Cameroonian UFC star, Francis Ngannou knocks out his opponent under four minutes as he returns to MMA (Video)

Cameroonian mixed martial arts fighter, Francis Ngannou produced a shocking first-round knockout over Brazil’s Renan Ferreira at the PFL Super Fights event held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last night.

 

The 38-year-old heavyweight knocked out Ferreira with brutal ground strikes in his first MMA contest in nearly three years.

 

The 38-year-old broke down in tears as he dedicated the victory to his late 15-month-old son Kobe, who passed away earlier this year.

 

“I can’t think about anything [other] than my son Kobe. I only took this fight because of him,” said Ngannou.

 

“I went to fight for him. I hope they can remember his name because without Kobe, we wouldn’t be here tonight. I wouldn’t have fought.”

 

Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, stepped back into the cage after a 22-month absence, having fought in high-profile boxing matches against stars like Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.

 

He considered retirement earlier this year, but said he had chosen to fight on in memory of Kobe as a way of “honouring him”.
