Saturday’s UFC 226 bout between Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou in Las Vegas received strong criticism for the way it played out, and UFC president Dana White took particular aim at the latter fighter’s performance.

Dana White Blasts Francis Ngannou After UFC 226

“Horrible,” White called Ngannou’s performance during the post-event news conference, before adding that the fighter’s arrogance hurt him in Saturday’s fight. “I think that he had a pretty quick rise here and obviously the fight over Alistair Overeem catapulted him. Everybody was talking about him. I thought he was going to be the next guy. I think his ego ran away with him. Big time. I can tell you that his ego absolutely did run away. The minute that happens to you in the fight game you see what happens — you start to fall apart.”

Ngannou and Lewis logged a combined 31 landed strikes in their 15-minute matchup on Saturday. Lewis ultimately won the contest by unanimous decision.

Ngannou started his career with a record of 11-1. After knocking out Overeem last December at UFC 218, he faced off against Stipe Miocic, who at the time was the UFC heavyweight champion. Miocic easily defeated Ngannou via unanimous decision in January to keep his belt.

On Saturday, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier beat Miocic and called out former UFC champion Brock Lesnar — now a WWE fighter — Lesnar then entered the Octagon and started verbally attacking Miocic and Ngannou after pushing Cormier.

On Wednesday, UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway pulled out of this weekend’s UFC 226 bout against Brian Ortega after being hospitalized with concussion-like symptoms.

“He was showing concussion-like symptoms before he even started his weight cut and was rushed to the ER on Monday where they admitted him overnight,” Holloway’s management team told Sports Illustrated in a statement, before adding that he was still undergoing tests in the ER.

Holloway, 26, previously withdrew from UFC 222 against Khabib Nurmagomedov in April because of an issue regarding the required weight for the bout. He was thus not medically cleared to compete for that event.

Nurmagomedov offered his support for Holloway on Twitter:

In other UFC news, Conor McGregor is expected to make a return soon, the Irish fighter’s head coach told ESPN on Wednesday. McGregor, who will be 30 this month, was arrested in New York in April after he attacked a bus full of UFC fighters in Brooklyn. He is reportedly seeking to reach a plea deal with the city’s district attorney, and is set to appear in court on July 26.

McGregor (21-3) last fought in the UFC in November 2016. Last year, he lost to Floyd Mayweather in a highly-touted boxing match.
