Francis Ngannou’s defensive wrestling is still very much a question mark heading into the Stipe Miocic rematch, but Xtreme Couture head coach Erick Nicksick has assured us that ‘The Predator’ has improved leaps and bounds in that department since the first fight and is ready to prove the doubters wrong at UFC 260.
Nicksick says Ngannou has been working on his wrestling everyday in preparation for UFC 260 and that the Cameroonian knockout artist has even been ‘blowing through guys’ with takedowns of his own.
“We had to implement [wrestling] in every practice that we do,” Nicksick told MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin ahead of Ngannou’s rematch with Miocic at the weekend.
