Francis Ngannou's Impact on MMA: Praise, Heartbreak, and Game-Changing Moves
Junior dos Santos praised Francis Ngannou for securing a major deal with the Professional Fighters League that gives him equity, a role on the PFL advisory board, a chairman role with PFL Africa, freedom to compete in boxing, and a seven-figure payday for him and his opponents. Dos Santos believes Ngannou's actions are admirable and rare in a sport like MMA, where fighters often focus on themselves first. He hopes to compete again in 2023 and would be willing to be Ngannou's first opponent in boxing.
