Bare Knuckle FC Fist Fighting League president David Feldman has spoken out about talks with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou of Cameroon.
Francis Ngannou, he’s somebody we’ve certainly reached out to. We just feel like he’s asking for unrealistic money, and we’re not willing to pay that kind of money for him. I do think he needs to make his mind up pretty soon. As the days go on, his value is starting to drop a little bit.

Ngannou left the UFC in January of this year. Francis' last fight in the promotion was against Ciryl Gane last January. Ngannou won that fight by unanimous decision.
Ngannou won the UFC heavyweight title with a second round knockout win over Stipe Miocic. Francis has 17 wins and three losses in mixed martial arts under his belt.
