Former UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov recently spoke to Sky Sports about this. As Eagle FC’s promoter, he had his own input on the situation.
Dana White didn't enter the Octagon to wrap the UFC Heavyweight Championship Belt around Francis Ngannou's waist and now this. I can't remember the last time he didn't attend a PPV press conference. https://t.co/qKqKlXWd01

He said (h/t Sky Sports), “I don’t know. Someone told me he went to the rest room or something like this. I don’t know, honestly. I don’t want to go in between these two guys, I think they’re going to take care of this themselves. In my position, even if I have in my promotion someone I don’t like and I’m supposed to put a belt on him, this is business. I’m going to go, put the belt on him and leave. This is my opinion.”

White has, however, provided an explanation. According to him, he had to go backstage to deal with something. While he didn’t specify what was going on backstage, White mentioned that he was in contact with Ngannou all week.
