Ngannou Confessed Borrowing $250,000 From Usman Before Leaving UFC

Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou admitted to facing serious financial difficulties before his departure from the world's premier league.

MMA Fighting quotes Ngannou as saying:

Francis Ngannou
You were talking earlier about the contract that I turned down. I took $600,000 for my last fight in the UFC as opposed to $5 million that they were offering for the same fight. And I was broke. At the time I owed Usman $200,000. I was broke. It’s true!

Usman, 36, fought against Khamzat Chimaev in October 2023 in the co-main event of UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Chimaev won by majority decision, with 20 victories and four losses on his record.
