Former UFC Champion Francis Ngannou Fails to Secure Contract with ONE Championship – What’s Next for the Francis?

Franny is out on his, and the combat sports world is buzzing with speculation about where former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou will end up next. After failing to come to terms on a contract with ONE Championship, the Singapore-based promotion has withdrawn from the bidding process, citing a “lack of alignment” on non-financial matters.

But that hasn’t stopped other organizations from vying for Ngannou’s services. The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is reportedly confident of landing his signature, while Bellator president Scott Coker and Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) chief David Feldman have both seemingly questioned his financial demands.

At 36 years old and with a professional MMA record of 17-3, Ngannou has made it clear that he wants to compete for an organization that will not only pay him handsomely but also allow him to dabble in the world of boxing. While his demands may be high, there’s no denying that “The Predator” is one of the most exciting and dynamic heavyweights in the sport today.

So where will he end up? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the combat sports world will be watching closely. Ngannou has proven himself to be a formidable competitor, and his next move could have a major impact on the landscape of MMA and boxing.

For now, Franny is out on his fanny, but he won’t be there for long. The allure of big-money fights and the chance to cement his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time will no doubt drive him to find a new home in the combat sports world. And when he does, fans will be waiting with bated breath to see what he does next.
