Overview

  • Ngannou said he skipped the Cape Town and Johannesburg cards because the PFL Africa debut "seemed like an undercard."
  • He said the PFL has not presented a next opponent and that outreach about an MMA return this year produced no booking.
  • The former UFC champion confirmed he is pursuing a boxing fight with Deontay Wilder, saying arrangements are being set up.
  • He dismissed talk of a UFC comeback, noting he remains bound to the PFL and sees no reason to return.
  • He said a proposed Jon Jones superfight never progressed because the UFC resists co-promotion, despite attempts by third parties to facilitate it.
