Francis Ngannou won't rule out a potential comeback to the UFC despite leaving the promotion on poor terms as their heavyweight champion earlier this month.
The world heavyweight champion had negotiated a deal that would make him the highest paid heavyweight in promotional history, but wanted other clauses that his employers wouldn't budge on, leaving him with no choice but to leave. The UFC has already moved on, making a new heavyweight title clash between legendary light-heavyweight Jon Jones and No.1 contender Ciryl Gane.
And Ngannou has said that despite the problems he has had with the UFC, he wouldn't be opposed to one day returning and fighting for the belt which he never lost. The Cameroonian won the heavyweight championship in 2021 when he dethroned Stipe Miocic, and defended it once against Gane before leaving the promotion over the weekend.
