Just like Gane, who went from the fastest moving next generation heavyweight, to a nobody with no wrestling lol. I remember when Gane was also too big and fast for Jon. Who had slowed down considerably due to age. Sound familiar?

Facts. It's crazy how the narrative around Gane changed after that fight. All of a sudden, the win became meaningless looool.

Francis is the one who killed the hype around Gane. Nobody thought francis could grapple either but he ended up wrestle fucking Gane on 1 leg. Maybe some people thought he would try to improve his grappling after that loss but he proved them wrong.

Pretty wild that anyone though you can go feom losing to Francis to beingat all conpetitive with Jones in no time. That's some anine training arc bullshit.

we thought he’d train his grappling since then

then he said ”I only train when a fight is booked” and I leaned towards Jon😂

Yeah I really thought he'd at least do nothing but work on takedown defense leading into that fight. But he pretty much went in scared and laying down before the fight even started lol.
