UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has wrecked his division with his brutal knockout power. After overcoming a bump in his career, Ngannou has risen as the biggest, scariest fighter in the UFC. However, Joe Rogan thinks Ngannou has more tools than just putting his opponents into the shadow realm.

On his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the veteran voice of the UFC, spoke about ‘The Predator‘ and his rematch with Stipe Miocic and even more.

Rogan said, “Once it’s in the MMA realm, everybody is f**ked. You put him in a cage; Everybody is f**ked. Give him a five-minute round; Everybody is f**ked. He’s gonna crush everybody. He’s too big, too strong.”

After praising the physical attributes of Ngannou, Rogan added, “He’s become clever, and he’s got really good coaching now. Like his fight against Stipe Miocic, so, the first fight he thought he was gonna knock him out, and he lost a decision.”

Then, Rogan gave four attributes that made Francis Ngannou the heavyweight champion, in the rematch at UFC 260.

“He showed composure and poise and patience and a great game-plan and just destroyed Stipe.”

Nevertheless, ‘The Predator’ left his previous think tank and joined forces with Eric Nicksick. Thus, with the new coach and a vastly unusual game plan, Ngannou achieved his dream of becoming a UFC champion.

Besides, in his last bout, Ngannou defended his UFC heavyweight championship for the first time. In addition, he did it against his former coach’s pupil Ciryl Gane, with whom Ngannou has trained before.
