Francis ‘The Predator’ Ngannou is one of the most devastating strikers in the world right now. He has legit one-punch knockout power and has shown that multiple times inside the octagon. ‘The Predator’ made an instant impact in the promotion with a second-round knockout of Luis Henrique at UFC on Fox 17.

He went on a run and challenged Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title, but came up short. The Cameroonian mixed martial artist lost his next fight as well to Derrick Lewis. However, he bounced back impressively.

Since the loss to Lewis, he has not looked back. He has won five fights in a row and in his last bout; he took revenge on Miocic and won the heavyweight title in the rematch at UFC 260.
