Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping spoke out on his podcast and commented on a hilarious incident involving Francis Ngannou. It was recently revealed that Ngannou was in the latest addition to the ‘Jacka**’ franchise featuring stuntman Steve-O. Ngannou was tasked with delivering a power punch right below the belt of one of the stars.
‘The Predator’ is known for possessing atomic levels of power in both hands and his KO rate is indicative of the same. The idea of Ngannou punching someone in the testicular region with full force is something Bisping couldn’t comprehend. In fact, when asked by his co-host if there was a dollar amount he would take to be punched by Ngannou in a similar fashion, Bisping had this to say.

“There’s no way! There’s no amount of money! That would explode a testicle. Francis Ngannou will pop you ba**s. They will explode like a balloon. If he punches you with bare knuckles to the testicles, it’s a bad day at the office. Simple as that.”

“They’re going to explode, they’re going to explode, simple as that. They’re not designed to withstand that kind of impact.”
Chiefly, there may be some merit to Michael Bisping’s use of hyperbole considering the firepower Francis Ngannou possess. He’s arguably the hardest-hitter on the entire UFC roster, rivaled only by the ‘KO King’ Derrick Lewis.

‘The Predator’ has a 100% finish rate in his professional career with 12 of his 16 victories coming by KO/TKO. Furthermore, he’s currently on a five-fight win streak wherein he’s knocked out out all five of his opponents.

Ngannou isn’t just power, he’s also extremely efficient. Prior to his win over Miocic at UFC 260 when he won the belt, he had knockout out four opponents in an average fight time of 40 seconds. The fighters he flatlined include former champions like Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos, as well as contenders like Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Curtis Blaydes.
