Francis Ngannou is one of the toughest men in the UFC
UFC Heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou is one of the biggest hitters in the sport. The French-Cameroonian star wants to fight Stipe Miocic for the UFC Heavyweight title and has been upset over not getting a shot yet.
However, Ngannou is still preparing it seems for a fight. There were talks of a clash against Jon Jones, but that was negated by Dana White. Financial issues between the UFC and Jones seemed to be the problem, and it will be interesting to see what happens with Ngannou next.
Ngannou is known for his punching and kicking power, but he can take hits too. Most of the UFC stars have to be strong while taking punches and a video has surfaced of the 33-year-old taking punches from a youngster in training.
Now, Ngannou was wearing protection and the sparring partner wasn’t the biggest. However, the 33-year-old was laughing away as punches flew at him while the partner stopped after exhaustion.
A few weeks back, another video has surfaced. This one saw Ngannou almost kicking the life out of a training partner, and that was hilarious as well.
Miocic vs Ngannou would be an amazing clash, however, there is one major problem with that. Daniel Cormier has called out Miocic for a trilogy fight, and Miocic is keen on taking up that too.
Cormier has also suggested that this would be his last UFC fight. Miocic, on the other hand, hasn’t confirmed when he can fight since he is busy being a first responder during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Ngannou has voiced his displeasure over both the title shot and the fight against Jones not happening. He is still one of the biggest names in the UFC, and White has to figure out a solution for the power-hitter.
