Is Francis Ngannou leaving the UFC?

According to Sportskeeda, citing its own sources, the UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou left the organization and became a free agent.

A few days ago, rumors began to spread actively that the Cameroonian could sign a contract with the PFL. The reason for them was the photos published by Francis from the celebration of the New Year with his family, in which his mother is depicted in a T-shirt of this promotion.

Recall that 36-year-old Ngannou has not entered the octagon since last January, when he defeated Cyril Gan by unanimous decision. Previously, the fighter has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with fees in the UFC and the lack of the opportunity to fight according to the rules of boxing.
