UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou: I deserve title shot over Miocic-Cormier trilogy bout

Streaking UFC heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou has no problem with Daniel Cormier wanting to avenge his loss to Stipe Miocic, so long as the trilogy bout takes place after ‘The Predator’ secures his own championship rematch with Miocic.

Ngannou has knocked his last three opponents out in the first round, notching stoppage victories over Curtis Blaydes and former heavyweight champions Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez, which is why the Cameroonian knockout artist feels he’s more deserving of the next title shot.

“My concern is not about Daniel Cormier having a trilogy,” Ngannou said in a recent interview with MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin.
