American mixed martial arts veteran, expert and analyst Josh Thomson explained why the former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou deserves to be considered the best MMA fighter of 2023.

“I choose Francis for one simple reason: he tried to change our sport. I credit him for the courage it took to leave a place where he could make a lot of money and take risks that helped change the UFC.

Many people kowtow to the UFC and boxing promoters, but this guy behaved differently. Francis not only changed his life and his career, but also paved the way for other fighters in boxing,” Thomson said in the latest release of his YouTube channel.
