Overview
- White said Ngannou grabbed his shirt and shoved him during a meeting at UFC headquarters after a post-fight bonus disagreement.
- He also alleged Ngannou pulled UFC executive Hunter Campbell back by the collar when Campbell tried to walk away.
- White renewed his portrayal of Ngannou as a “bad guy,” contrasting that view with the fighter’s public image and citing prior run-ins.
- The articles present only White’s account of the incidents, and they did not include a contemporaneous response from Ngannou.
- Their relationship collapsed during contract talks over compensation and boxing opportunities, and Ngannou left the UFC in 2023 to sign with the PFL.
