Reigning UFC 265-pound champion Francis Ngannou is coming off major knee surgery as a result of this “The Predator” is restricted in what he can do all through the health club. Simply put, now not extra pesky cardio machines to get in one of the simplest ways of heavyweight GAINZ.

How heavy?

“Such a lot, a lot more than I used to weigh,” Ngannou urged UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje in his latest YouTube video. “It’s been six months even if, six months since I closing fought and had to educate. No longer 3 (hundred) … 290, 293.”

Ngannou weighed 257 for his UFC 270 determine coverage towards Ciryl Gane.

Fanatics of former delicate heavyweight champion Jon Jones are starting to panic on Twitter, although “Bones” insists Ngannou — who boasts 12 knockouts in 17 wins — might be too slow and too wild to land the finishing blow.

Assuming that fight ever comes to fruition.

Jones has been attached to a possible Stipe Miocic fight while the promotion waits for Ngannou to make his recovery from kneehab. Or “Bones” might simply make a selection to bide his time, stay bulking, and soar correct into an immediate determine shot.

Which may in return give fans this heavyweight banger.
