Ngannou moving to PFL is honestly good for the MMA sport as a whole. UFC having a monopoly on MMA can cause a lot of issues and you can already see it with everyone being the same Reebok shorts, having very 'safe' entrance songs etc. Competition is what will keep the sport growing. People getting angry at Ngannou for leaving is honestly petty as hell, just let the guy do his thing!

[@jaylay9524]

His struggles as a child were not risky. He was fighting for his life. He had nothing to lose. NOW, he has everything to lose. And in the HW division, champions don't stay champions for long. It's a volatile division. He wants a big payday because he knows that he won't have a Fedor like run in the UFC. It just doesn't happen. Boxing is low risk. No one expects him to even be competitive. It's a free payday. PFL is much lower risk than the UFC. His decision isn't good or bad...it just is what it is. Objectively...he took a lower risk road over fighting for legacy.

[@COJY06]

Just to clarify. Francis was talking about not being paid enough. Then.... Jon made demands too high so he didnt have to fight Francis. Although Francis was currently signed and agreed to fight Jon, Jon refused to sign to fight Francis. So, Francis threatened to leave, jon basically said he should and applauded him for standing up for the MMA community and fighters pay. Then, Francis actually leaves. Immediately AFTER Francis leaves, Jon comes back. AFTER 3 YEARS OF FRANCIS RUNNING SHIT. Jon Jones: "Yea he left because he didn't believe in himself. He can't beat me. He doesn't believe he can beat me". Jon and many other helped manipulate that man to do what was right and boycott the UFC, and then turned the narrative that Francis was running from him. If Jon can beat him or not is irrelevant. Thats LITERALLY what happened 🤣

The way that Dana treated Francis was disgusting. Dana scheduled an interim heavyweight title fight because Francis asked for one additional month so he could have a full training camp to prepare for his first title defense. Meanwhile, he’s going to let Jon Jones hold the heavyweight title for nearly 2 years without defending it. The fact that Dana asked Francis to take a title defense without a full training camp is unreal. The level of disrespect he showed that guy is insane.

[@hvaldi31]

Francis doesn’t like taking risk. He beat Cyril Gane easy with two blown knees. Dana white isn’t into “gimmick” fights. Helped promote mayweather and Connor. Sounds like someone is salty because their heavy weight champion walked away and is now making more money…

[@Abruzzo333]

Easily? He arguably lost to Cyril Gane.....#2. He was completely opposed to Mayweather McGregor, once it became obvious the fight was going to happen and the amount of money involved, he reluctantly put his promotion behind it. He'd be stupid not to. What is your point LOL? ....#3. Doesn't sound salty at all, he was asked his opinion and he gave it - unfiltered as he always does. Francis is not a draw. Nobody cares what he does in these bum organizations. Doesn't matter if he's making more for one fight, in the long run, leaving the UFC will prove to a very dumb career/legacy/business move for him.

[@jamsmaty5624]

@rlmz00 Francis is not an active fighter like the rest he fights once a year and holds up the division and wants to be paid 10 million a fight He does not bring anything to the company if he does not fight often so there is no reason for UFC to keep him and pay him silly money and give in to his tantrums He is a good fighter but he literally would take a year off even after a 20 second KO in a fight

He meant he hasn't read the contract, but every reporter is reporting on it as if they have copies emailed to them.

I also know the entire roster of the PFL and can tell you that Francis doesn't want to fight them. 3. Dana White after Francis sent Stipe to the shadow realm ==> "If I'm Jon Jones I'm thinking about moving down to 85" "You can say you want to fight but do you really want to fight?" "Francis wants to fight all the time! I love it" 4. Dana White after Francis had the audacity to do his thing and walk away as the champ ==> "Francis never wanted to fight. He barely fought over the last 3 years" 5. Dana White a while ago when asked if he would venture into female MMA ==> "I would never do it" Fantastic business man, he built something outstanding, no debating this. He's just emotional and self-centered, which is usually one of the side effects of being a go-getter. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
