Follow usArjan Bhullar praises Francis Ngannou for betting on himself by inking with the PFL.
Ex-heavyweight champ Ngannou left UFC and joined the PFL, which gives him the opportunity to box and he is on the wheel regarding promotion.
Ex-ONE Championship heavyweight champion Bhullar (11-2) – he was defeated last Friday by the interim champion Anatoly Malykhin (13-0) in a title unification fight, believes Francis’s contract will only contribute positively for fighters in the future.
“Ngannou was able to beat the machine and secure a great contract for himself,” Arjan shares with MMA Junkie. “It proves MMA is real because he’s the highest-paid heavyweight in history, and he isn’t part of the UFC. The UFC doesn’t represent the entire combat sport. MMA is a real option. There are other organizations, and Francis proved that.”
