I get it.I can totally comprehend why they wouldn't want to let him do that.
But why did Dana say "He just doesn't want to fight the best fighters, he wanted easy fights, we don't do that here" ?
Why didn't he just say "Francis wanted to box and we said no."
Because he's Dana and he had to be an asshole and lie about things like he always does. Just be honest and say why Francis didn't want to sign instead of trying to belittle him. Just be straight with us.
Why does Ngannou bring up health insurance and talks about being an employee in one breath and talks about wanting to be an independent contractor and wanting freedom in his next breath?
The point is they (both Ngannou and DW) are trying to make themselves look as best as possible while making the other side look as bad as possible. They tall about things that are completely irrelevant to the meat and potatoes sticking points of the argument.
Ngannou wants to box as the reigning UFC HW champ so he can attempt to hunt down a mega payday.
The UFC wants Ngannou strictly focusing on the UFC.
I have no doubt the ufc offered him a bigger contract than Lesnar. The issue is that Ngannou thinks he can get more than what the ufc is offering via boxing. Plus there's no guarantee to the ufc that after getting 25, 30, 35 million dollars that Ngannou ever comes back and fights in the ufc. McGregor sat out for 2 years with the belt after getting rich.
I think Ngannou messed up hard imo. The ufc will survive and barely skip a beat while Ngannou is just a former UFC HW champ now. He's not getting a big boxing match without the being the current UFC HW champ.
