Francis Ngannou, currently on a four first-round KO wins, is one of the deadliest heavyweights in the modern era. The 33-year-old is also a global superstar with his back to back sensational performances in UFC, teasing his debut into the boxing world several times in the past.

A few weeks ago, Ngannou was rumored to be matching up against Brit Heavyweight Dillian Whyte for an in-ring encounter. However, the rumors remained intact and nothing turned out to be fruitful with ‘The Predator’ being solely relevant in UFC.

Yet, that did not stop Ngannou from flexing his muscle power on social media. We all are aware of ‘The Predator’s insane knockout power. If landed clean, Francis can put any man to sleep, and he has deliberately done that several times inside the UFC cage.

No doubt, if Ngannou collaborates his insane KO power with super speed, he can be one of the most alarming heavyweights of the world.

Francis Ngannou claimed in the caption that his speed is getting better. The caption seemed to be a clear warning for his fellow UFC contenders.

The Predator’s UFC run

Francis Ngannou is probably expecting another shot at the UFC heavyweight gold now. He has had four vicious first-round knock victories in his last four appearances, boasting a 15-3 MMA record now. However, he has to wait until Daniel Cormier gets his chance against Stipe Miocic at the main event of UFC 252.

After UFC 252, Ngannou is seemingly next on the line. In UFC, Francis has lost only twice and both of them came via unanimous decisions. He lost against Stipe Miocic in his first title attempt at UFC 220 and lost this next contest against Derrick Lewis at UFC 226.

Since those losses, Ngannou has unleashed back to back vicious knockouts. He is currently the second-ranked heavyweight in UFC, waiting for his title shot.
