Francis Ngannou looks enormous in latest training video, claims he’s close to 300 lbs

UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has been in Colorado recently, helping his friend Kamaru Usman prepare for his UFC welterweight title defence at UFC 278. ‘The Predator’ uploaded some footage of that trip and showed off a much larger physique than we are used to seeing from the Cameroonian.

At one point in the video Ngannou chats with UFC lightweight Justin Gaethje. With Gaethje, Ngannou discloses that he is around 290 lbs — 25 lbs over the UFC heavyweight limit.

The video also shows Ngannou doing light work in the pool and around Trevor Wittman’s Elevation Fight Team gym.
