According to the Cameroonian heavyweight, he personally negotiated with the UFC, acting as a manager, and McGregor believes that Ngannou should have used the services of professionals.
“Correct presentation is an absolute requirement. Contact the managers of Paradigm Sports! ”, The Irish fighter wrote on a social network, quoting an interview with The Predator that was released the day before.
It is not surprising that Conor McGregor advised Francis Ngannou to apply to a management company that has been representing his interests for many years, however, in an interview with Ariel Helwani, the ex-UFC champion said that he fundamentally does not want to cooperate with managers, even despite the fact that he is friends with one of the most successful representatives of this business.
“We are friends with Ali Abdelaziz, we have a wonderful relationship, but I am not going to interfere with friendship and business. I prefer to manage my own affairs,” Ngannou said.
Recall that the vacant UFC heavyweight championship belt, vacated by Francis Ngannou, will be played by Jon Jones and Cyril Gun on March 4 at UFC 285 in Las Vegas.
