Since that time, Ngannou has been held out of the cage due to a litany of knee injuries. Furthermore, the injury was reportedly pre-existing, meaning he fought &#8216;Bon Gamin&#8217; with several torn ligaments in his knee at UFC 270.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not fighting in nearly a year, the champion has been in the headlines due to his feud with the UFC. The clash with Gane was the last on Ngannou&#8217;s contract, and he&#8217;s made it clear he needs big changes to stay around in the MMA promotion. While many believe the issues between the two sides are new, they aren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>On his YouTube channel, Francis Ngannou discussed his issues with the UFC. There, the champion noted that he&#8217;s had issues with the promotion and Dana White since 2018. In January of that year, he fought <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/fighters\/stipe-miocic\/\">Stipe Miocic<\/a> for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>The Cleveland native won by decision, handing the challenger his first loss in the UFC. Following that defeat, Ngannou explained that the promotion attempted to shift the narrative on him, that he was difficult to deal with or had too much of an ego.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_373320\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-373320\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-373320 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stipe-Miocic-Francis-Ngannou.jpg\" alt=\"Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou UFC 220\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stipe-Miocic-Francis-Ngannou.jpg 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Stipe-Miocic-Francis-Ngannou-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-373320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PhotoCred: MMAMania<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis situation with the UFC started a long time ago, way longer than people realized,\u201d Ngannou said on his YouTube channel. \u201cI was silent and they were trying to control the narrative and then manipulate people\u2019s perspective, people\u2019s opinion about it.
