MMA: the triumphant return of Francis Ngannou on video

Three minutes and 32 seconds: heavyweight star Francis Ngannou did not hesitate to dominate the Brazilian <a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/pfl-vs-bellator-champions-clash-in-historic-super-fight-series/" title=""PFL vs. Bellator: Champions Clash in Historic Super Fight Series"”>Renan Ferreir when he returned to MMA, Saturday afternoon in Riyadh, under the banner of the PFL.

Very moving, the Cameroonian gave his immediate victory to his son, who died last April at the age of 15 months. “I can’t think about anything but my son Kobe. I wanted to fight for it. I am glad I did this for my son. I hope his name will be remembered because without him we wouldn’t be here today,” he said with tears in his eyes and a slur in his voice.

Cristiano Ronaldo in the audience

Francis Ngannou, who left the UFC last year with a bang, won the “Superfight” championship belt of his new organization. After a little over a minute of fighting, he managed to take his opponent to the ground where he pinned him to the cage in anger. The referee had no choice but to stop the hostility, to the delight of the spectators, including Cristiano Ronaldo who came as a neighbor.

After a very obvious move to boxing, his teenage dream, Ngannou returned to the sport in Riyadh that made him a star.

“I lost the most beautiful belt, which I will never get back”

“It’s done, I’ve done what I’ve done and now I have to come back to my reality,” the champion said then. Speaking of the loss of his son, he said: “I lost the most beautiful belt, didn’t I’ll get back forever.”

“You know, this fight for me was also a way to find out if I could still fight, if I still had the strength, if I could handle the pressure, the week of the fight , the media and everything else. Yes, we will get through this, and I think it will take some time to digest things. »

For the future, Ngannou reiterated his desire to face Jon Jones, who holds the UFC heavyweight belt, a fight that is especially hoped for by fans. “I’ve been wanting this fight for four years or a little more. If I only had one fight to do and had to choose, it would be this one. »
