Francis
Ngannou recently went off on Dana White in response to the
Ultimate Fighting Championship CEOās recent comments.
Ngannou exited the UFC in January 2023 over failed contract
negotiations. āThe Predatorā had certain demands, including the
freedom to compete in boxing simultaneously, health insurance for
fighters and other stipulations to which the UFC didnāt agree.
Ngannou joined the
Professional Fighters League soon after and was also made the
chairman of PFL Africa. Ngannou made his promotional debut against
2023 heavyweight champ Renan
Ferreira at PFL āBattle of the Giantsā last weekend in Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia. Ngannou displayed a well-rounded skillset in taking
Ferreira to the ground early and pounding him out to earn a
first-round stoppage.
However, White didnāt have any words of appreciation for Ngannouās
PFL title win. During a recent Power Slap press conference, White
said no one wants to fight in the PFL except Ngannou. He also said
that the Cameroonian is all about money and that he could have
earned more staying in the UFC.
In this short clip he claims:
1. Francis is all about the money and thatās why he left the
UFC.2. Francis would have made more money if heād stayed in the
UFC.My good man do you not see that your arguments are in direct
conflict with each other? https://t.co/IftJOVpiYAā Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA)

Ngannou subsequently responded to Whiteās comments, criticizing the
UFC president for being unable to bury the hatchet with him. While
Ngannou claims to have gotten over the feud with White, he canāt
understand the latterās obsession with him. The former UFC champ
also claimed that his former employers are yet to pay him dues for
his wins over Ciryl Gane
and Stipe
Miocic.
“Dana is trying to make things up to buy a good face in the
position that he has lost,ā Ngannou told MMAonSiriusXM. āDana have
lost in this situation, and the only thing is that he can’t
understand it. I won everything. I leftā¦ almost two years, and the
guy is still out there… He can’t live without it. He can’t handle
me regardless of everything that happened. I’m not about him. I
went out there, did a fight, great fight for my son’s memory. But
the guy can’t stand [it]. I don’t know what is his problem,
man.
“But, he can make everything up as he wants. That’s his problem. I
think he needs to make peace with yourself. You could have just say
we didn’t find an agreement or somethingā¦ ‘We couldn’t come to a
deal, but good luck to him.’ That’s it. ‘Good for him’. And we
continue our life. What’s the problem here? But I think the problem
is that, he can’t handle this loss. I’m sure he been praying for my
downfall, then I’m just keep doing my thing, rising, since I left
the UFC, in any senses, I’m more than what I was. And which money
is he talking about? The money that he owes me?”
