Head of ONE Championship: Ngannou demanded a seat at board of directors

ONE Championship head of the league, Chatri Sityodtong, explained why the league stopped negotiations with former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.

He was asking for a seat at the board of directors, he was asking for him to determine his opponent's pay. We offered him £16million ($20million) guaranteed, the money wasn't enough, he wanted all of these other non-financial terms that didn't make a lot of sense.

Ngannou had his last fight against Ciryl Gane in January 2022 at UFC 270. Francis won that fight by unanimous decision.

Ngannou entered the Octagon in March 2021 against Stipe Miocic at UFC 260. That fight, which was stopped in the second round, ended in Francis' favor by knockout. He has 17 wins and three losses in mixed martial arts under his belt.
