Reply to comment by caseyjcannon in UFC releases heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou from contract, strips him of title by HeStoleMyBalloons

Everybody wants a union on their way up, but then they become a yes man to the system once they make it. Thereby killing any leverage.

Apparently Francis was demanding better treatment for all fighters, not just himself, and that’s why they cut him. What a legend.

Yeah, that spoke volumes about his character. It says a lot that he is walking away from the UFC, while its president sticks around after beating his wife in public with no repercussions from Endeavor or Disney.

My hope is that Francis leads the charge for a union when he retires from fighting.
