Current UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou knocked out for a long time. The fact is that Ngannou will have to undergo surgery on his knee, which he injured 25 days before the fight with Cyril Gan. According to the manager of Francis Markel Martin, recovery from the operation will take up to 9 months.
It is worth noting that Ngannou plans to lie on the operating table only after he visits his native Cameroon. Thus, at best, the champion will be able to fight in December this year.
On January 23, Ngannou defeated Cyril Gan via unanimous decision in the UFC 270 main event.
