Francis Ngannou's journey started in Cameroon, where he was born, raised and studied. Because the family is poor, the nunnou often lacks books and has to go to school in a state of hunger.
When the hunger reached the peak, he had to search for the trash, and search for leftovers to be thrown away. Returning to the commentator UFC Joe Rogan, nunnou said:
“I will have to go to the market at night to find leftovers in the trash.”
“Sometimes I mumbled with the mouse in it -” Remove this tomato, it's mine. This rotten tomato is mine, not you. “
Ngannou realized his dream was to become a boxer at the age of 22 while still living in poverty and a motorbike taxi driver.
After three years of meager training and information searching, the martial artist was 1m93 tall to France, nothing but dreams and aspirations, the amount of money in the pocket was so little that there was no need to leave the bank account.
In France, he switched to MMA competition because it was easier to find a battle. And so, the road to the UFC of the Cameroon boy began.
After five impressive victories and a defeat on the transcript, Ngannou reached the peak that many MMA boxers desired – signed a contract with UFC – in 2015. Notably, the nunnou achieved this after only 2 years of playing a professional – a short time to an impressive level.
The story of the nunnou is still not over, especially when he is having the second chance to become the UFC Heavyweight champion.
His opponent is Stipe Miocic, who defeated him when they compete for the first time three years ago. They will rematch at UFC 260 on March 27, this is the opportunity to “remove hatred” nunnou has been waiting for a long time.
