UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou shared his emotions after defeating Cyril Gan.

“I knew he was a tough opponent, there is no doubt about that. He had a good fight, he was a little surprised by the fact that he lasted until the end of the fight. All I had to do was listen to the coaches about keeping my cool, not running after the opponent.

There was a difficult camp, I had a torn meniscus and an injured cruciate ligament three weeks before the fight. You guys have forgotten what I’m capable of, but here I am again. My coaches pulled up my wrestling great, now I’m on a different level. Thanks to my family, to all my fans around the world, to my country Cameroon. I felt great love from my home country. What’s next? As I have always said, boxing has always been what I want to do. I don’t want to shelve the idea of ​​a boxing match“Ngannou said in an octagon interview after the fight.

Ngannou defeated Gan via unanimous decision at UFC 270 in his first successful title defense.
