Read our privacy policy UFC president Dana White has said he recently had a “good talk” with Francis Ngannou, despite suggesting that the heavyweight champion has been “misguided” throughout an ongoing contract dispute. Ngannou’s upcoming title unification bout with former teammate Ciryl Gane – scheduled to main event UFC 270 on 22 January – was believed to be the last fight on the 35-year-old’s current contract. Now, speaking on The Fight with Teddy Atlas, White suggested that Ngannou’s longer-term future may in fact lie with the UFC. “There are all grown men and women, and everybody has to make their own decisions in life and go down their own paths, but I think Francis and I had a good conversation.” White went on to suggest that Ngannou’s management has complicated matters in recent times.
