Joe Rogan expresses a sense of regret over the collapse of UFC contract discussions with Francis Ngann, describing it as a genuine disappointment.

Francis Ngannou, affectionately known as "The Predator," made a significant impact during his tenure with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). His intense fighting style was so formidable that it earned him the praise of UFC commentator Joe Rogan, who declared that Ngannou's performances sent opponents flying, metaphorically speaking, to the moon.

However, a public feud with UFC president Dana White led to Ngannou's departure from the organisation at the beginning of 2023. Joe Rogan expressed regret over the situation, considering it a real tragedy that Ngannou and the UFC could not work things out.

Following his departure, Ngannou signed with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) and quickly made his mark. In October of last year, he knocked out Renan Ferreira in the opening round, securing the PFL heavyweight championship. Rogan, in his usual candid manner, stated that Ngannou was the most frightening leader of the heavyweight division in UFC history, and he continues to believe that Ngannou is a massive individual.

The specific details of Ngannou's contract with PFL, as well as the terms of his contract negotiation with the UFC, have not been disclosed. Similarly, the specifics of his boxing matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, and the details of his win over Renan Ferreira in the PFL, remain undisclosed.

Despite the lack of information, one thing is clear: Francis Ngannou continues to dominate the world of combat sports, leaving a trail of knockouts in his wake. As he continues his journey, "The Predator" shows no signs of slowing down.
