Francis N’Gannou rightly feels his knockout win over Cain Velasquez should catapult him into title contention, but UFC president Dana White has other ideas.
‘The Predator’ knocked out Velasquez in just 26-seconds at Sunday’s UFC on ESPN debut, buckling the former two-time UFC heavyweight champion with a big right hand.
After earning the biggest win of his career and his 7th KO inside the Octagon, N’Gannou has called for a title shot against current champ Daniel Cormier.
Speaking to ESPN on the UFC post-fight show, however, head promoter White said N’Gannou will not be challenging Cormier for the heavyweight title anytime soon.
