Dana White Alleges Francis Ngannou Got Physical at UFC Offices

White shared the uncorroborated account on the Flagrant podcast, tying the confrontation to a $50,000 bonus dispute.

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.
