Francis Ngannou doesn’t seem to like the UFC’s attempts to get Tyson Fury to fight Jon Jones in the cage.
Francis Ngannou feels UFC President Dana White’s intentions of booking Jon Jones vs. Tyson Fury is a veiled shot at the former heavyweight champ.

And these statements were not to the liking of Francis Ngannou, who left the UFC at the start of the year and signed with the PFL, in order to be able to get into a boxing ring and satisfy his passion, why not against Tyson Fury .
When he was in the UFC, Francis Ngannou wanted to fight in boxing and his matchup against Tyson Fury was in the news, but Dana White never wanted to. Also, today, the former heavyweight champion has it a bit in the throat:
” It was never an idea. It was never an idea when I was in the UFC to fight Tyson Fury in the cage. Now that I’m no longer in the UFC, I think it’s all about how to take Ngannou down. But Ngannou got up. I will still be here for a while!”
In his recent statements, Tyson Fury for his part said that negotiations with the clan of Ngannou for a fight were still open.
And you, do you think the UFC is doing all this to “bring down” Ngannou?
