Francis Ngannou sets new standard in MMA free agency frenzy.
TL;DR Summary
Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has signed an "exclusive global MMA strategic partnership" with the PFL, which includes a role as the new PFL Africa chairman and minority equity owner. Ngannou will fight exclusively on PFL’s upcoming pay-per-view “super fight division” events rather than the traditional seasonal tournament format. Daniel Cormier says Ngannou's deal sets a new standard in MMA and will elevate other fighters through his actions, with even his opponents getting a bump in pay. Ngannou's professional boxing debut is expected in 2023, with his MMA return in 2024.
