Francis Ngannou’s coach has said the heavyweight will not return to the UFC, but that a co-promotional deal with the PFL would be of interest, as the “Predator” eyes a potential clash with Jon Jones or Tom Aspinall.
Ngannou vacated the UFC heavyweight title upon leaving the promotion in January 2023, before venturing into boxing for seismic bouts against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, and more recently returning to mixed martial arts in October.
