Rising knockout artist Francis Ngannou has the toughest challenge of his career set before him. The division contender is set to challenge reigning heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic for his title. With that in mind, it would appear that Ngannou is nothing but confident in himself leading up to the highly anticipated heavyweight war. Now Ngannou has decided to double down in a new exchange with the champion over social media.
Stipe Miocic recently decided to take to Twitter to remind his fight fans of the four consecutive first round finishes that have put the title holder on a stunning five fight winning streak.
With knockout victories over Junior do Santos, Alistair Overeem, Fabricio Werdum and Andrei Arlovski, Miocic has racked up an impressive hit list of accomplishments inside the octagon. That being said, it would appear that Francis Ngannou is anything but impressed.
