U -"He's a former champ and people know him"
"So is shogun doesn't mean beating him at this point would legitimize a prospect"
U -"you don't even know what a prospect is"
"So 4 years is a vet now"



English mofo, can you read it? I know you have short term memory loss and poor reading comprehension but considering we were initially talking about ngannou vs JDS I would think it would be obvious
He said prospect. You then respond with 4 years is a vet? A prospect is not a vet. :dahell:

And who said 4 years is a vet you dumb fukk?
:what: you did indirectly when you made that clumsy statement that I didn't know what a prospect was?


That's just you jumping to conclusions because you are a feminine bytch who loves to argue and bytch and complain all day.
I don't see any facts here these are just ad hominems with some projecting thrown in :beli:
Ngannou is a young fighter. An up and comer. A rising star. A prospect. So yes, it does make sense at this stage of his career to go against someone like JDS, who's obviously on the decline. It's let's the brass know that he's serious and not a fluke. That beating a former champ means he's ready. So causal s such as yourself who only check for CM punk can go hey this guy beat JDS and AA. KO'd them. He must be good. And like I said, there are no other fights at HW for Ngannou right now.
it's funny how you want to talk about educating ppl when you can't even read. In an attempt to clown me you have just got wrapped up in your own tomfoolery. Nothing here is relevant to my statement on this fight. You are just rehashing the same old talking point, it's actually a little sad.


I love how you mention shogun too because that's basically what he does. Fight guys like Corey Anderson and Villante. Him and JDS are basically gatekeepers now.
is this in dispute? I know what purposes he serves my point is in 2017 beating shogun doesn't mean shyt so u can't apply that bu bu but he's a name and ex champion malarkey any how.

In closing, Francis is on a meteoric rise not a chase sherman, beating the current jnr will not add to his lustre, this fight looks like it was designed to see if jnr can expose ngannou if anything

The genesis of this conversation was about jnr vs ngannou. The poster seemed to believe just being a name and ex champion was enough to give any upcoming fighter "the rub". I made a comparison that shogun is a name and ex champion if a prospect beat him in 2017 would that mean anything . He said I didn't know what a prospect was. As the conversation is originally about jnr/ngannou it was only appropriate to remind the clown that ngannou is only 4 years into his mma career. Last I checked that's not a veteran

No dummy. When I said you don't know what a prospect you assumed I meant Ngannou was some vet or whatever dumb shyt you were talking about. You don't know what a prospect because you seem to think a young fighter like Francis doesn't need to face a decling former fighter in JDS. Thats what prospect do moron. Beating guys like JDS and Shogun in 2017 doesn't mean shyt if say you are overeem or Gus. It does mean something if you are Francis. What do you keep babbling about some fukking chase sherman for idiot? You just contradict your own self. If Francis is on a "meteoric rise" then it makes sense to face the top and former champs. Hes beyond cans and low level competition unlike Sherman. Thus you don't understand what a prospect is. I hate I have to explain something so simple like this. :snoop: You are either trolling, just want to argue, or really that stupid

You want to talk emotions? Your post reads like someone operating with a high level of estrogen. Every 2nd word is a playground insult :mjlol:All the childish antics aside are we really arguing about the meaning of prospects now? I am almost certain if Silva was still in town Francis would have faced someone coming off a win. The way things are is just far too dangerous and he has all to lose. Whereas if JDS loses its "well he's 3-4 anyway he's washed". If he wins its damn what an upset = poor matchmaking.

Is JDS still elite though? I am not so sure. I think I explained the difference between Chase Sherman and francis. One guy is being touted as the next big thing so all his fights we expect squashes as a formality. The other is a blue chip prelimer, if he were to beat jnr he would get a rub. If ngannou were ppl would be like :russell:who is next? Try to keep up

Just Shut the fukk up. Ngannou wins he gets a title shot. He loses well he just wasn't ready. That's what prospects do. End of story
