Francis after the fight: "You have my respect Stipe. When I'm done, half of the heavyweight division will still be alive.
I hope they remember you"

[sportsfan_]

If Jones actually goes up to face Francis he deserves a ton of props.. Scariest fighter in UFC history coming off his best performance.

There maybe millions of people who look and are shaped like DC, but the Daddest man on the planet is one of a kind. Glad I got to meet him trying to cut down to 205 at 24 hr fitness

Francis is straight up cheat code. Feel for Stipe but can't help myself from being happy for Francis after his journey.

[Athedrivein]

DC living his best life saw his HW rival get brutality koed and now he may get to see jon get brutalized in front of him

[JovaniMiller]

It's crazy how DC predicted how stipe's second fight against francis was going to go and he was right to

[williamtehero]

DC is an incredible commentator and Personality! THANKS DC!

[casualmmafan]

International fight week 2022, “how many challengers can Francis knock out in one night”

[soldierofgod]

To beat Francis you have to do 30 things right . Never be overexcited or too calm, work the plan and not make one single mistake. It's a very tough matchup. Respect to stipe for fighting him twice and taking those shots and beating him once

[calvincalvin]

It’s the Usman effect. Like it or not the guy knows how to win

[kardave]

Good thing about Francis Ngannou is that he will defend the belt 3-4 times a year!

[Razear]

I think DC feels like he's living vicariously through Francis' win. Like a proud poppa seeing his son accomplish great things.

[Bosnae]

The only scary part is that Francis with his weight having a hand speed like he's welterweight. Even Brock looks awkward next to him bc he doesn't have that raw spring like reflexes. I think Stipe learned a lot from this rematch same as Francis from first loss. Whatever happens in future props to both of them, Francis for becoming a champ and to Stipe, man... what other heavyweight can take 20+ heavy shots to the head and still standing on his feet and not running from the fight.

[l.w.]

This was an awesome fight between two of the best. I'm so glad Ngannu won (well deserved) but much respect to Stipe as well.

[kardave]

Ngannou no longer has any holes in his game....unless someone can take him to those later rounds and avoid the thunderous punches in the process.

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates🔻

[LambSauceWill]

If I’m Jon Jones, I’m seriously working on my eye pokes to get the fight stopped and get paid so we can then have a second fight with an even bigger payday
