Ngannou’s potential new contract with the UFC fell through due to breakdowns in negotiation. It came as a shock for combat fans when the news of Ngannou leaving the promotion was released. However, the fighter had been publically sharing his struggles with the UFC for a while. According to Ngannou, there were certain demands that UFC was unable to meet, which ultimately led to the impasse. Similarly, UFC President Dana White, too, shared his thoughts on the situation. However, this led Conor McGregor to give the heavyweight fighter some precious advice.

Having a team with knowledge of the legal and management aspects of the sport can be beneficial in situations like this. McGregor, for example, has seen great success in terms of earning money and securing sponsorship; thanks to his management team at Paradigm Sports Management. Other notable athletes also managed by Paradigm include former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, Jiří Procházka, and UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards.
