Francis Ngannou vs Cristiano Ronaldo… This is the funny scene that was posted this weekend on social networks.
Francis Ngannou is no longer under contract with the UFC, having successfully defended his title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 a year ago before undergoing knee surgery. But negotiations for his new contract came to nothing, and since December 9, Ngannou is officially a free agent.
He leaves his title vacant. heavyweight and that same title will be on the line when the fight between Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane takes place at UFC 285 next March. From now on, The Predator is free to take his talent elsewhere, rumors sending him to the PFL, but above all, to a boxing ring.
This weekend, Tyson Fury provoked the former UFC champion by asking him to quickly sign a contract to box with MMA gloves.
In the meantime, Ngannou is traveling and he was in Riyadh this week…the city where he met former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently signed for the club from Al Nassr. And the two men had a good laugh simulating a face-to-face:

And Ronaldo scored:
« Great to find the world champion @francisngannou today!«
