In one of his interviews, Francis Ngannou said – “He do crazy stuff with his kick, like, insane. Like, I watch his fight, most of the time, he’s not really like a boxing type of guy. I think his background might be something like karate or taekwondo. This is some style very special, so I know a lot about him.” 

“I always get impressed by his kick, and he always caught people with this spinning back kick. He’s so fast that you can’t see him coming.”  – ‘The Predator’ concluded.
