Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou faces criticism for sarcastic response to haters on social media

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is under fire for his recent sardonic riposte to detractors on social media.

The Cameroon-born mixed martial artist posted on his social media handle, flaunting his white Mercedes G-Wagon, while seemingly acknowledging his current situation with various promotions.

'The Predator' posted on Twitter:

"Just out here fumbling the bag."

Francis Ngannou left the UFC in January after failing to reach a new contract arrangement with the organization. The 36-year-old was supposed to defend his heavyweight championship against Jon Jones, but he declined the bout in order to renounce his title and explore other opportunities.
