Now that he’s free of the UFC, Francis Ngannou has plenty of options for his next career move – and Bellator, along with Showtime Boxing, hope he’s giving them serious consideration.
Speaking with Insider, Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza said “Bellator is absolutely interested” and explained why signing with the company should be attractive to Ngannou.
“There is no one else in the world who can give him the opportunities in both boxing and MMA at the level Bellator and Showtime Boxing can do,” Espinoza said before adding: “Showtime and Bellator can give him the best flexibility and bang for his buck, the biggest most lucrative financial opportunity, all while really allowing him to develop all elements of his career simultaneously.”
