Chael Sonnen, a former UFC fighter, now a commentator and analyst, criticizes Ngannou for refusing a fight with Jake Paul. According to Chael, Francis risks being unemployed by refusing such lucrative offers.

"If you refuse fights that you think are not challenging enough, it does not make you noble—it leaves you unemployed. You are a professional fighter, you are offered a prize, and you are offended? Declined the challenge—lost," Sonnen said on his channel.
