Francis Ngannou is no stranger to expressing his feelings about UFC contracts. The UFC heavyweight champion has been in an ongoing contract dispute with the promotion, and has said in the past his issues go beyond that of larger fight purses . “It’s not simply money,” Ngannou told reporters at the UFC 270 post-fight press conference after defeating Ciryl Gane in his most recent outing. “Obviously, money is a part of it, but it’s also the terms of the contract that I don’t agree with.” Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold , who is on the verge of competing at UFC 278 , aired some grievances of his own at Wednesday’s media day as he sounded off about fighter pay . Apparently, Ngannou watched Rockhold’s interview, and his words inspired the heavyweight champ to fire off a series of Tweets critical of the UFC’s sponsorship restrictions
