“I think the main fight was surprising. Nobody expected that Francis would act as a wrestler. It was brilliant for him, evolving his strategy the way it did. He was brilliant,” said White, in an interview with ‘ESPN'.
Last weekend, Ngannou and Gane shared the octagon in a duel valid for the unification of the heavyweight title. Famous for his extraordinary strength, the French-Cameroonian shocked with his versatility and managed to nullify his strategic opponent for around three rounds.
After five rounds, Francis was declared the winner in a unanimous decision by the judges. With the result, the athlete confirmed the absolute top of the group.
Behind the scenes, the situation is not the best between the champion and Ultimate. At the UFC 270, the French-Cameroonian fought the last fight of his contract and, in the press conference after the show, the fighter demanded respect from the company, demanded freedom and did not guarantee renewal. If he does not present himself by December 31st, the ‘giant’ will be free to sign with any other promoter.
