Francis Ngannou shows off Agbada, tease next move after UFC
Francis Ngannou, a Cameroonian-French mixed martial artist, is teasing his upcoming transfer four months after becoming the sport's most well-known free agent.
In a recent video, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion posted on social media that he will presumably make a statement on his future on May 16.
Ngannou responds to the numerous skeptics of his decision to leave the UFC and enter the free market in the video.
The 36-year-old native of Cameroon departed the market leader in search of higher income and perks as well as the opportunity to pursue the goal of becoming a boxer.

Ngannou after leaving UFC
The talent of Ngannou was sought after by reputable MMA organizations like Bellator, PFL, and ONE Championship.
He was said to be in talks for fights with Tyson Fury, the heavyweight boxing champion, and Deontay Wilder, who he previously faced off against in the ring.
The Asia-based ONE Championship, which was considering the MMA options, declared this past week that it had moved on.
Ngannou allegedly declined a $20 million guarantee in favor of additional contract demands, including the opportunity to choose his opponent's compensation.
Ngannou's mother was seen rocking a PFL T-shirt on his visit to Cameroon after his free agency.
Ngannou responded to those who have accused him of squandering a great opportunity by including a shush emoji in his post.
The MMA world is now waiting for Ngannou to make his decision soon.
