Video: Francis Ngannou completely blanks Ciryl Gane backstage at UFC 268

UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou got into an awkward encounter with ex-teammate Ciryl Gane backstage at UFC 268 on Saturday.

Ngannou, who was in attendance to support Kamaru Usman prior to his welterweight title fight against Colby Covington, completely ignored Gane as he walked straight past him backstage at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The awkward encounter has been making the rounds on social media, check it out below.

It looked as though Gane, who used to train with Ngannou at MMA Factory in Paris, France, wanted to talk with Ngannou, but ‘The Predator’ clearly wasn’t interested.
