Francis Ngannou has responded to 'ignorant' Conor McGregor criticism following his defection from UFC to rival series PFL.
Ngannou signed for the Professional Fighters League after failing to come to an agreement with UFC bosses after several rounds of negotiations. He has since announced that he will make a debut in 2024, but is still aiming to pursue a career in the boxing ring including a tune-up fight before the end of this year. In the process of defecting from the UFC he has vacated his Heavyweight title.
As fans awaited news of The Predator's next move, UFC superstar McGregor issued criticism of his departure suggesting that the ex-champion had made an error of judgement. McGregor said on the MMA Hour, “He was in that Performance Institute, using all the equipment, there was no dough on that.
