As of this writing, Francis Ngannou’s immediate fighting future remains hanging in the balance. “The Predator” fought out the last fight in his current contract at UFC 270 against Ciryl Gane, and there is no confirmation on whether or not he will re-sign with the organization.
If he does choose to pursue free agency, he’ll likely have a new home right away. As confirmed by Bare Knuckle FC president David Feldman in his Wednesday appearance on The MMA Hour, they are planning on signing “the biggest name in free agency” today. But they’ll only make a move once Ngannou and the UFC part ways.
