A few days ago, Francis Ngannou attracted attention when he officially left UFC as the reigning championship and became a free boxer. According to nunnou's share, the reason why he left UFC was not for money. He only separated the tournament after the request for legal support, as well as his sponsorship was not met.
“During the negotiations with UFC, I and the representative made three requirements: the boxer was dressed by his own sponsor, bought insurance, and received legal support from lawyers when negotiating,” Ngunnou said. UFC disappointed him by responding “here we didn't do that”.
To prevent a second Francis Ngannou appearing in the future, UFC was given some changes in the rules with the boxer. Accordingly, the new UFC contract will increase the terms of what martial artists are not done, and allow them to avoid having to go to court if there is a dispute.
Under the old contract, boxers can take UFC to court if they feel that the terms of the signing are not done properly. But with a new contract, instead of bringing UFC to court, boxers were forced to resolve disputes with the tournament via commercial arbitration. This will help UFC avoid more legal troubles than before.
On the side of the nunnou, after breaking up with UFC, he would likely step on the professional boxing floor. He is currently contacting a number of top boxers, including Tyson Fury. If this becomes a reality, the nunnou will face the opportunity to make more money than every UFC champion who has been in the last 2 years.
