What was said
"It just wasn't. Francis Ngannou fighting a dude who was basically a 205-pounder who wasn't even that good. It was cool to see Francis back in MMA but then after the dust settles, you're like, who did he really just knock out though?"
The hosts heavily criticized Netflix's MVP fight promotion featuring Francis Ngannou and Nate Diaz, calling it amateur due to poor production choices like black canvas instead of white and weak opponent matchmaking. They argued Netflix cannot compete with UFC unless they build talent from the ground up rather than relying on aging stars, noting UFC controls the underground talent pipeline through exclusive contracts.
