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
Then who should Francis be fighting? :jbhmm:

When is the Francis-JDS fight? I thought fighters were suspended for 6 months following a KO loss.

Doubt it as I have a training from 6.30pm EST-8:30

When is the next one?

I think Wednesday night of fight week for both big MMA and boxing cards you guys can start looking forward to me doing a fight preview and having it up by no later than Friday morning. I haven't decided how and when I wanna do the post fight if I want to do a post fight.

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
Getting a title shot for beating a dude coming of a loss with a 500. record in his last 6 is not how ppl were built pre WME. You are basically of the belief well junior is a name and ex champion so we good, totally eliminating the reality of his current standing in 2017. You scream "casual" all the time like somehow that makes you superior but your mindset is no different that one..

Struve then he can face the winner of wedrum/overeem or hunt/Lewis (depending on scheduling) en route to a title shot. The way it's currently set up if he gets a shot off of beating JDS I would say that's some Forrest griffin kinda booking

Oh really? People didn't get title shots like this pre WME? Connor didn't get a title shot off of beating journeymen Siver? Woodley didn't get one sitting out basically a year after beating botched weight cut gasteleum? Condit after beating Alves? Weidman after Munoz? Did I need to go on? You acting like JDS is coming off 4 loses and is on the verge of retirement. Once again since you are just incapable of comprehension, he's a top ranked HW ahead of Francis. He is still a test for Francis. If Francis beats him he's guaranteed a title shot. I call you a casual because you are one. You post like one and it hurts you which is why you always cry like a ho about it :heh: Now anymore stupid retorts that I can smack down with ease or are you finally done?

Struve is fighting Volkov keep up casual. And Francis needs a fight now and those guys aren't going to want a quick turnaround to fight him since their bouts are in July.
