The UFC heavyweight champion’s head coach, Eric Nicksick , believes there are many bright days ahead for his pupil and the promotion. While Francis Ngannou and the UFC are at odds in an ongoing contract dispute , Nicksick remains optimistic that both sides will eventually settle their differences. As a head coach, Nicksick tries to stick to the training and gameplanning side of things but admits there are times he wants to provide his input. “I understand that this is a business, and I try to allow management to handle those kind of things, so I never really try to step across, and I just try to stay in my lane,” Nicksick recently told MMA Junkie Radio. “I do understand that the UFC, essentially, they pay a lot of my bills. Not them personally, but the fighters that fight for the UFC.
