Francis Ngannou has taken a huge stand for his future as he's currently locked in a battle of negotiations with the UFC. He currently has no plans to fight until he has a new contract and is free from injury.
There is a chance that UFC 270 was his last fight in the promotion. In a battle like this, it's only fair to consider that kind of possibility.
Francis Ngannou was recently on The MMA Hour where he was asked about UFC 270 potentially being his last fight in the promotion. The heavyweight champion did not hold back.
“If this is the end, man, I’m happy. From where I came from, I have done a lot. Some people might not see that. But I have done it, and I am very happy about that. I’m proud of myself man. That might be my ego, but I’m proud of myself and of what I have achieved. I don’t want all this to like, take what I have, or to change me and my principles. My principle is still the same as day one,” Ngannou said (h/t MMANews.)
Francis Ngannou has achieved many things in his life and becoming the UFC heavyweight champion is only a small part of that. His journey leaving Cameroon serves as an inspiration to many.
The situation with the UFC is a very difficult one and Francis Ngannou could be risking his future in MMA. The situation is a very interesting one and will be important for the future of athletes in the organization.
