Dana White revealed during the post-fight conference following UFC Vegas 67 that the promotion has parted ways with Francis Ngannou.
White revealed that the UFC couldn't come to terms with Francis Ngannou despite offering him the highest fight ourse for a UFC heavyweight. In his words, the money was more than what Brock Lesnar paid.
But who will tell Dana White, Brock Lesnar competed six years ago and to make that kind of reference only goes on to show how incredibly underpaid was Francis Ngannou.
Moreover, White stated that they have decided to release Ngannou from his contract. However, on the contrary, Ngannou fought out of his contract.
Francis Ngannou competed in his last fight on his previous UFC contract in January 2022, going more than a year without competing anywhere else.
It's safe to say, Francis Ngannou did everything legally and found his way out of the UFC after fulfilling his previous UFC contract. So, to say, he was released because he was "scared" is a lie!
There's a huge possibility we could see Francis Ngannou inside the boxing ring. A possible move to PFL cannot be ruled out as well.
UFC President Dana White already has someone in mind if he ever retires from the UFC.
