More about Francis Ngannou:
Ngannou embarked on a journey that took him through several countries in Africa, including Cameroon, Morocco, and Algeria, before eventually making the perilous journey across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. He arrived in Spain, where he spent time living on the streets before eventually settling in France in 2013.
In France, Ngannou began training in boxing, hoping to pursue a career in the sport. Despite his late start in combat sports, his natural athleticism and raw power quickly caught the attention of trainers and coaches. He started competing as a professional boxer in 2013 and amassed a record of 5 wins (all by knockout) and 1 loss before transitioning to MMA.
Ngannou made his professional MMA debut in November 2013 and quickly rose through the ranks with his devastating knockout power and imposing physical presence. He signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the premier organization in MMA, in 2015 and made his promotional debut in December of that year.
Throughout his UFC career, Ngannou has established himself as one of the most fearsome heavyweights in the sport. With his exceptional striking ability and knockout power, he has scored impressive victories over some of the division’s top contenders. In March 2021, Ngannou fulfilled his dream of becoming the UFC Heavyweight Champion by defeating Stipe Miocic via knockout.
Outside of the octagon, Ngannou’s inspiring journey from poverty in Cameroon to becoming a world champion in MMA has captured the attention of fans worldwide. He has become a role model for aspiring athletes and an advocate for giving back to his community in Cameroon. Despite his success, Ngannou remains grounded and humble, acknowledging the struggles he faced on his path to greatness.
