Francis Ngannou told his UFC contract demands are "disrespectful"

Francis Ngannou has been told he is "disrespectful" after demanding re-negotiation following each fight of his new UFC deal.

The UFC heavyweight champion has not fought since beating Cyril Gane in a January title defence, which saw the heavyweight fight with torn knee ligaments. Ngannou has also been trying to negotiate a fresh deal with the UFC, which has led to a long dispute over the financial terms of his deal.

Ngannou has teased a career in the boxing ring in search of a more lucrative financial reward as negotiations continue to rumble on with UFC president Dana White. The Cameroon star has reportedly demanded the terms of his contract are re-negotiated dependant on each fight he completes, with a potential showdown against Jon Jones on the cards.
