Ngannou was third-to-last on the main card and defeated Philipe Lins via first-round knockout. However, much of the attention surrounding the fight shifted after Dana White went live on Instagram during Ngannou\u2019s walkout to announce the return of Conor McGregor, who is set to face Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 11.<\/p>

The timing of the announcement, given McGregor\u2019s star power, was viewed by some as a slight toward Paul\u2019s growing combat sports promotion, which he believes could eventually rival the UFC.<\/p>

\u201cA lot of people think that I hate the UFC\u2026 I\u2019m an MMA fan,\u201d Paul said. \u201cI grew up watching the UFC\u2026 but I think the whole landscape is going to change\u2026 There can be prestigious fights elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>

He added that he does not believe White is worried about his promotion but criticized the timing of the announcement during Ngannou\u2019s fight.<\/p>

\u201cThat just shows you how pressed they are,\u201d Paul said. \u201cLittle insecure boys trying to piggyback off our event.\u201d<\/p>

While White may have done it for competitive reasons against a rival promotion, he has also previously shown frustration specifically toward Ngannou, who was formerly a UFC champion. White has even referred to him as a \u201cbad guy.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cFrancis Ngannou is a bad guy. He\u2019s not a good guy,\u201d White said in 2025. \u201cHe plays the whole \u2018I don\u2019t understand the language\u2019 and tries to come off that he\u2019s a [expletive] nice guy. People go, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s the language barrier probably.\u2019 There\u2019s no [expletive] language barrier with this guy. He\u2019s a bad guy.\u201d<\/p>
