“I heard that story for years that Francis made contact, not with Dana, but i knew that he did with Hunter. I didn’t believe the story. I never talked about it because i never believed it... I didn't believe it because i thought they would have fired him right on the spot”

– via an interview with Ariel Helwani, discussing the long—standing rumors that Francis Ngannou physically confronted UFC executive Hunter Campbell, admitting he initially dismissed the stories as unlikely because of the severity of the consequences.

“[Jon Jones] doesn't understand, fighters want to fight. Jon is the only fighter that doesn't want to fight. Jon is the only fighter that's ok taking 3 years off to drink some protein shakes... Now he's sitting out by choice… If Jon thinks he's gonna find a dance partner in [Alex] Pereira and one of the contingencies is that Pereira sits and does nothing for a year... It's not going to solve the problem, and it's also not going to solve Dana's problem with Jon and the White House”

“Let me give you the hot take of the day. If I'm in Jon Jones's shoes and I hear this and I feel this buzz, there's this huge fight and it has all of a sudden got my interest, but there's no title on the line. I can fix that real fast. I can say, 'I can fight you and I'll even find a world title, because it's gonna be yours. I'll see you at 205 pounds.' If Jon Jones does that, my partner, we're having a very different conversation”
