Francis Ngannou has been a prolific figure in the UFC, who rose the ladders of success through spectacular knockouts. Having KO-ed Stipe Miocic, Cain Velasquez, Alistair Overeem, and many others in devastating fashion, Ngannou is currently one of the most feared fighters in the world.
He was rumored to be in talks to sign with the PFL MMA, where Jake Paul recently made a move and announced to host a separate PPV Category. Besides, the ex-UFC champion can also face a heavyweight boxer to begin witnessing multi-million paydays.
UFC will continue the heavyweight division with a potential Jones vs Gane super-fight, which will be Jon Jones’ return to action since facing Dominick Reyes in February 2020.
