The former UFC heavyweight champion made waves this week, revealing that he had officially signed with the Professional Fighters League five months after becoming a free agent. Since then, MMA Twitter has been overflowing with fans and fighters sharing their thoughts on the groundbreaking deal that will see Ngannou cashing big fat checks while heading up the promotion’s PFL Africa expansion.
Stepping in front of the media for the first time since the PFL made its blockbuster announcement, Dana White shared his honest thoughts on Ngannou’s new deal. While he admitted to knowing very little of the details, he finds it odd that the company is essentially giving away the house for a fighter who won’t even step inside the Smart Cage for another year.
