The Cameroonian MMA star Francis Ngannou faces the undefeated boxing icon Tyson Fury in a crossover boxing match this weekend. Dana White earlier showed his disbelief in this fight and called it a ‘Gimmick Fight.’ He was apparently unhappy with Ngannou’s decision to move on from the UFC.

After declining a multi-million dollar deal from One Championship, the fans heavily criticized Ngannou. One phrase that caught the eye of everyone is “Fumbled the bag.” Everyone trolled him using that phrase and presumed he wouldn’t land a convincing deal. Now, Francis Ngannou carries a bag that says “Fumbled the bag,” mocking the haters after getting paid a hefty amount to fight Tyson Fury. He would make more money in this boxing bout than he ever made in the octagon.

Ngannou was cut from the UFC due to his feud with Dana White and UFC matchmakers. Later, he signed a multi-million dollar contract with the PFL (Professional Fighting League). With this PFL deal and his money fight with Fury, Ngannou is living his dream. He is having the time of his life in Saudi Arabia before his professional boxing debut. He said leaving the UFC was one of the best decisions he had ever made.
