He turned it down. We\u2019re gonna release him from his contract.

We could have done a fight with Jones in October, November, December. But we wanted this fight with Francis.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not only is Francis Ngannou stripped and released, but Dana White noted that the promotion waived the exclusive negotiating window and no matching rights clause. That means &#8216;The Predator&#8217; is now a free agent and can sign with whatever promotion he wants, as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Following the rather shocking news, several pros took to social media to share their respective reactions.<\/p>\n<p>Check out what fellow fighters had to say below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I can\u2019t wait for that title fight<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bullyb170\/status\/1614455482764206083?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I feel like a UFC option should be on this<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/funkmasterMMA\/status\/1614465121593757697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let\u2019s go <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonnyBones?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JonnyBones<\/a>!!! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC285?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC285<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uT9aOc8OZk\">https:\/\/t.co\/uT9aOc8OZk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; bjpenndotcom (@bjpenndotcom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bjpenndotcom\/status\/1614401021941551106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 14, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ciryl_gane\/status\/1614459389729013762\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/ciryl_gane\/status\/1614459389729013762<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HenryCejudo\/status\/1614422971741011968\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/HenryCejudo\/status\/1614422971741011968<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jon Jones vs Ciryl Gane is confirmed for UFC 286 .
