In the latest UFC announcement, they said they would hold an event with the Heavyweight Championship match in the near future. The reigning champion Francis nunnou was also deprived of his belt because he had no contract with UFC and became a free boxer. In fact, this is not too new information.
In December 2021, the UFC information had problems with the contract extension with the nunnou began to appear. The two sides could not find a common voice since March 2021, the time the nunnou became the UFC champion by defeating Stipe Miocic. The UFC said the nunnou and the representative constantly made unreasonable demands.
“Ngunnou's crew is an idiot. We give him the contract with the highest amount in history for a Heavyweight UFC fighter, but he refused. So Ngunnou wanted to go anywhere.
In fact, since the nunnou became the UFC champion, he only signed an additional contract for 1 match. It also means that the contract of the nunnou has expired from January 2022, the time he protects the belt successfully against Ciryl Gane. Since then, all nunnou's matches have been canceled at the last minute because the two parties cannot sign a new contract.
On the side of the nunnou, he and the crew chose to be silent before all allegations from UFC. It is still unclear that the next destination for this boxer after leaving UFC, but he can sign a contract with any tournament with the CV of a champion. The advantage of nunnou is that he can play Boxing and Kickboxing next to MMA.
Meanwhile, UFC was also suspicious of being honest when saying the highest level of nunnou. Because, also on the announcement of the title of the championship of the nunnou, UFC signed an 8 -match match against Jon Jones. “Where does UFC get money to pay for Jones if they really spend on the nunnou?”, A reader wondered on Sherdog.
