Francis Ngannou teases update on fighting future with impending announcement following UFC exit

Former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou has shared a cryptic post on his social media ahead of an apparent announcement next week – as the Cameroon native continues to receive falk for his absence from combat sports.

Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from active competition since he headlined UFC 270 back in January of last year, successfully defending and unifying the division titles with a unanimous decision win.

However, yet to compete since that date in Anaheim, California, Ngannou, who underwent reconstructive knee surgery to address in injury suffered ahead of his fight with Gane, saw his contractual obligations with the UFC expire in December amid the ‘sunset’ clause in his contract.
