Francis Ngannou blasts UFC over sponsorships

Francis Ngannou didn’t hold back while blasting the UFC over Twitter about sponsorships

Francis Ngannou isn’t one to shy away from his thoughts outside of the octagon and on Wednesday, he vented some frustrations about UFC sponsorships.

After former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold sounded off on fighter pay Wednesday, Ngannou joined the conversation via Twitter. It was there that he aired out some frustrations including a story on how he lost out on a deal worth over $1 million because of the UFC’s sponsorship deal with a cryptocurrency platform.

Listening to Luke's interview was very pertinent.
A lot of things that nobody is talking about it and the company just rolls with it.

Fighters are ripped off with Sponsorship. It’s a huge source of revenue for us but the company keeps exploiting that for their own benefit.
