“My position is very complicated and I get frustrated. I'm in my prime and I'm wasting time without fighting, so it's a bit frustrating. We have to stay motivated, make money and fight. Sometimes it's really hard to go to the gym. Why are you going to train if you don't know if you're going to fight or when you're going to fight? If things changed, it would be different. Many divisions have three or four belt defenses per year, but in heavyweight, there is only one. This makes candidates difficult. We fight, but no one moves. The UFC needs to find a way to not get stuck, because the category needs to rotate. If there were three, four title defenses a year, everyone would fight for the belt,” said Ngannou.
