Dana White dismisses Francis Ngannou "lost cause" claim amid UFC contract dispute

UFC boss Dana White insists Francis Ngannou 's future in the promotion is still bright despite the heavyweight champion still being out of contract.

Ngannou became a free agent after defending his title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 in January. The Cameroonian has no more fights left on his contract and is free to leave the promotion in December.

The UFC has offered Ngannou several new deals but he has turned all of them down, claiming the decision has cost him around £5million. 'The Predator' is pushing for better pay in his new deal and a clause that would allow him to box whilst under contract.
