Ever since the failed negotiation with UFC, Ngannou is most probably looking forward to a part of a new league. As a result, the gods heard his wishes. The competing MMA league is not looking to waste any time. It wants to prove that they are the best choice the Cameroonian fighter can ever make. The fighter does not want to have a moment of silence, even on a regular day.

Francis Ngannou must be on cloud 9!

UFC has several competitors in its field. However, none of it can be as uniquely deadly as one of their rising opponents, BKFC. The league Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is just as brutal as it sounds. Since the year 1889, the league has had its roots in America. The president of the League, David Feldman, tweeted publicly showing interest in the MMA fighter and his vacant career.

BKFC is very interested in Francis. We will certainly make a play for him. We feel like he is a great fit for BKFC and can bring amazing attention to our company,” said Feldman for Francis Ngannou. The reason why this league is deadlier than other UFC competitors is that they particularly target and make use of ex-UFC to play it smart and not raise different fighters from the scratch.
