DARK SECRETS: Francis ngannou to hold talks with major mma promotion after ufc exit | Rare Historical Photos

Francis Ngannou will meet with ONE Championship boss Chatri Sityodtong to discuss a potential move to the promotion.

Ngannou, 36, split with the UFC at the beginning of this year after failing to reach an agreement over a new contract. The Cameroonian was linked to a highly-anticipated fight against Jon Jones for months but he opted to vacate his title and leave the promotion. Ngannou could now be set for a cage return as Sityodtong said on The MMA Hour: "I am going to meet Francis this Saturday.

“He has a bunch of offers on the table. He’s waiting for our final offer. He and I will sit down and talk and for sure; ONE can give him the biggest offer on the table out of all his bids, but it has to work for him, it has to work for us. I just believe that meeting somebody, you get the energy.
