“Dana White So Petty”- Fans Side With Francis Ngannou After UFC Blurs Kamaru Usman’s T-Shirt Supporting Ex-HW Champ

After months of anticipation, the stage is finally set for the clash of two titans in combat sports: Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. Although this is not the first time a crossover like this has taken place inside the ring, never before have two greats from their respective divisions crossed paths in their prime.

Ngannou, who had been quite open about his boxing ambitions, quit the UFC following failed negotiations. Reportedly, Ngannou’s demand for a higher paycheck and the freedom to venture into the realm of boxing contributed to this. Since then, the two parties seem quite bitter towards each other. A fact that was once again evident in the Predator’s recent post.

For those unaware, Francis Ngannou’s friend and former welterweight king, Kamaru Usman, was recently spotted in a promo video for the UFC 294 event. During the filming, the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ was seen wearing one of the T-shirts featuring Ngannou’s name. However, in the final video, the t-shirt seems to have been blurred out, a fact that was earlier disclosed by the Cameroonian himself.

In his recent Instagram post, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou revealed the same lineup of merchandise aimed at promoting the fighter’s upcoming clash. On October 28., ‘The Predator’ is all set to lock horns with Tyson Fury And the heavy-handed striker is going all out on promotion. However, while marketing this, the fighter also used the opportunity to take a dig at the recent actions of his former employers.

However, this time Ngannou has hit two birds with one stone and it looks like fans are on his side.
