Francis Ngannou is one of the biggest men in the UFC. He stands at 6 ft 4 in and weighs in at 255 pounds. However, he was dwarfed by the sheer size and presence of the 7 foot 300-pounder Shaquille O’Neal. 

The duo met last June. In his tweet at the time ‘The Predator’ remarked, “I think this is the very first time that somebody has made me look so little.” A few seconds later, though, the UFC Heavyweight showcased his immense strength.

Fans didn’t know what happened after they took the photo. The mystery has now been cleared by Francis Ngannou, who posted a photo of him lifting the Basketball legend.  

‘The Predator’ carries ‘Shaq’ for a few seconds before putting him back on the ground. O’Neal was smiling wide while in the air, and even commented on ‘the Predator’ not having body fat.

The NBA legend remarked, “yeah, that’s the first time I’ve ever been picked up.” Based on his reactions, Shaq seemingly enjoyed the moment, as there are not many other people who can lift him. He also wished ‘The Predator’ well in his next fight. 

The Cameroonian beat Junior Dos Santos in just 71 seconds in the first round just 2 weeks later. He has been in imperious form with the win, extending his undefeated streak to 3. 

The 2nd ranked UFC heavyweight rankings will fight Jairzinho Rozenstruik next. However, the fight has been moved twice. It was to headline the UFC Fight Night at Colombus. Later it was part of the UFC 249 event for this weekend at the Tachi Palace Casino Resort. 

‘The Predator’ has not fought in 10 months. Perhaps, he assumed that the video would serve as a reminder to fans about what he is capable of.

Will this fight be part of the UFC event on May 9th?
