Prior to the victory, the champ had suffered an MCL tear and partial ACL tear in training, but bound and determined, he proceeded to fight and defeat Gane.<\/p>\n<p>Ngannou, 36, is indeed the current UFC heavyweight champion. The fighter has also fulfilled the number of fights required within his current UFC contract which is on the verge of expiring.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on a new podcast with Joe Pompliano, Ngannou was asked who he&#8217;d fight next and his response was as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMaybe Jon Jones, if we get things sorted out. Because this contract situation hasn\u2019t been sorted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Continuing, Francis Ngannou elaborated on how he feels he&#8217;s been treated within the UFC:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFor myself, no. Definitely not. I wasn\u2019t treated fair. Because I stand for something, I asked for something. I ran into Dana earlier and we were pretty cool, but my relationship with Dana was very good at the beginning until I mentioned something about the fighter contract. And not on purpose, I think I said something like \u2018Oh we can negotiate after every fight.\u2019 That wasn\u2019t even in public. Just in a room the two of us. But I didn\u2019t know how big the mistake to say you can negotiate.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Talking about his current contract, Ngannou shared:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhen you think about it, it\u2019s a business that\u2019s built on holding, controlling people, and you say you can negotiate after every fight? No, that\u2019s when everything went south. The contract that I had was the contract that I signed five years ago. Usually almost nobody stays in the contract five years. It\u2019s just to hold you, to have control. After a year and a half, two years, they\u2019ll come to re-negotiate and add double. But they know by the time they come to double, your value is like five times what it is. So,\u00a0they always have a step on you and you can\u2019t say no because if you say no, you still have years in that contract and you\u2019re probably running out of money.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Advising signing a UFC contract completely ties down a fighter, Francis Ngannou continued:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThey know what they\u2019re doing, it\u2019s business. And then you will sign, and when you sign, it kicks off from the beginning again. So, every time you sign a contract,\u00a0you\u2019ll find yourself tied down three years, four years. So, if they come and say,\u00a0\u2018We\u2019re giving you a new deal, we like you, we\u2019re going to do this for you, take this contract next,\u2019 I said, \u2018Damn I was gonna fight for $100,000, this is $200,000, how cool is that?\u2019 And you sign. Most people are excited about it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ngannou, when asked about the possibility of a fighter&#8217;s union, said for the UFC it&#8217;s all about power and control:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe UFC is gaining more power and the fighter is getting less power. Fighter is losing everything. You can\u2019t even speak now, the UFC is so big, so massive. They did a great job, they look on other sports, how the union was built in other sports, and they make sure to avoid that type of business. So,\u00a0they must be about 700 fighters in the UFC roster today. But that 700 fighter, is treated individual case. It\u2019s you against the entire UFC. It\u2019s never \u2018you guys\u2019 against the UFC.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut how you gonna convince that? Some of them, between fights, they\u2019ll run out of money. They have to pay house, have family to take care of. Maybe they\u2019re fighting for $15,000 and that\u2019s all what they get. And you tell them \u2018You\u2019re doing union!\u2019 What the hell is that? Union won\u2019t pay his family or his house or his rent or anything. And you can\u2019t blame him.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Doubling down on the control the UFC has on fighters, Ngannou continued:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat\u2019s something UFC does the best: they control you. And when they think you have something in your mind, they freeze you to make you run out of money. They know how much you\u2019re making. They can imagine how much you\u2019re spending, so they know. In the past three years I was refusing to re-sign a contract. So,\u00a0what happened? I get freezed. 10 to 12 months between each fight. Why? Because I was refusing contract. Now I\u2019m like okay &#8230; let\u2019s wait. They know you\u2019ll run out of money. At that point I needed two to three fights a year to subsidize my lifestyle. They know that and they make sure you don\u2019t have those fights.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Continuing Ngannou said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAnd the contract says you have to fight when they tell you you have to fight. But your contract does obligate them to give you a fight. They can sit you down for two years. You can\u2019t say anything. So,\u00a0unless they want to make you fight, you won\u2019t fight. So that\u2019s something that caught my attention. What is this contract good for? How this contract protect me, on what? Nothing. I have nothing. When you sign that contract, you give your ownership to the UFC. But technically, it\u2019s not protecting you from nothing, from anything<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Concluding &#8216;The Predator&#8217; said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThey can cut you whenever they want, they can give you a fight, yes or no, and they don\u2019t have to answer to anybody. They can do whatever they want. So why am I signing contract? I have no protection in that contract. Unless you can guarantee me something in that contract, there\u2019s not a reason to do a contract. Matter of fact, you say I\u2019m an independent contractor. Let me fight, I can fight for you and fight for someone else. Why am I having exclusive contract with you with no benefit? I\u2019m supposedly an independent contractor.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Quotes via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2022\/11\/11\/23453080\/francis-ngannou-shares-update-on-ufc-return-this-contract-situation-hasnt-been-sorted\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAMania<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, while Ngannou is saying he&#8217;s prepared to work with UFC to sort out a contract that works, but in order for it to work, the UFC would have to adhere to his stipulations, it&#8217;s hard to hold out much hope.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with Francis Ngannous&#8217; take on the UFC&#8217;s hold on fighters?
