Ngannou and McGregor had a tremendous career in the UFC. McGregor was the first simultaneous double champion in the UFC. Ngannou was the scariest heavyweight champion in UFC history. His strained relations with Dana White and disagreement on a new contract eventually led him to leave the UFC.

Ngannou’s name is synonymous with monstrous power in the combat world. Fans were very let down when Ngannou chose to exit the UFC. However, he has found a home at PFL.
