Francis Ngannou's PFL signing raises questions about long-term success.

While Francis Ngannou's deal with PFL is a big win for him, UFC President Dana White criticized the deal and the PFL's business strategy. Matt Brown, on the other hand, commends PFL for taking a risk and going after Ngannou, but also understands the inherent risk that the promotion is taking. Despite his dominance in the heavyweight division, Ngannou has never been considered a massive draw, and he also competes in arguably the most volatile and unpredictable division in the sport.
