Francis Ngannou urged to swallow his pride and beg Dana White for UFC return

Francis Ngannou has been implored to beg UFC president Dana White for the chance to return to the UFC.

Ngannou elected to leave the promotion and vacate his heavyweight title earlier this year after failing to agree a new contract, despite being made multiple offers. 'The Predator' is now a free agent and is assessing his options with multiple offers expected to be on the table including from Deontay Wilder.

The Cameroon star has also been in negotiations to continue his MMA career outside of the UFC including via YouTube star Jake Paul who is now signed to work with the PFL. Although his future is yet to be sorted, UFC legend Chael Sonnen believes Ngannou was blindsided by an offer from Tyson Fury which is unlikely to materialise.
