French fighter happy with his victory

On the night of March 28, the UFC 260 tournament took place in Las Vegas, the main fight of which was a heavyweight rematch between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou. The Cameroonian knocked out Miocic in the second round and became the new world heavyweight champion.

After the fight, Ngannou commented on his success.

“Before the knockout, he hit me with his right hand, but I was not shocked. I just retreated to get back in position. My coaches, my team were here, Usman was with me for three days. All he did was yell at me: “Calm down, relax, calm down, calm down!” At that moment, I said to myself: “Calm down, nothing happened.” I took the first round, so I continued to work the same way. And he made a mistake, he flew at me. Maybe he thought he hit me or something, but at that moment I caught him,” Ngannou said.
