PFL founder Donn Davis made his feelings clear on Francis Ngannou following the promotion's latest event in Africa, admitting he was 'disappointed' by 'The Predator's' absence at their debut event in July.

The lineal UFC champion has had a rough few years, facing a knockout against Anthony Joshua in 2024, followed by the death of his son, Kobe. Over Easter this year, Ngannou was implicated in a motorcycle accident that claimed the life of a 17-year-old girl.
