Show Notes
Francis Ngannou — the king of defying the odds, betting on himself, and doing the unthinkable — has done it again. After losing a razor-thin decision to boxing's lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia, the former UFC heavyweight champion is now holding all of the poker chips that the UFC brass wishes they could. To react to this madness, Ariel Helwani, Petesy Carroll, and Chuck Mindenhall discuss shocking performances from both Ngannou and Fury, how Ngannou (finally) secured a win for MMA in the boxing world, why the world is now Ngannou’s oyster, interest in a rematch, and more.
