It’s been more than a week, but the combat sports world still is abuzz with talk of Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou, which ended with the heavyweight boxing king escaping the former UFC heavyweight champ’s boxing debut with a split decision win in Saudi Arabia.
Since last week’s “Spinning Back Clique” episode, we’ve gotten some reactions from some prominent people, chief among:
- UFC CEO Dana White on Ngannou’s performance: “The fact that he went 10 rounds with Tyson Fury is crazy.”
- UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones on Ngannou’s impact: “I thought he did great. I’m glad the fight was competitive. Opens so many doors for everyone in the future.”
- PFL founder Donn Davis on Ngannou’s future: “I think the opponents in pure MMA are not that interesting right now.”
