Although ‘The Predator’ has made a name for himself in the UFC, a legend in the sport has advised him to follow Joe Rogan‘s advice in order to potentially make a comeback to the octagon. Regardless of what he decides, Ngannou‘s next move will be quite exciting for combat sports fans worldwide. Additionally, all eyes will be on him as he continues to make waves in the combat sports world.

Francis Ngannou has a challenger

Deontay Wilder might have all but confirmed that he would be open to fight Francis Ngannou in a two-fight deal that would include both boxing, MMA, or both. However, he also revealed that Ngannou has expressed interest in solely fighting in the boxing ring. While Wilder is still interested in exploring all options, the final decision rests with the former UFC heavyweight champ.
