Francis Ngannou has been warned he won't get anywhere by continuing to negotiate a new and improved deal with the UFC.
Heavyweight champion Ngannou, 36, hasn't fought since seeing out his UFC contract by defending his belt against former sparring partner Ciryl Gane in January. The Cameroonian, who is free to leave the UFC at the end of this year, revealed the promotion is yet to offer him a new deal. Ngannou wants improved conditions in his new contract, such as more money and the ability to compete boxing whilst in the UFC.
MMA analyst Chael Sonnen thinks Ngannou is wasting his breath by demanding an improved deal, stating on his YouTube channel: "Francis has said there's no new contract that's been sent over and he's in no hurry. Francis has one skill. He's a really big man and he can hit people and knock them down. There's nothing else to put on a resume. He worked very hard for that skill, dedicated his life, but there's nothing else to put on a resume.
