Dana White has claimed Francis Ngannou's switch to the PFL after leaving the UFC doesn't "make sense".
Former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou decided to leave the promotion after failing to agree a new deal as he left in pursuit of potential fights in the boxing ring. However he wanted to continue to fight in the cage alongside any new career in the squared circle, and signed a lucrative new deal with MMA promotion PFL.
It is expected that he will continue to look for his first opportunity in boxing before making his PFL debut which is set to take place next year. But UFC president White believes there is less money in his future options than he thinks, given he may no longer achieve his ambition of fighting a leading boxing heavyweight.
