MMA fighters, Twitter reacts to massive PFL signing of Francis Ngannou

The wait is over. We now know what Francis Ngannou is doing next … kind of.

The PFL confirmed the former UFC heavyweight champion had signed after an initial report by the NY Times. Despite his signing, he won’t debut until mid-2024 leaving many to wonder if he’ll try to box before then.

After the news was announced, fans took to Twitter to respond.

I just read that Francis Ngannou has Nate Diaz beating me….that’s why I love him. We are part of the same company now but he still keeps it real with his opinion.

I’m sure the fella in the sand mines who told his mates he’s going to be the heavyweight champion has been called deluded and crazy before.

Didn’t stop him then.
Won’t stop him now.

Good luck to Francis Ngannou.

ONE pressing into the US market with the most marketable sports in Muay Thai/ kickboxing. PFL signing Cedric Doumbe & Francis Ngannou. UFC with a horrible run of cards, on a decent decline rn.
Combat sport landscape will drastically change over the next 5 years.

The exact terms of his deal have not been confirmed but he will partner with PFL to help develop PFL Africa and whoever he fights will be guaranteed at least $2 million.

Things are looking pretty good for Ngannou now.
