Francis Ngannou is the current heavyweight champion in the UFC. Most fans agree that he’s one of the most talented fighters, among all divisions of the promotion. Because of his ability to land powerful strikes while being agile and sturdy on his feet. However, UFC Boss Dana White and he are not on the best terms. ‘The Predator’ is out injured, but confessed about his poor relationship with the UFC head honcho, mainly due to his contract. Therefore, his recent picture on the occasion of the New Year made a lot of things clear to fans.

Fans speculated Ngannou’s move to PFL after his mother posed wearing a PFL shirt at a family gathering. Many fans thought this was a subtle hint from Ngannou, about his future. Because his relationship with the UFC doesn’t seem to get better anytime soon.

  • Imagine how lopsided an Ngannou PFL fight would be…
  • Lmao Francis knows how to get under Dana’s skin
  • Probably got it free trying to get him to go there and probably got her to wear it for the pic as a dig/message to Dana/UFC
  • I could see Francis going to the PFL. He’s liking their Instagram posts and what not
  • She’s Jake Paul’s next opponent
  • He’d Easily be the best fighter on the roster
  • He should. F*ck the ufc man
  • He’ll make more money in PFL
  • Francis could probably take on the entire PFL roster at once

Many fans expressed how Ngannou would have a much better time in the PFL. Because he’d face opponents with a huge skill gap. And Ngannou would turn them into dust in no time.

Also, ‘The Predator’ would piss off his current employer by doing so. Therefore fans think it’s a win-win situation from Ngannou’s perspective. Especially considering the big changes in PFL, recently. The PFL announced a new Super Fight Division, with Jake Paul as its ‘Head of Fighter advocacy’.

This division promises a 50% revenue share to the fighters, which would mean a great deal to Ngannou. Because he expressed issues with his current contract in the UFC.
