Francis Ngannou struggling to stay motivated during long stint of inactivity

Top UFC heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou is tired of waiting around.

The 34-year-old Cameroonian has had just under three minutes of cage-time since November 2018 and he is yearning for a five round bout opposite current champion Stipe Miocic.

With his last bout, a 20 second destruction of Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC 249, coming all the way back in May, Ngannou is frustrated about with his current stint on the sidelines—and he’s not afraid to say it.

“It’s been a lifetime [since I last fought],” said Ngannou in an interview with MMA Fighting.
