UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is speaking more about the knee injury that’s kept him sidelined for the last ten months. In a recent video he uploaded on his YouTube channel, “The Predator” detailed how it happened, even the exact date.
“The injury happened on Dec. 28, exactly three days after Christmas,” he said (transcript by MMA Fighting).
“We were sparring and I think he got overwhelmed,” Ngannou explained. “He shot a [desperation] takedown, and when I tried to turn around, I heard the crack on my knee. Right at that moment when you hear that on your knee, you know that something is happening.
