TORONTO – There wasn't some grand plan behind the UFC's decision to pull a pay-per-view headliner and put it on ESPN's streaming platform. According to UFC President Dana White, the promotion just wanted to make a good impression on its new broadcast partner by offering Henry Cejudo vs. T.J. Dillashaw.
Francis Ngannou said he asked for a lot of things from the UFC during a long contract negotiation period. But the former UFC heavyweight champion said he ultimately decided that what the UFC was offering didn't afford him enough freedom.
UFC president Dana White announced on Saturday that the organisation and Ngannou had parted ways. Speaking on Ariel Helwani's MMA Hour show, Ngannou said he rejected a UFC deal to preserve his "freedom". "It doesn't matter how much [money] is in that contract, I am not free," said Cameroon-born Ngannou, 36.
Francis Ngannou outlines his three demands which UFC rejected during talks. Francis Ngannou had three keys demands when he was negotiating for a new UFC contract: health insurance for fighters, a fighter advocate at board meetings and a new sponsorship deal.
“We are giving up the right to match. He can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. We offered Ngannou a deal that would make him the highest paid Heavyweight of all time. He turned it down.”
UFC President Dana White told ESPN's Laura Sanko on Wednesday that he didn't put the title belt on Francis Ngannou following his victory over Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 because he left immediately after the fight to address something backstage, though he didn't specify what required his attention.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou says wanting "freedom" - not money - was the reason behind his departure from the promotion. UFC president Dana White announced on Saturday that the organisation and Ngannou had parted ways.
Speaking on Ariel Helwani's MMA Hour show, Ngannou said he rejected a UFC deal to preserve his "freedom". "It doesn't matter how much [money] is in that contract, I am not free," said Cameroon-born Ngannou, 36. "I have no power. I hand all the power over to you guys [the UFC] and I don't want that to happen.
Ngannou's split from the UFC comes after more than a year of contract disputes between the two parties. UFC president Dana White announced the news at a press conference on Saturday in the immediate aftermath of UFC Fight Night.
Ngannou was still UFC heavyweight champion when contract talks collapsed once the African fighter said his demands for health insurance and personal sponsorships were rejected. UFC president Dana White stripped Ngannou of the belt in January.
Ngannou officially became a free agent in January when he and the UFC could not reach an agreement on a new contract following the expiration of his previous contract in December. Ngannou had previously been vocal about his displeasure over his fight purses, leading to an increasingly bitter dispute between the sides.
Ngannou said he felt like the UFC had a one-track mind in terms of negotiation, saying he felt like he was "getting slapped in the face by money" and had other considerations as well. Ngannou said he doesn't have a set plan on what's next but would like to box and then go back to MMA at some point.
