Francis Ngannou shared that Kamaru Usman suffered from an injury

Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou shared some insights into Kamaru Usman’s camp after his loss at UFC 286. ‘The Predator’ mentioned that Usman was suffering from some injuries and did not train properly for the fight.

Ngannou said, “Usually when people get knocked out, they don’t come back in the fight. Like, they will be like wobbly, he [Usman] was there before tonight which is like a lot of steps back. I know that he didn’t train, he didn’t have to train properly because of a lot of injuries, but he was there.”

However, reports suggest that Usman was seen training for the fight but it is possible an injury held him back.
