The Sheehan Show: What's Next for Francis Ngannou?

Sean Sheehan is joined by E.Spencer Kyte as they react to Francis Ngannou's Ultimate Fighting Championship departure.

It has been reported that Ngannou turned down a $24 million, three-fight contract with the UFC. If true, did Francis make the correct decision?

Francis was stripped of the UFC title, and is now a free agent. So, what is next for Francis; is it Professional Fighters League, One Championship or Bellator MMA? Perhaps a boxing match with Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder or Anthony Joshua?
