UFC delivers final Francis Ngannou snub as ex-champion is "erased from history"

Francis Ngannou has been excluded from the UFC's Black History Month tribute weeks after leaving the organisation.

Ngannou is considered one of the most dominant heavyweight champions in recent UFC history defeating the likes of Stipe Miocic, Alistair Overeem and Ciryl Gane during his stint as king. However 'The Predator' recently announced his departure from the UFC having failed to agree a new contract, after being left unhappy with his financial reward.

The heavyweight champion has since vacated his belt and will now move on, as he is now considering a stint in the boxing ring or with another MMA promotion. Having cut most ties with Ngannou, the UFC have now dealt their final blow to Ngannou leaving him out of a traditional social media video to pay tribute to Black History Month.
