Francis Ngannou, the UFC HW champion, is probably the hardest puncher in the history of combat sport. However, on the ‘Jacka** Forever’ movie set, one of the cast members tested the Predator’s power, taking a punch in the groin.

Ngannou, on his YouTube channel, posted a video of the BTS clip. In the video, Ngannou revealed that they performed the act genuinely.

He said, “At first I didn’t know that it was like real and I thought that I’m gonna go there and pretend like hitting him or something down like. No, we don’t pretend here.”

Here’s the video of Ngannou hitting one of the cast members, Ehren McGhehey.

Earlier, Johnny Knoxville, the lead character of Jacka** Forever, set up McGhehey and told him a lightweight will punch him. When McGhehey saw the UFC HW champion walking out to punch him, it terrified him. Ngannou, in a report, revealed he had to do multiple takes before landing the perfect shot.
