UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is, at the very least, ‘on track’ with his recovery schedule. This bit of update came from his coach Eric Nicksick, who relayed the information to MMA Junkie Radio in a recent interview.
“I think he’s either ahead of schedule or on track, one or the other,” Nicksick said of his prized fighter. “And from what I’ve gathered (from UFC Performance Institute staff), he’s making great strides. He’s back in the gym moving around, hitting pads and stuff.”
The 35-year-old Ngannou underwent successful knee surgery in March for an injury he sustained during his UFC 270 camp in January.
