Ngannou suffered a knee injury three weeks before the fight against Gan

UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou said he suffered a knee injury three weeks before his fight against Cyril Gan.

“Three weeks before the fight with Gan, I tore the internal lateral ligament of the knee and damaged the anterior cruciate ligament,” quotes the words Ngannou MMA Fighting. — Training camp was tough.”

The fighter answered the question aboutwhy UFC president Dana White didn’t put a championship belt on him.

“Ask Dana himself, this is their decision. As for the contract, I don’t think it’s fair. I don’t feel free. I don’t feel like I was taken care of, unfortunately,” he said.

Ngannou defeated Gan by unanimous decision in the main event of the UFC 270 tournament, which ended on the night of January 23 in Anaheim (USA).
