Jake Paul talks about signing Francis Ngannou to MVP Promotions
Jake Paul recently shared his thoughts on signing former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou to his Most Valuable Promotions.
Following unsuccessful negotiations with the UFC, Francis Ngannou has departed from the promotion and is now considering trying his hand at the sweet science. He has expressed interest in facing off against some of the biggest boxers, such as Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Anthony Joshua, but has yet to find a promoter.
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Jake Paul mentioned that he had discussed the possibility of signing the Cameroonian heavyweight boxer to his promotion, The Most Valuable Promotions. Paul asserted that they would be able to provide more value to the fighter if he were to join their company.
Speaking of signing Ngannou with his promotion, Paul had this to say:
"We have talked, the Most Valuable Promotions team, we talked to Francis, and we think we can do a great job for him. We share the same vision on a lot of things. Hopefully, Francis sees this as well but regardless, we're always gonna be there to support him... Francis is a great guy and I think there's a lot of opportunities for us together"

Joe Rogan urges Francis Ngannou to return to UFC After earning a boxing payday
Joe Rogan, the UFC color commentator and host of the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, recently urged former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou to return to the UFC. In the episode, Rogan encouraged Ngannou to have a big-money heavyweight boxing match and then return to the UFC to fight the winner of Jon Jones vs. Ciryl Gane championship match.
Sharing his take, Rogan said:
"The perfect world is [Ngannou] goes over, has some big money heavyweight boxing fight. Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane have a fight. Jon wins, Ciryl wins, whoever wins is the UFC champ and then Francis comes back. He can totally come back. Francis, if you're listening, sir, please don't sign an exclusive contract."
Although the odds of Ngannou's return to the UFC are slim, there is still a possibility that he could come back if he competes in a boxing match before signing with another MMA organization, given his recent statement on a potential return.
