The beef Francis Ngannou has with Dana White is not unknown to the world. The heat between the two previously led the former UFC heavyweight champion to walk out of the MMA promotion. Although the fight between Ngannou and Jon Jones was greatly anticipated by fans and professionals alike, it was indeed a far-fetched dream.

Recently, ‘The Predator’ took to Twitter and expressed his dislike for the UFC president. He shared a video from the UFC 260 press conference, where White seemingly hinted at putting Ngannou and Jones against each other. However, things didn’t happen as the fighter wanted. In the caption, he asked White to make up his mind. In another tweet, the Cameroonian provided a teaser that his fight with ‘Bones’ might happen at the PFL.
