Francis Ngannow emphasized on the octagon over the weekend, and following his victory over Rennan Ferreira, questions quickly followed about which sphere the “predator” would fight next.
Who will Francis Nganou fight next?
Francis Ngannow made an impressive return to the Octagon after nearly three years away from the sport as a heavyweight champion fighting the PFL Super over the weekend.
The “predator” looked as dangerous as he had ever returned, and within minutes the fight was over.

After the fight, Ngannou is asked in the ring what his next is and admits that he has plenty of opportunities to explore but has yet to choose what to do.
“It could be one (MMA or boxing),” Ngannou said. “I don’t know yet. I have no hands on that hand. I have no decisions. I think it depends on promotion as well. I don’t know.
Ngannou is currently the heavyweight champion in the PFL, so the fight to defend his title could be on the card, but whoever he faces will be a more problem for the Cameroonians.
John Jones could potentially become a potential opponent for ngannou if he could step into the octagon again and tackle that match potential in a recent interview. “There is a chance (we can fight).

Of course, a return to the boxing ring is possible, but that appears to be the least likely Ngannou’s option to be able to return to the UFC for the Blockbuster PPV event.
