Francis Ngannou recently saw the most high-profile fight of his career snatched out from under him.

But rather than take a step back, “The Predator” is on the hunt for an even bigger catch.

The 31-year-old heavyweight appeared on The MMA Hour on Monday to talk about his bout with Junior dos Santos that was supposed to take place at UFC 215 this Saturday in Edmonton, Alberta, only for it to be canceled when dos Santos was flagged for a USADA violation on Aug. 18. Officials were unable to find a replacement opponent for Ngannou.
