“Don’t Ever Touch My Face”- Francis Ngannou and Daniel Cormier Have an Exchange During an Interview Before UFC 270

The current UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and former champion Daniel Cormier had an exchange during an interview ahead of UFC 270.

UFC will have its first-ever pay-per-view of this year tonight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The event will feature two title fights. An intriguing heavyweight title clash between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane will headline the event.

Meanwhile, a flyweight trilogy between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueredo will serve as the co-main event. All the fighters have arrived in Anaheim. Furthermore, DC will be on the commentator team at the pay-per-view.

So, ahead of the event, DC is taking interviews with the fighter. And during such an interview, the former UFC fighter had a funny exchange with the heavyweight champion.

Before the interview, the pair sparred for a few minutes. DC said, “Can’t even take this guy down anymore. He’s wrestling now. You’re big – 275, 280? That is actually a nightmare for me.”

After the interview, as ‘The Predator’ tried to touch DC’s face, he said, “I know, I got it on purpose. Don’t ever touch my face. The one thing you would not do is touch my face. Please don’t do that. Now, I’ve got to go to the bathroom because you tried to punch me. God bless you.”

DC has been a heavyweight champion himself during his time in the promotion. However, he retired from professional fighting after he lost his last two fights against Stipe Miocic.

Meanwhile, the Cameroonian fighter became the heavyweight champion after dethroning Miocic in 2021. However, he hasn’t entered the UFC octagon ever since. But he will return tonight to make his first-ever title defense.

‘The Predator’ will be back in action after an 11 months’ hiatus from fighting. Previously, he had a few issues with the promotion. Hence, UFC snubbed him and set up an interim heavyweight title fight between Ciryl Gane and Derrick Lewis.

The Frenchmen won the fight and will now unify his interim title at UFC 270. ‘Bon Gamin‘ is an undefeated heavyweight fighter. He is also one of the best technical fighters. He is light on his feet and has a good pace.
