Francis Ngannou has been told he "shot himself in the foot" after leaving the UFC in search of a potential boxing fight.
Ngannou vacated his UFC heavyweight title after failing to agree a new deal with the promotion earlier this year, which now sees him as a free agent. The Cameroon star has been negotiating a number of different opportunities since departing the UFC including a series of boxing fights, which he has hinted at due to the potentially lucrative nature of the bouts.
A whole host of possible opponents could be on the cards including American heavyweight Deontay Wilder with the pair currently in talks over a two-fight deal in Saudi Arabia. However, UFC legend Jose Aldo, who has himself made the switch to the boxing ring, believes Ngannou has made a huge mistake by seeking better financial terms.
