Sean Sheehan is joined by E.Spencer Kyte as they react to Francis Ngannou's UFC departure.
It is thought Francis Ngannou turned down a $24 million, 3 fight contract with the UFC. Did Francis make the correct decision?
Francis was stripped of the UFC title, and is now a free agent. He has been released from his contract by the UFC. At UFC 285, Jon Jones fights Ciryl Gane for the UFC Heavyweight Title. So, what is next for Francis; is it PFL, ONE Championship or Bellator? Possibly a boxing match with Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder or Anthony Joshua?
