UFC 220’s Francis Ngannou wants to show Africa, ‘you have a right’ to dream

Francis Ngannou fights for the UFC heavyweight championship title this weekend at UFC 220 in Boston, MA. Leading up to this moment, the France-based Cameroonian, has beaten six other UFC heavyweights, stopping each with either punches or a submission.

Standing between the 31-year-old and a gold belt is Stipe Miocic, who has won his last five contests, stopping each with punches. In the build-up to the heavyweight clash both men have engaged on social media (and in press conferences).

When asked by Bloody Elbow if he enjoyed the verbal sparring with Miocic, Ngannou paused.
