Francis Ngannou recently slammed Dana White in response to the Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO’s recent comments.
Ngannou left the UFC in January 2023, citing failed contract negotiations. “The Predator” had certain demands, including the freedom to compete in boxing at the same time, health insurance for the fighter, and other conditions, which the UFC did not agree to.
Ngannou soon joined the Professional Fighters League and also became president of PFL Africa. Ngannou made his promotional debut this past weekend at the PFL “Battle of the Giants” in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, against 2023 heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira. Ngannou showed a well-rounded skill set, taking Ferreira to the ground early and pounding him out to earn a first-round stoppage.
However, White had no words to thank Ngannou for winning the PFL title. During a recent Powerslap press conference, White said there is no one he wants to fight in the PFL other than Ngannou. He also said that the Cameroonian fighter is all about money and could have made more if he stayed in the UFC.
In this short clip he claims:
1. Francis is all about money and that’s why he left the UFC.
2. Francis would have made more money if he had stayed in the UFC.
Husband, don’t you realize that your arguments are directly contradictory? https://t.co/IftJOVpiYA

Ngannou then responded to White’s comments, criticizing the UFC president for not being able to bury the hatchet together. Ngannou claims to have gotten over his feud with White, but he doesn’t understand White’s obsession with him. The former UFC champion also claimed that his former employer has not yet paid him for his wins over Cyril Gane and Stipe Miocic.
“Dana is trying to put on a good face and try to patch things up in a losing position,” Ngannou told MMAonSiriusXM. “Dana is losing in this situation, but the one thing I can say is he understands it. I won everything.” I left…almost 2 years and the guy is still there…no matter what happens, he can’t handle me. He fought, he fought a great fight for his son’s memory, but the man can’t stand it. [it]. I don’t know what his problem is.
“But he can make everything up the way he wants. That’s his problem. I think he needs to make peace with himself. You just can’t find an agreement or something. He could have said there wasn’t… “We couldn’t come to an agreement”, but we wish him luck. That’s it, we move on with our lives. But I think the problem is that he is praying for my destruction. “I keep doing what I do, I keep rising, I’ve become more than what I was before in every sense of the word since I left the UFC, and he owes me a lot of money.” What are you talking about? ”
