‘Make Me Feel Like My Nose Gonna Break’- Tyron Woodley Details Dealing With Francis Ngannou’s Inhuman Strength in Gym

Francis Ngannou will make his return at UFC 260 as ‘The Predator’ finally gets his second shot at the UFC gold in his rematch against Stipe Miocic. Ngannou will have a point to prove after being dominated by Miocic in their first fight at UFC 220. His power will once again be his best bet going into the rematch. In a recent interview, Tyron Woodley explained what it’s like to experience that power.

The former UFC welterweight kingpin, ‘T-Wood’ was working in the gym with Ngannou. But that was enough for him to know and feel how much strength and power the heavyweight packs around everything he does. But he also believes Miocic is underrated and should triumph in the rematch too.

Speaking to Helen Yee, Woodley said, “I was just in a gym with Ngannou and he was working on some single leg and he like grabbed his leg and his strength and his power like he didn’t even he don’t really quite grasp it and I noticed how fucking strong he is.”

“I don’t know what I would do because I never felt nobody just put that much my face and make me feel like my nose gonna break,” he added.

‘The Chosen One‘ will also make his return at the UFC 260 card. He fights perennial welterweight contender Vicente Luque. The former champion will look to get back to winning ways, as he is currently on a three-fight skid since losing his title to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235.

Can Francis Ngannou finally become a UFC champion at UFC 260?

‘The Predator‘ will finally look to achieve the highest honor in MMA, i.e. the UFC gold. He got his shot at the belt at UFC 220 but was manhandled by Miocic. A loss to Derrick Lewis at UFC 226 was followed by four back-to-back execution of top contenders within a combined timing of 2 minutes and 42 seconds.

Francis is certainly on a roll in the division and has put the champion on notice yet again. But Miocic is confident about being able to recapitulate his first performance.
