  • Dana White claimed that his Power Slap promotion outperformed PFL, questioning the appeal of fighting in PFL except for Ngannou.
  • Ngannou responded by accusing White of altering the narrative around a potential fight with Jon Jones, highlighting past contradictions.
  • The UFC's attention on PFL and Ngannou suggests a growing rivalry, as Ngannou remains a significant figure in MMA outside the UFC.
