Conor McGregor and Francis Ngannou
Francis Ngannou leaving the UFC has truly been the talk of the town. So much so that the heavyweight champion leaving has triggered a reaction from the superstar Conor McGregor himself.
After the first fight event of 2023, Dana White took to the press conference to announce that UFC’s heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou was leaving the organization. The fighter and the promotion have been in contract discussion for the past two years and haven’t been able to shake hands on a deal.
Conor McGregor in one of his recent Instagram stories wrote about the ‘The Predator’ leaving the promotion. “Correct representation is imperative. Seek Paradigm Sports,” wrote the Irishman who is currently the highest-paid fighter on the roster.
The Notorious One seemed to have hinted at the hardest puncher to switch managers and join hands with his management. McGregor’s Paradigm also has champions, Leon Edwards, and Israel Adesanya under their wing.
Francis Ngannou wanted to follow Conor McGregor’s blueprint
The historical bout between Floyd Mayweather and McGregor inspired several UFC fighters to want a piece of the boxing money. Ngannou, no different from any other stars from the UFC organization wanted to start a new venture in boxing.
However, the strict UFC contract clauses did not allow the fighter such leverage. Ngannou was in dispute with Dana White and the promotion for not allowing him to earn his own source of income outside the UFC. Ngannou was in talks with Tyson Fury for a super fight.
The odds of the Ngannou vs Fury fight happening are higher now given that the Cameroonian fighter is free to do what he wishes. In a recent exclusive interview with Ariel Helwani, Ngannou spoke about his boxing dreams still being alive.
