The former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou took the world by surprise after it was announced that he will be parting ways with the UFC, one of the biggest MMA promotions in the world. The UFC and ‘The Predator’ were on bad terms for a long time. And this year, Ngannou and the UFC failed to come to terms with a new deal and it was decided that they would part ways. A lot has been said since then with rumors of him fighting in the PFL or boxing surfacing on the internet.
While nothing seems to be certain at the moment, a potential exhibition between Ngannou and Tyson Fury is also something to look forward to. It is worth noting that the two agreed to fight back in April last year after Fury’s win over Dillian Whyte. However, nothing came from it.
