Francis Ngannou anotó la mayor victoria de su carrera con una victoria por KO sobre Stipe Miocic en el evento principal de UFC 260 el sábado en Las Vegas para ganar el título de peso pesado.
Miocic (21-3, 15-3 UFC), quien derrotó a Ngannou (15-4, 10-3 UFC) por decisión unánime en 2018, se sintió abrumado por el poder de Ngannou desde el principio.
Ngannou ahora centra su atención en una superpelea contra Jon Jones, quien asciende a la división de peso pesado y busca mayores desafíos.
Después de la victoria del sábado, otros luchadores y otras figuras deportivas acudieron a las redes sociales para elogiar la increíble actuación de Ngannou.
If anyone is wondering if I really want to fight, the answer is yes. I also really want to get paid.
