“He Was Saying This Same BS About Jon Jones 2 Years Ago” – Dana White’s Latest Update on Francis Nagnnou Situation Has UFC World Disappointed

Not every negotiation between the boss and fighters goes well. And this was exactly the reason that turned Francis Ngannou into a free agent. Ngannou was at the peak of his career, reigning as the heavyweight champion when he left the world’s biggest MMA promotion.

‘The Predator’ took such a huge step after several negotiations with the boss failed utterly. The former heavyweight champion kept a few conditions in front of Dana White, which included increased pay, insurance for fighters, clarity on his contracts, and permission to fight outside the promotion. White was not ready to submit to any of the conditions put forth by the Frenchman. At the moment, the UFC boss has clearly mentioned that Ngannou won’t be returning to the organization as he is difficult to deal with.

 Fans react to the comments of Dana White

Dana White was talking on the Pat McAfee show, during which White was asked if Ngannou would be back to the UFC. As an answer to the question, the UFC boss said, “No. We worked with this guy [Francis Ngannou] for two years, we tried to get him a fight. He’s absolutely impossible to deal with.“

White added, “He’ll never be in the UFC again. So, he made his decision – we worked hard, man. One of my guys, Hunter Campbell [Chief Business Officer], who works for me, must have done 75 dinners with his guy [Ngannou], trying to get him on board. We offered him a lot of money, showed him nothing but respect. We wanted to keep him, and that ship has sailed.“

Some fans were completely disappointed after listening to White.

“Bro be a businessman wtf? If he wants to come back under terms favorable to both parties, why just ban him? Man’s is being petty.“

 Another fan called Dricus Du Plessis “the real African king.”

 “Who needs Francis when you have the REAL African king, Dricus Du Plessis”

 One of the Instagram users pointed out how White said the same about Jones. “He was saying this same BS about Jon Jones 2 years ago…”

“Jon Jones will never fight in a main event ever again” -“ women will never be in the UFC,” another Instagram user mocked White.

 Another one mentioned how the UFC boss does this all the time. “Dana does this all the time, will devalue tf out of anyone who doesn’t want to play ball”

 One of the Instagram users commented: “Who needs Ngannou when you have the goat… Raul Rosas Jr”

 One fan was totally on the side of Ngannou. “When you have standards and When they can’t control you they label you ” hard to work with””

The possibility of a fight between Jon Jones and Ngannou

When the news of Jon Jones‘ return to the new division was out, fans were thrilled to watch Jones lock horns with Ngannou. However, their fight never came to fruition, and ‘The Predator’ eventually left the promotion. Nonetheless, many still hope that Ngannou will get back to the UFC as Jones did. At the moment, the fans have no choice but to wait to find out if ‘The Predator’ will be back or not.

Who do you think would prevail in a fight between Jones and Ngannou?
