Probably PFL I would imagine, with the right to box.
Not expecting too much. Could be anything really.
Also, in before a bunch of UFC cans claim they don’t care about Big Frank while contributing to another 50 page thread.

Yeah, PFL would be a good destination for him.
Think he wrecks a fair few heavyweights there.
He was the UFC HW champion, he should demolish ALL the HWs in the bush leagues for a few years. Anything less would be embarrassing for everyone.
And health care for all the fighters in PFL & seat on the board, sponsors and whatever else stipulations that greedy man wanted.It will be PFL. With a contract stipulation that his opponents be well compensated and he can go and box occasionally if somebody will throw him a bone.
Often actually, Askren got demolished in the UFC, Mirko got head kicked, Pettis only won 1 fight in the PFL, Alvarez got put to sleep in his first fight in One. It seems whenever a fighter leaves for other orgs, they seem to be dismissive of the competition and is looking towards only that "pay day."Yeah, granted, but how often do these big signings not pay off?

I believe the fighters seem to complacent, the only fighter who left the UFC in most recent times and is still clearly taking his training & competition serious is Demetrius Johnson, but that is a given as he's all time great. I thought Benson Henderson was going to do a lot better in Bellator but it seemed he's past it plus he's fighting legit competition compared to his peer in Pettis who clearly looks like he hasn't taken a fight serious in a while. Wherever Ngannou lands he better take his opponents serious because Ngannou will be a target and his opponents won't have nothing to lose & everything by beating the alleged #1 HW.Yeah, for whatever reason, the security blankets or whatever not being there, maybe some aspect of familiarity... I don't know, but it can take fighters a while to get their head in the game in a new organisation!

Let's wait for the official announcement, because we hear about Ex UFC fighters making the big bucks in a different MMA org, the released payouts seem to be...not so great.Since he got a bunch of tweets in there, some of them even talking about eight figures, he probably got himself a good deal.
Good for him. Funny how quickly half the people here (if not more) turned on him when he left the UFC.
