**Francis Ngannou remains a free agent after parting ways with the PFL in March 2026 and competing for MVP in May, where he stopped Philipe Lins via first-round knockout.** His only prior MMA outing under that deal was a 2024 first-round finish of Renan Ferreira. Persistent tensions with UFC president Dana White, stemming from their 2023 contract impasse, continue to block any path back, with White publicly dismissing reunion prospects. At age 40, Ngannou has prioritized boxing bouts and non-UFC MMA while showing no recent negotiations or roster developments pointing to an Octagon return before year-end. The 93% implied probability on “No” reflects the absence of reconciliation signals or scheduling movement amid these competing priorities.
