Conor McGregor received an invite for the matchup and will arrive in Saudi Arabia for the bout. McGregor believed that Ngannou may have difficulty landing a big knockout shot, but it was still possible.

McGregor analyzed the matchup on X. This is what he said about the crossover boxing bout:

Francis has power. Francis has big power with a striker’s mentality. If it gets a bit tougher for him in the later rounds, the striker mentality will withstand versus if it was a mixed martial artist’s mentality. With power, with that anything can happen. Mike Tyson in the corner — that type of style could be a kryptonite of a long, rangy distance type of fighter in Tyson Fury.
