Francis Ngannou made the bold move to leave the UFC after allegedly turning down a massive contract from Dana White. Now, his future in fighting is wide open.
Well, many are speculating about what Ngannou’s next move is going to be. So, teammate and UFC star Sean Strickland names the super fight he wants to see Francis Ngannou in.
According to MMA Fighting, Strickland wants Ngannou “to make ‘go fuck yourself money’ against Tyson Fury.” That would certainly be a super-fight, as we’d witness two heavyweight monsters going at it in the boxing ring.

That genuinely could be an intriguing matchup. Although Fury has the edge in a boxing match, Ngannou’s power could end the bout at any moment. Nothing is certain just yet, but something could be in the works soon. Perhaps Francis Ngannou will shed light on his future plans when he sits down with Ariel Helwani on Tuesday, per MMA Orbit.

In the end, fight fans are on pins and needles as we await Francis Ngannou’s next move. He could enter the boxing ring, as Sean Strickland suggests. There is also Bellator and the fast-growing PFL available as well. Either way, Ngannou has plenty of options on the table.
