- UFC. Francis Ngannou hits out at Dana White: I think the guy who controls the narrative can say whatever he wants
It looks as though the bad blood between Francis Ngannou and Dana White isn't over.
The tension between the two has been evident since Ngannou opted to leave the UFC, with White claiming he would have made more money had he remained with the promotion.
Ngannou has denied those claims, stating that he has receipts showing that the offer UFC was offering isn't close to what the CEO claims.
"If this continues, if you [Dana White] want, I can bring all the numbers. I have all the numbers. I have the receipts," Ngannou told Ariel Helwani.
The 38-year-old added that while he isn't a fan of talking about the financial side of his career, he isn't afraid to speak when needed, especially if Dana White won't stop.
"No [on bringing up the numbers]... I don't like to bring numbers up. [But] if I need to, I will," said Ngannou.
Ngannou and White continue back and forth
The comments show that the bad blood between the two remains. A few months ago Ngannou took aim at White, after the UFC boss suggested a fight with Jon Jones never took shape due to the Cameroonian.
"As far as I'm concerned, it was Jon Jones who didn't want a fight with me, according to them," Ngannou said.
"So many times we sat down in a meeting and they were like: 'Oh it can't happen. Jon Jones doesn't want to fight anymore. He lives in Albuquerque, and he lives his small life and has a lot of money in his bank account.' I think the guy who controls the narrative can say whatever he wants.
"That's just the narrative. I was the one requesting the Jon Jones fight."
