This stuff is legendary. Dana was trying SO hard to line up Jon Jones for that fight to deny Ngannou from having his way. Literally some of the most petty shit ever.

The news is important because it shows a potential pathway for superstars to find success outside of the UFC. Given that Ngannou was left-leaning and refused to parley under traditional UFC contracts, this can be considered a great victory for worker's rights in the most reductionist of ways: the workers (albeit, highly paid) stuck it to the shrieking corporation (the UFC).
