The Ngannou fight has two leading theories: that the guy who willed himself from extreme poverty to the other side of the world like some 19th century pulp protagonist got completely broken mentally by losing once. Or that he tried to lose. I think he tried to lose cause his strategy could have produced no other possible outcome and I'm generally skeptical of "this professional fighter is actually a coward" theories. and also that it really, really looked like he tried to lose.

Okay im sold he fought with a gameplan that could only lead to defeat and is different from every way he fought before because he is a coward. Well off to the computer factory

There's a light heavyweight who is not in the top 15? How is that even possible

I think part of it is the UFC would rather pay a fighter less and have them be not famous than pay them much more and have them become a star they lose control over. Most of that comes from their new business model of content content content, needing to fill hours so let's have a revolving door. But at least part of it is also management short sightedness and greed. The Reebok deal, Dana's willingness to publicly trash talk fighters as a negotiating tactic, and the disinterest in ongoing promotion for fighters all come from this.
