White reveals unexpected reason for Ngannou's exit from UFC

The head of the promotion actually called the athlete a coward.

On the eve of the strongest league in the world and the strongest fighter of the planet Francis Ngannou finally said goodbye to each other.

The athlete did not want to renew the contract, as a result of which he lost his championship belt in the heavyweight division.

Now many experts are arguing about the reasons why Ngannou refused to continue to fight under the auspices of the UFC.

Moreover, in the near future they planned to arrange a duel with promotion legend Jon Jones, who decided to resume his career.

According to the head of the league, Dana White, this is what could have influenced the decision of the Cameroonian fighter to leave.

“He was considered the best of the best for many years, and I think he just wanted to stay that way in history, not risk going against Jon Jones. After all, he once left in the status of the best fighter of all time, ”White explained, thus disguising the accusation of cowardice against the ex-champion.
