Damn Francis! It really is just stipe, dc , and Francis in that division right now. Hope stipe beats dc so we can see a rematch and if Francis has actually worked on that 5 rd gas tank and wrestling. Just goes to show how good stipe is and Francis as well. I have a feeling Francis would ko dc if they fought even though dc is Olympic caliber wrestling. Dint want to see him go out like that.

Dc would maul him easy

Francis still has sh!ty ground defense

Okay fight card, didn't really have a bunch of fighters I am invested in.

Francis make quick work of JDS. Agree with the comments that him vs DC is the much more interesting match-up.

Benavidez has done enough to get a title shot, but with Cejudo out with injury who knows if that will happen.

 

[Big Boss]

Might as well let him fight cormier

This

 

[The axe murderer]

May be the hardest hitter ever in mma

 

[Strapped]

Cormier will get him on the ground & pound him out or submit him

Drake Curse activated

Is that still a thing?

Drake is an NBA champion.

Who are some others that could be in the convo?

School a breh.

School a breh.

As far as HWs go Shane Carwin and Derrick Lewis come to mind immediately. I know Jeremy Stephens is pretty heavy handed, Melvin Guillard at one time, Fedor also. Francis is definitely up there

Edit- Forgot about Dan Henderson, Brett Rogers, and Mark Hunt

Mark Hunt, Igor Vovchanian, Cro Cop for kicks, pedro Rizzo and Pat Berry low kicks, Carwin, Anthony Johnson at LHW but imo the hardest hitter pound for pound is Melvin manhoef..... That was a MW who knocked out Mark Hunt..... GOING BACKWARDS. And Hunt still had a solid chin. He had a glass chin but man was insane

Drake is an NBA champion.

Drake has a KD and Steph Curry tattoo. That overpowered his Raptors fandom.

Lombard could crack but his career was
Lawler at his best was a tank
Takanori gomi had stone hands. Todd Duffee had that potential, he has the fastest HW knockout in UFC history
Paul Daley could hurt you with any strike. Jake Ellenburger was explosive.
Yvel could hit hard as well as Houston alexander.
Hendo got that H bomb
Ubereem's knees are the stuff of nightmares. Won K-1 with those

Yeah stipe and dc most likely still beat him but with that power you just don’t know. Also we haven’t seen any wrestling form him I’m sure he’s gotten better. As good as stipe/dc? No but still. Either way he deserves a title fight next. I still think he will be champ by the time he’s 34. I don’t see stipe fighting a lot longer and dc won’t fight after this year.
