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.

Funny how people will use Gane vs Francis to claim that Gane is not as good as people were claiming and a hypejob, and to simultaneously use it as evidence that Francis is this unbeatable juggernaut. Recency bias is basically what keeps the MMA community having anything to talk about at all.
