I'm not sure exactly why they are going that route (not that interim belts even mean anything). Seems odd to make Francis wait on the sidelines for all that time, and then they move on when he's not able to defend his belt three/five months after he wins it.
Don’t get me wrong. Lewis deserves a title shot. And Gane was probably next in line after Lewis. But this is pointless.
Yeah the PPV isn’t going to sell well anyways. Nunes isn’t a huge draw and neither are Gane/Lewis. I don’t get why you sacrifice a title fight for a interim title fight only a month prior.
Also sacrificing two contenders is silly. You’re wasting either Lewis or Gane against Francis in this scenario. When you could’ve had them both fight him potentially. Gane/Francis is something I’d really like to see.
That’s laughable especially considering all the guys who said they would fight him on short notice. The UFC is afraid of him getting beat again lol
Sydney lockdown was due to end on Friday. Today it was extended for at least another week. Guess I’ll be streaming!
