Francis Ngannou Fight Record: How many knockouts does ‘The Predator’ have in his career?

Francis Ngannou has stormed through his opponents in the UFC. The African fighter has worked hard to take losses and bounce back with the spirit of a true champion. ‘The Predator’ has come a long way from working in Sand Quarries from a young age. He was born in a village in Cameroon and lived in poverty for most of his childhood. His father had a bad reputation for street fighting and eventually divorced his wife when Ngannou was only ten years old. Many notorious gangs attempted to bring Ngannou under their control, but the fighter decided to focus on a positive lifestyle and pursue boxing or MMA.

Ngannou has since then made it to the top of the mountain in the MMA world. The fighter rose through the ranks of the heavyweight division in the UFC with ease. He faced his most significant loss against Stipe Miocic when he challenged him for the title. But then, he made a massive comeback by winning his second fight against Miocic via knockout. This win helped him cement his legacy as one of the greatest heavyweight fighters in the world.

Francis Ngannou went from poverty and illiteracy to raking millions of dollars from pay-per-view fights and endorsements. His brilliance in the octagon has worried his fellow fighters and impressed fans to a great extent.
