Francis Ngannou provides update on UFC future by unveiling "five-year" plan

Francis Ngannou has played down talks he will retire from fighting by outlining his five-year goal to "conquer everything".

UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou is currently recovering from a knee injury he sustained before his title defence against Ciryl Gane in January. 'The Predator' fought out of his contract with the title defence and is free to leave the promotion in December.

Yet to sign a new UFC deal, question marks have been raised over Ngannou's future in the promotion. Adding to that is the prospect of a potential 'hybrid-rules' fight with Tyson Fury, as Ngannou teased the exhibit-on clash after Fury's win against Dillian Whyte in April.
