Video: UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou provides update on knee surgery recovery

Francis Ngannou is on the road to recovery.

Ngannou underwent knee surgery to repair a torn MCL and damaged ACL in his right knee, which he suffered ahead of his unification against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 this past January. The UFC heavyweight champion defeated the former interim champion via unanimous decision, the first of his professional career.

Now days removed from surgery, Ngannou has shared a video of his ongoing recovery process. The ‘Predator’ was shown getting stitches around his knee removed and using cupping therapy during a recent visit to the UFC Performance Institute.
