Jake Paul addresses Francis Ngannou's exit from the UFC, says he is still the heavyweight champion

The UFC heavyweight division no longer has a champion after the shock exit of Francis Ngannou. The Cameroonian fighter did not agree to the contract terms offered by the UFC and was subsequently released from the promotion.

Ngannou also declined the exorbitantly high payday offered by the UFC, which would have allegedly made him the highest-paid heavyweight fighter of all time.

Jake Paul took to Twitter to talk about Ngannou's exit and maintained that 'The Predator' will remain the heavyweight champion until he loses. Paul tweeted:

"Francis Ngannou is the baddest man on the planet & is a free agent bc he chose to be. He’s the heavyweight champ in MMA & will be until he loses. They [UFC] are not happy about this. But it’s reality, & they have to deal with it. They have to live with that everyday. @francis_ngannou"

Jake Paul recently signed with the Professional Fighters League and announced that he would be making his mixed martial arts debut in the new superfight division of the PFL.

Free agent Francis Ngannou could potentially join him at the promotion after a New Year's post by him showed an acquaintance in a PFL T-shirt.
