Conor McGregor extends offer to Francis Ngannou after heavyweight's UFC exit

Conor McGregor has offered Francis Ngannou a spot on his management stable after the UFC heavyweight champion decided that he was leaving MMA's No.1 promotion.

Ngannou came to the end of his contract having never lost his UFC title, meaning that he had considerable leverage in a negotiation with the company for his new deal. However, terms could not be agreed between the parties and the Cameroonian decided that he would leave, with the promotion offering him an immediate release.

And McGregor has taken to social media to offer Ngannou help, telling him that he must seek out his Paradigm Sports management company, where he is the star client. Paradigm is home to some of the biggest fighters in the world, and the Irishman seemed surprised upon hearing that the heavyweight champion had represented himself in negotiations.
