Overview
- Asked directly if he put his hands on Dana White, Francis Ngannou declined to confirm or deny and suggested questions be directed to White.
- Ngannou noted the alleged incident was said to have occurred in White’s office and remarked that there are cameras there, adding he is not inviting any footage to be released.
- White previously alleged Ngannou physically accosted him and UFC executive Hunter Campbell during disputes tied to a private jet request and a $50,000 bonus.
- Ngannou said his PFL contract will expire before the UFC’s planned White House card in June, indicating an MMA return is possible though a UFC bout with Jon Jones remains complicated.
- He said Deontay Wilder is his preferred next boxing opponent and confirmed he was approached about replacing Jake Paul for a December 19 bout with Anthony Joshua but did not take the fight.
