Francis Ngannou says UFC threatened him with lawsuit moments before UFC 270; reveals ‘racist’ text

Francis Ngannou may have retained the UFC heavyweight title on Saturday, but his victory didn’t seem to get enough luster as it should. For one, UFC president Dana White didn’t wrap the belt around his waist and ditched the post-fight presser, raising more questions about their professional dealings.

On Monday afternoon, “The Predator” appeared on The MMA Hour to spill more details. The first revelation was about a text message his manager received during the morning of fight day.

“On the Saturday morning, my manager received an anonymous message that was very weird,” Ngannou said.
