UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is yet to sign a new deal with the promotion as his future remains in question.
Ngannou, 36, hasn't fought since defending his title for the first time against former training partner Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 in January. The Cameroonian entered that fight with injured knee ligaments that were only worsened after going the distance against Gane. Ngannou, who is free to leave the UFC at the end of this year, revealed the promotion hasn't sent him a new contract offer.
“My contract status right now is still the same. I haven’t received any offer. It’s the same,” he told MMA on SiriusXM. " I hope in the next two to three months, we get to deal with that. To solve that. It’s not surprising to me. I think we’re not in a rush. I’m not in a rush, either. I’m not going anywhere, so I’m not rushing. At the end of the day, we have time."
