Ngannou ‘very happy’ with UFC’s decision to continue hosting fights amid COVID-19 outbreak

Although Francis Ngannou is currently without a venue for his upcoming heavyweight bout with Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC on ESPN 8, ‘The Predator’ is happy that the UFC brass are doing everything in their power to push forward in the midst of a global health pandemic.

Speaking to MMA Fighting in a recent interview, the Cameroonian knockout artist praised the UFC for continuing to host events while several other major sporting leagues have put a halt to all upcoming shows due to coronavirus.

“It’s good that it gets moved rather than gets cancelled,” Ngannou said.
