Can Ngannou return to the UFC?

Eric Nicksick, coach of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, admits that his protégé might return to the largest MMA promotion.

“Enough time has passed, and I would gladly watch them mend their relationship, and Francis return to compete in the UFC. I think it’s more related to business than ego, at least from Francis’ side. Where do his motives come from? It’s not about money, it’s about competition. And the best competition is in the UFC,” Nicksick said in an interview with Home of Fight.

Recall that in 2023 Ngannou left the UFC due to contract disputes and joined PFL.
