Francis Ngannou was recently recognized as one of Marvel’s Mightiest Athletes on Earth at ESPN’s sports humanitarian awards
Francis Ngannou is a mean killing machine. He has arms that can break through walls. A modern-day Mike Tyson. And hence, his nickname- ‘The Predator’.
Ngannou who hails from Cameroon is currently the UFC’s heavyweight champion. He won the title after beating Stipe Miocic, earlier this year at UFC 260.
Almost all the opponents he has faced have been destroyed by his supreme power. He has totally 16 wins in his MMA career, of which 12 have been via. knockouts and 4 via. submission. None via. decision!
The Cameroonian also holds the record for the world’s most powerful punch. It is believed that Ngannou’s punch is equivalent to getting hit by a Ford Escort at full speed.
In just 6 years time, Ngannou has grown to become one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

“An honor to be recognized as one of @Marvel’s #EarthsMightiestAthletes at @espn’s #SportsHumanitarian Awards. The Predator meets The @theblackpanther. Thank you very much for the award.”
