Former two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya recently addressed a situation where the UFC production team edited a video to remove a reference he made to former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. Adesanya expressed his disappointment during the UFC 305 pre-sale press conference when a portion of his interview mentioning Ngannou was omitted from the 'UFC 305 Countdown' video.
Adesanya emphasized the significance of Ngannou's legacy in the UFC, highlighting his achievements and impact on the sport. Ngannou departed from the UFC in 2023 after contract negotiations fell through, leading him to sign with the PFL and venture into boxing. Despite his departure, Ngannou's contributions to the UFC, including winning the heavyweight title in 2021, remain a pivotal part of the organization's history.
