After a controversial exit from the UFC, Francis Ngannou has finally found a new home to continue his illustrious fighting career. Following four months of rigorous search, engaging in talks with prominent promotions such as ONE Championship and Bellator, ‘The Predator’ has now inked a deal with the Professional Fighters League [PFL].

Despite being in high demand and caught up in the race among these organizations, Ngannou seems absolutely thrilled with his decision to sign with PFL. With this new contract secured, the Cameroonian fighter can’t help but take a subtle jab at Dana White‘s promotion, drawing a comparison between the PFL deal and the UFC’s contract.

“I am happy and I think- by the way, I think the deal didn’t work because they know that they couldn’t reach some extent,” said Ngannou.
