Dana White points out major problem with Francis Ngannou fighting Tyson Fury

UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou isn't known for his wrestling abilities, but Dana White thinks his inability to use it in a crossover fight with Tyson Fury puts him at a disadvantage.

Ngannou has been pushing for a fight with boxing star Fury since last year. 'The Predator' is out of contract with the UFC and will only sign a new deal if the promotion put a clause in his contract that allows him to box 'The Gypsy King'.

Fury announced his retirement from boxing after knocking out Dillian Whyte last month to defend his heavyweight title. Ngannou was in attendance and stepped into the ring with Fury after his win to tease a 'hybrid-rules' fight down the line.
