Dana White has announced the release of Francis Ngannou from the UFC. White reported that Ngannou turned down several contract renewal offers the company was giving him. Ngannou who was vocal about the poor UFC pay vacated his Heavyweight Title after being released. The vacant Heavyweight Title will be fought between the returning Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane on March 4 in Vegas in the upcoming UFC 285 event.
With an established name you can make millions of dollars. How come midget boxer gervonta makes almost $10m per fight yet headlining a UFC ppv you only get 600k.
Was looking forward to Jon Jones na Ngannou. That said, Ngannou si alisema atapigana na Fury boxing. That match alone will sort him financially forever na itakuwa mob than contract ya ufc
Probably amepewa offer na WWE.
If he leaves UFC ,the heavyweight division will lose its hype coz Ngannou was supposed to rematch Stipe, rematch Gane, rematch Derrick Lewis and fight the Jones the goat.
Without Ngannou, the wow factor of heavyweight boxing which is knockout power and brute strength is gone.
Currently heavyweight aint interesting any more. The only interesting division in UFC is lightweight ya akina Charles Oliveira, Islam Makhachev, Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler etc.
WWE pays better than UFC. If WWE pays poorly like you claim how comes former MMA fighters like Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, Ronda Rousey, Matt Riddle have jumped ship and signed for the company?
