Ngannou made some waves in the MMA world after he parted ways with the UFC while he was the promotion’s heavyweight champion. Five months after his UFC exit, “The Predator” signed with the PFL. With the deal, Ngannou’s first opponent under the PFL banner is expected to earn $2 million.
As expected, this has prompted some heavyweights to throw their names in the hat in hopes of sharing the cage with Ngannou. One of those fighters is former UFC bruiser Ben Rothwell. He took to his Twitter account to lay out the challenge.
Many fans have supported Ngannou in his PFL venture, and that includes Ariel Helwani, who had the following to say on the matter on his show.
“Between February of 2019 and January of 2022, which is three years, he fought five times. Now he hasn’t fought in 18 months because he’s coming off ACL surgery and was a free agent and had to deal with all that. So to frame that he hasn’t fought, he fights once every year…is a bullsh*t way of framing all of this.”
Helwani hits out at White
“Like, literally, that guy [Francis Ngannou] put his life on the line multiple times, was put in detention centers multiple times, had to jump off rafts, had to swim…had to live homeless. That guy doesn’t wanna take risks? What are we talking about now? This has become so ridiculous.”
