Ahead of Israel Adesanya's fight at UFC 305 against Dricus Du Plessis he has hit out at Francis Ngannou's name being edited out of the latest press conference.
first submission loss UFC fans baffled by huge size difference as Dana White 's Contender Series rivals face offThe footage was used for the UFC 305 Countdown show, but it removes all mention of Ngannou, which was thought to be intentional because he left the company to pursue boxing bouts last year.
"It's part of what we've done. It's forever in history, in stone. So trying to whitewash it or just not talk about it is silly. The reporter who posed the question received a call from White 40 minutes after the Contender Series press conference was over with an update on the situation. “I'm in charge of everything production-related, so at the end of the day, the fact that it happened falls on me 100 per cent. It's my responsibility and I accept it.
