After Francis Ngannou‘s departure from the UFC, fans eagerly awaited the news regarding his next career move. Finally, on May 16, the suspense came to an end as it was officially announced that ‘The Predator’ had signed with the Professional Fighters League. However, the reaction from fans has been a mixed bag, with some expressing excitement at the prospect of seeing Ngannou back in action while others have voiced their discontent with his decision to join the PFL. The Cameroonian-French fighter left the UFC after talks with Dana White fell through. Ngannou had presented a series of conditions, which the promotion ultimately declined to accept. Since then, tensions have been high between both parties, ultimately leading to Ngannou’s departure from the UFC.
This turn of events has left MMA fans worldwide feeling let down. They had eagerly anticipated a showdown between Ngannou and Jon Jones. However, with ‘The Predator’s move to the PFL, the likelihood of that matchup happening anytime soon has diminished, leaving fans disappointed. After the Cameroonian-French joined PFL, the UFC boss mentioned that the deal did not make any sense for him. Ever since then, the verbal war has continued between the two like never before. Now, Ngannou has indirectly mocked Dana White once again.
