“And what the f*** do I even have to do with that? So I should stop my walkout and take a look at what’s occurring with [Dana White]? I don’t care, bro,” Ngannou said. “Let’s move on. Life goes on, I’m doing my stuff here, I’m doing well, I even have no problem. Everybody can do whatever they need.”
