UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou: Title shot hasn’t been confirmed but ‘it’s just obvious’ that I’m next

Heavy-hitting knockout artist Francis Ngannou is undoubtedly deserving of the next heavyweight title shot against the winner of the upcoming championship rematch between Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic at UFC 241.

The Cameroonian fan favorite has won three straight fights since his title loss to Miocic and subsequent unanimous decision loss to Derrick Lewis, earning knockout wins over Curtis Blaydes and former champions Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos.

Despite his impressive three-fight win streak, however, the UFC hasn’t confirmed that ‘The Predator’ will fight the winner of Cormier vs. Miocic II, but Ngannou feels ‘it’s obvious’ that he’s next.
