Francis Ngannou was entertained but not impressed with Ciryl Gane’s knockout of Tai Tuivasa at UFC Paris.
The reigning UFC heavyweight champion admitted it was an electric fight with plenty of back-and-forth action but was reluctant to give Gane credit for his Fight of the Night performance.
‘The Predator respects ‘Bon Gamin’ as a fighter but admits it’s hard to be impressed with a man he has already beaten decisively, reminding everyone who the champ is during Saturday’s ESPN+ post-fight show (h/t MMA Junkie).
“That fight was very electric, though,” Ngannou, who was ringside for UFC Paris, said after the fight.
