Francis Ngannou is arguably the most formidable heavyweight the world of MMA has ever seen. He knocked out Stipe Miocic in dominant fashion back in April 2021 to claim the UFC heavyweight championship, before defending the title against French contender Cyril Gane a year later. However, a contract dispute saw the Cameroonian leave the Octagon in acrimonious circumstances, and he has not fought under MMA Rules since.
