Couture questions Ngannou crossovers

“I know the UFC’s got too big [of] an ego to let that happen,” Couture told MMA Fighting. “That’s why the Fedor [Emelianenko] fight never happened [for me]. Because M-1 wanted to do a co-promotion and the UFC’s never going to let that happen.”

“I don’t see the champ in the UFC ever getting a shot at fighting the champ from PFL or any other organization for that matter, and that’s unfortunate,” Couture said. “That’s a shame that the fans are never going to get to see those type of matchups. That’s one of the flaws and issues in our sport right now.”

“UFC is still the biggest promotion in this sport. That’s why everybody is talking about those two heavyweights instead of the PFL right now or that pay-per-view that’s coming up in the PFL in October. We still have ground to cover. We’re headed in the right direction.”
