UFC president Dana White believes the heavyweight champion could be getting ahead of himself before the first pay-per-view event of the year.
Saturday evening at UFC 270, Francis Ngannou will attempt to unify the heavyweight title when he takes on interim champion Ciryl Gane in the main event in Anaheim, Calif. In the lead up, Ngannou has publicly discussed his desire to change his contract situation with the UFC, which is currently set to expire at the conclusion of the fight with Gane.
Ngannou has expressed he would like his next contract to include the ability to compete in boxing, mentioning a potential mega crossover fight with champion Tyson Fury.
