Dana White has shut down a UFC return for heavyweight Francis Ngannou - and insisted he is "impossible" to work with.
Ngannou reigned as UFC heavyweight champion but elected to vacate his belt and make an exit from the promotion after failing to agree a new deal. 'The Predator' was unhappy with a number of factors of any new deal including the financial term and the inability to negotiate boxing fights outside of his contract.
He is now a free agent and has been negotiating a number of opportunities including an MMA appearance under the PFL banner, and a two-fight boxing deal with Deontay Wilder. Many including UFC legend Chael Sonnen have called for Ngannou to bury the hatchet with UFC president White and look to make a return to the UFC.
