The interview with Ariel is well worth a watch for those who want to hear Francis' side of the story. It seems like he's walking away from a very large amount of money. What he was asking for wasn't unreasonable but I don't think the UFC is willing to give fighters those things. It looks like they tried to get him on a huge fight deal probably similar to the 8-fight deal Jon Jones was on but then he wanted a three fight deal which Francis seemed to think he could get done in a year which was optimistic.
It's worth of listening every minute so people can understand what piece of shit Dana White is.
He tried to make Ngannou look bad saying he will fight will weaker fighters and that he was overweight 300 pound injured man, all lies coming from angry abuser.
UFC didn't actually release Ngannou but his contract was expired in December, he only respected his word and people from UFC and waited for their decision.
We just need to have few more people like Ngannou and all this house of UFC cards will start to fall down, and this will result in fighters creating union or something new will be created.
If Dana wants to rule fighters will fear it's only a matter of time when his empire on glass feet will crumble.
