Dana White and Francis Ngannou may not be on the best of terms, but that didn’t stop the UFC president from praising his performance.
After being down two rounds on a couple of the judges’ scorecards in the UFC 270 main event, heavyweight champion Ngannou (17-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) resorted to his grappling to rally for the decision win against Ciryl Gane (10-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC).
Ngannou, who entered the fight with a torn meniscus, was struggling on his feet before finding success on the ground, which caught everyone off guard – including White.
