Israel Adesanya has criticized the UFC for attempting to erase Francis Ngannou's legacy, following the omission of Ngannou's name from promotional videos for UFC 305. Adesanya emphasized that Ngannou's contributions to the sport are indelible and should be acknowledged despite his departure to the PFL. Ngannou left the UFC after disputes over contract terms and the freedom to pursue boxing, resulting in high-profile matches against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Ngannou's humanitarian efforts and financial generosity towards his trainers highlight his character beyond the octagon. His coach Eric Nicksick shared emotional stories of Ngannou's support, underscoring his lasting impact on those around him. Despite current tensions, Adesanya believes the UFC will eventually recognize Ngannou's historical significance.
