Ever since Francis Ngannou stepped into the octagon, the question didn’t seem to be if he would be UFC champion, but when he would be UFC champion. The answer to that question was March 27, 2021.
Ngannou, the man who allegedly has power of a Ford Escort in his hands, put the pieces together in the main event of UFC 260 and captured the title with a little help from his opponent, Stipe Miocic.
In the lead up to the fight, Ngannou’s team swore he had tightened up his wrestling and had developed patience in his striking game and a better gas tank.
