Dana White reacts to ‘Unbelievable’ Francis Ngannou, Tyson Fury fight: ‘The fact he went 10 rounds is crazy’

UFC CEO, Dana White has described former undisputed heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou’s 10 round fight with WBC champion, Tyson Fury as “unbelieveable” in his first reaction since the showdown earlier this month, claiming the fact the Batié native lasted the entirety of the fight is “crazy” in his opinion.

Ngannou, a former undisputed heavyweight titleholder under the banner of the UFC, departed the White-led promotion back in January of this year in unceremonious circumstances, following the completion of his contractual obligations back in December of last year.

In his final Octagon outing, Cameroon native, Ngannou turned in a successful title unification win over then-interim champion, Ciryl Gane, handing the Frenchman his first professional loss in a unanimous decision defeat back in January of last year in the main event of UFC 270.
