Watch Shaquille O’Neal’s reaction as UFC’s Francis Ngannou lifts him like a feather

Shaquille O’Neal is a towering man, but lifting skyscapers is a Tuesday for Francis Ngannou

“The Predator” posted a video of him and “Diesel” catching up in a gym. The two giants posed for a photo together. Shaq complimented Ngannou’s lean physique, but he was not prepared for what was next. The one-time UFC title challenger shot in and lifted this author’s namesake like it was nothing.

“Yeah, that’s the first time I’ve ever been picked up,” Shaq divulged to the cameraman.

Ngannou (14-3) will supposedly fight Jairzinho Rozenstruik (10-0) at the UFC’s planned May 9 card.
