Videos have been surfacing lately of Francis Ngannou attempting the body shot challenge. While doing the challenge, the person receiving the shots normally has a protective gear on so as to not injure themselves.
‘The Predator’ however, ditched the gear and ate body shots flush as one fighter after another tried their best to hurt the Cameroonian.

It is no secret that Ngannou does not have the best wrestling, and it was exposed against Stipe. Towards the end of the fight, in the championship rounds, Ngannou was exhausted to a point where he could not even keep his hands raised.

Going into this fight, Ngannou plans on entering the octagon much lighter and leaner than he did the first time around. Through this, he hopes to be more nimble on the feet and have more endurance than he did the last time out.
He is also seemingly preparing for Miocic’s body shots that troubled Daniel Cormier in their second fight. Do you see ‘The Predator’ walking out as the new heavyweight champion?
