Let us remind you that the WBC heavyweight champion defeated the former leader of the UFC heavy division by a split decision. At the same time, Ngannou, for whom this was his first appearance in the pro-fight, scored a knockdown in the third round.
“If this was MMA, it would be a massacre. Respect to Francis and Tyson for taking on the challenge. Francis won despite the judges' verdict. Both fought bravely.
May God bless the sport of fighting because for me, in today's often bleak world, it is a major distraction from what's going on. Thanks to the fighters, thanks to the guests! It was an honor to be at ringside,” McGregor wrote in X.
