Conor McGregor disses Francis Ngannou for leaving UFC
With Francis Ngannou’s departure from the UFC, Conor McGregor has expressed his opinions. Early this year, the former UFC heavyweight champion surprised the world by giving up his championship and quitting the organization.
Conor McGregor recently shared his opinions on the former UFC heavyweight champion departing the company.
Francis Ngannou, according to Conor McGregor, committed a “mistake,” he said during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. “The Notorious” declared that he had nothing but the finest intentions for Ngannou.
“Francis Ngannou was in that PI utilizing all the tools, but no money was involved, you understand? That wouldn’t have been subject to any fees. Like he’s going to find housing, he’s arranging everything. I believed he erred. He hasn’t battled in a while, after all. Get a fight under your belt before you begin. I had no idea why he had done that, which diminished his appeal. Nonetheless, I still wish him well.”
UFC News round up: Dustin Poirier reflects on ‘pressure’
Since 2011, Dustin Poirier has been a member of the UFC. “The Diamond” has traveled a far-reaching and challenging distance. The Louisiana native has earned a reputation as a dedicated fighter who has endured some of life’s most trying circumstances in pursuing gold. A diamond owes its creation to pressure, and he stated in an Instagram post he shared. He posted a video of him competing in many battles inside the octagon alongside this caption.

Alex Pereira gives betting advice to Drake
Rapper “Drake” actively wagers on UFC fights and frequently makes news for his “crazy” bets. Some of them are profitable, such as the $500,000 wager he made on Jon Jones before the UFC 285 pay-per-view (PPV) earlier this month in Las Vegas.
Others don’t, such as the enormous $2 million loss he suffered when he chose Israel Adesanya to beat old kickboxing foe Alex Pereira at UFC 281 last November in New York. To avoid losing money, “Poatan,” asks Drake to check his wagering slip before UFC 287.
