Francis Ngannou He finally spoke out about the new controversy involving him. In November, Dana White, president of the UFC, shocked the world by revealing that the Cameroonian giant assaulted him and also laid hands on other company employees, calling him a bad person. When questioned about the matter, the former heavyweight champion (up to 120,2 kg) of the league adopted an unusual stance.

In an interview with the YouTube channel 'The Ariel Helwani Show', Ngannou surprisingly remained evasive, meaning he did not confirm the incident, but he did not deny having, in fact, intimidated and physically assaulted Dana White and other UFC employees. In the most shocking revelation, the UFC president detailed that the Cameroonian, upset at not receiving one of the 'Performance of the Night' bonuses, went to his office at the Performance Institute in Las Vegas (USA), grabbed him by the shirt during the argument, and even pushed him.

“Why am I not surprised? In his office. That’s what he said, right? Well, I’m sure he has a lot of cameras there. It’s very annoying to have to be responsible for what people say. If Dana says that, I’m here to defend myself against what Dana said. Whatever he said, if he’s at peace with it, that’s fine. I don’t think it’s important to respond. I don’t think it’s necessary. At some point it was, but, over time, it’s not anymore,” said Ngannou, before adding.

“If every time someone says something about you you have to respond, it will be difficult. Maybe I'm getting older and have less energy for drama or other things. I just want to be at peace and for people to leave me in peace. Over time, I simply get tired of these things. I saw that and ignored it. I got over it, I wasn't even thinking about it,” she concluded.

Terrible relationship

This was just one of many exchanges of barbs between Dana White and Francis Ngannou In fact, the relationship between the parties deteriorated to such an extent that the Cameroonian, after complaining that he was not valued as he should have been and that the official did not authorize him to compete in boxing matches, chose to leave the UFC and join the PFL.
