Francis Ngannou ‘100%’ open to potential UFC return: ‘The best competition is in there’

Former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou would “100%” weigh up a potential return to the Octagon according to his long-time head coach, Eric Nicksick — particularly due to his competitive side.

Ngannou, who exited the promotion in less than acrimonious circumstances at the beginning of 2023, has fought just once in the cage, following his high-profile move to the PFL (Professional Fighters League).

And twice fighting in professional boxing, Ngannu would push former undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury in a close decision loss.
