Francis Ngannou has accussed the UFC of playing "dirty games" after he signed with rival promotion PFL.
'The Predator' elected to vacate his UFC heavyweight title and quit the promotion after fresh contract talks ended without a new deal in place. A key factor in Ngannou's dispute was his financial reward for fights, which appeared to stall negotiations for any original title showdown with Jon Jones, who has since been crowned champion in the Cameroon star's absence.
Ngannou left the UFC in pursuit of boxing clashes, but has also signed with MMA promotion PFL as he looks to continue his career in the cage. And in a fresh outburst explaining his decision to leave the UFC, Ngannou has claimed that in fact he wasn't just after more money.
