Ngannou, who knocked out Gypsy in 2019 on his way to the UFC heavyweight championship, recently signed an agreement with the PFL that will give him the right to participate in the PFL advisory board, the position of head of the PFL Africa division, the opportunity to compete in boxing, as well as seven-figure royalties for him and his opponents.
“Ngannou's actions are admirable, because you know for sure that they come from a person who has values and will not exchange these values for handouts, whatever they may be. Why has nothing like this ever happened before? Because people focus on themselves first. This was not the case with Francis. It was important for him to change the situation.
Fighters in MMA and other combat sports are thrilled to hear what he has to say and see him open doors and break down barriers. This is very cool of him,” Dos Santos said in an interview with Trocação Franca.
