UFC CEO Dana White went on an epic rant targeting the Professional Fighters League and their Super Fights heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, on Thursday following a Power Slap event in Abu Dhabi.
at the moment, though I'd contend their model is more sustainable than the latter. I wonder how long people will be entertained by the most simplistic combat sport in the world, but I digress. He said,"Yes, I think it's pretty accurate because it’s based on who you fight. I just don't have the opportunity to fight certain people."
That said, White has never gone out of his way to pull numbers on a competitor like he did against the PFL and Ngannou. While the data was valid, the fact that White deemed it necessary to stomp out the PFL could serve as validation. Some of them have had success outside of the UFC. Kasanganay, Bader, and Anderson rose to be champions, but Ngannou is the only fighter to leave in his prime, sign a handsome deal, and maintain his status in the sport with a victory in MMA after leaving.
Had Ferreira defeated Ngannou, there would have been an opportunity for the UFC to pluck the 6-foot-8 Brazilian away from the PFL sometime down the road. It's tough to say never with anything in life, but Ngannou will probably never fight for the UFC again. That means that as long as he is the PFL champion, the lineal title will run through him, not the UFC.
