Over the past few weeks, Francis Ngannou has remained a hot topic in the entire fight world. He made a mammoth statement by dethroning Stipe Miocic and cementing himself as the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion. Ngannou put a career-best performance in this fight and garnered the attention of one and all.
Recently, the ‘Predator’ was in Mike Tyson’s Hotboxin podcast. Here he was accompanied by the American Mixed Martial Artist, Brendan Schaub. The trio here discussed whether Ngannou should put up his own fight organization.
‘Iron’ Mike said, “Listen, a guy like him, you know what a guy like this can do, he can make his own organization. I’ve been doing it.”

But Brendan Schaub didn’t quite remain on the same page with Tyson. He felt Ngannou has just won his heavyweight title and there’s still so much more on the way for him.
Schaub even added that there’s one enigmatic contender in form of Jon Jones, who’s waiting to get his hands on the ‘Predator’ for a long time. He feels until and unless Ngannou gets past such petrifying opponents, he shouldn’t transition his focus anywhere else.
More than anyone else, Francis Ngannou himself is excited to defend his heavyweight strap against the stout Jon Jones.
Right after his gratifying win over Stipe Miocic, the Cameroonian Mixed Martial Artist expressed his interest in battling the ex-light-heavyweight champ.
