Francis Ngannou Returns Fire
Francis Ngannou caught wind of White’s comments and he fired back on Twitter.
What is your problem with me?
1. I completed my contract, was a free agent, and chose to walk away. you didn’t release me
2. I hate taking risks? that’s why I defended my title to fulfill my contract with no acl or mcl?

I’m finally getting paid and respected, and have a deal that’s fair and equal for all parties. Why are you so against me being free and happy?

“What is your problem with me?

“2. I hate taking risks? that’s why I defended my title to fulfill my contract with no ACL or MCL?
“3. The reason I fought three times in three years is because you wanted to control my deal and signs a new one. And freeze me out. ‘I owe these guys three fights a year.’ Isn’t that what you say? What happened? I always asked for & never said no to any fight in the 3 years.

Ngannou won’t be competing inside the PFL cage until mid-2024. He wants to have a boxing match later this year before returning to MMA action.
