Francis Ngannou: “No, I will no longer fight for 287 million CFA francs or 344 million CFA francs. It’s over!”

[CamerExcellence] – Francis Ngannou’s victory on March 29, 2021, over Stipe Miocic who had beaten him two years earlier made the Cameroonian the heavyweight world champion of the UFC, the prestigious and demanding mixed martial arts league of the world. He thus became the strongest man in the world, since this MMA is a combination of several martial arts. This also increases the amount of his value.

In an interview with ESPN on 13 January 2022, the Cameroonian champion said he would no longer fight for a certain amount. He and his team are working to this end. “No, I will no longer fight for 287 million CFA francs or 344 million CFA francs. It’s over!”It’s over!” I accepted this fight for personal reasons. Because I want to make sure that, no matter how fair it is, I can argue that I have accomplished the eight fights,” said the UFC champion. He also says he doesn’t feel as valued as other UFC fighters who have won the same belt.

In 2017, Francis Ngannou signed a five-year contract with the UFC for eight fights. The defence of his belt against Ciryl Gane on 23 January 2022 will be his eighth fight in the cages of the American organisation. Should he lose at UFC 270, he will be free of his contract within 90 days. If he wins, he will remain champion and will have to defend his title again.

In this interview, it appears that Francis Ngannou wants to start a professional boxing career with the UFC by his side: ” Let’s be honest, I think whatever event I’m going to be in if the UFC is involved, it’s going to be even bigger. There’s no doubt about it. So yeah, if I boxe, I’d like the UFC to be by my side. »
