UFC President Dana White considered cutting Ngannou after his loss, due to his focus on financial success.
UFC President Dana White nearly cut heavyweight Francis Ngannou in 2018 following his loss to Derrick Lewis, citing Ngannou's focus on financial success. Ngannou left the UFC for PFL and boxing, aiming to avoid a risky match against Jon Jones. Despite early setbacks, Ngannou later became heavyweight champion. Recently, he won his PFL debut, while White dismissed the idea of a Ngannou-Jones fight, suggesting a matchup between Jones and Tom Aspinall instead.
