Tyson Fury Fires “$10 Million” Shots at Conor McGregor for Saying Francis Ngannou “Made an Error” Leaving UFC

Five months ago when Conor McGregor appeared on Ariel Helwani‘s The MMA Hour, the Irish mixed martial artist declared that Francis Ngannou “made an error” by leaving the UFC. In McGregor’s opinion, the former UFC Heavyweight champion should have at least got “a belt under the belt“. While McGregor called the UFC “the pinnacle,” ‘The Notorious’ is of the opinion that Ngannou “kind of took the shine off of him” as he left the UFC.

In his response to those who believe Ngannou made a mistake by leaving the UFC, Tyson Fury recently branded the Cameroonian-French fighter “a genius” on his way “to make $10 million”. Here is what ‘The Gypsy King’ added.

According to Conor McGregor, Francis Ngannou left the UFC way too early. Speaking with Ariel Helwani, ‘The Notorious said, “Ngannou, I mean think of all he got. He’s getting the accommodation, getting everything sorted. He totally made an error, to be honest. Get a belt under the belt and then maybe start.” “It kind of took the shine off of him how he went. But I wish him well,” McGregor added.

While McGregor decried Ngannou leaving his beloved company, ‘The Gypsy King’ called his upcoming fight with ‘The Predator’ “a colossal event“. “[It’s a] colossal, colossal event. You’ve got me and Francis Ngannou here. Everyone said he was an idiot walking away from the UFC, and now he’s a genius – the guy’s about to make $10 million,” Fury announced. According to Fury, Saudi Arabia is taking over the game, and his fight with Ngannou occupies “a very special time in sports“.

“I’ve topped bills in Vegas, London – all over the place. You name it, I’ve done it, and now I get to do the world’s biggest stage,” Fury, who might fight Jon Jones next, excitedly added.
