Francis Ngannou after UFC Beijing win: ‘I finally saw the light’

Prior to his win over Curtis Blaydes on Saturday in Beijing, China, Francis Ngannou was on a two-fight losing streak. People around him, along with UFC president Dana White were led to conclude that “The Predator” had developed an “ego problem.”

Now that he was able to break the skid, Ngannou is feeling rejuvenated. In an Instagram post he released after the fight, he also admitted that he had to overcome some adversity.

I finally saw the light yesterday night at UFC Beijing by overcoming my darkness which dragged me deep to the bottom .
