After Joe Rogan Expresses Disappointment With Dana White’s Decision, UFC Gets a Warning for Francis Ngannou Exit: “This Is a Bad Move”

Francis Ngannou is undoubtedly one of the most gifted MMA fighters. However, he chose fit to deny the contract extension from the UFC. Since then, the UFC and Dana White lost one of the most talented heavyweight fighters to set foot inside the Octagon. However, UFC Boss Dana White wants the fans to believe it’s ‘The Predator’s loss to leave the promotion. But, Joe Rogan’s friend and UFC enthusiasts believe the UFC is the one at a loss. Even Rogan himself agrees that the entire MMA world is deprived of the most exciting fight because of this controversy.

Francis Ngannou is still the best in the world

Famous stand-up comedian, Andrew Schulz, weighed in on Ngannou’s recent UFC exit. The heavyweight champion declined a contract extension from White to complete his tenure at the promotion. And wants to explore his options as an independent contractor with other promotions to see how it works. However, Schulz believes this is not a wise move from the UFC’s perspective, to let go of their “baddest man”.

Schulz stated in an episode of FLAGRANT, “The UFC didn’t come to an agreement… I think that the UFC regrets this.” “I think this is a bad move”

And explained, “you don’t ever want to lose your heavyweight champ. That is the baddest man on the planet”

“If he goes to another organization… as UFC you can’t say you have the baddest man on the planet anymore.”

Furthermore, he added that if Ngannou does take part in another promotion, they can claim to have the deadliest MMA champion.

Joe Rogan spoke about the loss of the MMA audience

Joe Rogan recently gave his take on Ngannou’s exit. The podcaster is a huge fan of The Predator’s abilities. However, hated that MMA fans are deprived of his fight against Jon Jones. Because that would’ve been a perfect fight to shift priorities for both parties. Even Comedian Andrew Schulz spoke along the same lines.

Schulz said “If I’m the UFC, I roll the dice one more time. I say ‘take whatever you want for the Jon Jones fight. We’ll give you one’ and you don’t want to deal with Francis anymore”

“if Francis Ngannou goes to the PFL, he goes to Bellator. Those organizations have the greatest MMA fighter in the world. The most dominant one and the most badass person.” 

However, Ngannou hasn’t stated his next move yet. But, announced his plans to potentially enter the boxing ring before coming back to MMA.
