“Calling Jones” Francis Ngannou’s vigorous training footage has fans reacting to the best ways to avoid him
Follow Us
Ngannou and Jones have been going at each other for the past year
Imagine being the one on the receiving end of Francis Ngannou’s punches. A three-month camp, a possible weight cut, and months of eating healthy all gone in the blink of an eye before you wake up not knowing where you are. However you don’t have to imagine what it’s like since Ngannou’s gym XCMMA has provided us with point-of-view footage of what it’s like to fight The Predator.
Drilling some new moves on the pad, Francis can be seen working on a combination consisting of a straight right-left hook- spinning back fist, with the latter being a rather novelty punch for someone as rigid as Francis. No matter how bad the form may look, it’s still not easy to forget while watching that this man had the heaviest hitting punch in the world right now. As Dana White put it, “Being hit by a ford escort going full speed”
However some fans believe that they have what it takes to handle these combinations from Ngannou while others believed that with some assistance they could get the job done. Here are the best reactions to Francis’ latest workout.
Francis Ngannou working on his spinning back fists gets a reaction from fans
This fan believed his best chance was to forget morales and attack the weakest part on Ngannou’s body, he’s surgically repaired knees
Some others had combat advice for a professional fighter surrounded by a professional camp
While this fan already saw people mentioned above coming through
This fan didn’t turn any corners and honestly replied the best answer to Francis’s bombs would be gunpowder
While another just wanted to make light of Francis seeming visibly tired in the short footage.
Another had the idea to duck under the ounch and take him down, one good Samaritan offered essential advice to ensure he can go through with the takedown.
If this logic were to be fool proof Henry Cejudo would have all the belts by now.
And of course the Jon Jones comparisons were inevitable
Some fans thought Jon Jones would make the perfect partner and their best bet to take Francis down
If only Stipe Miocic had this man in his corner, the Heavyweight Championship would still be in Cleveland right now
It is to be seen if Ngannou mixes up these new moves when he makes his return to the octagon. That would certainly be a sight to see.
