Francis was no different. Ngannu spent his childhood in poverty. From a young age, the guy worked, combining part-time work. From the age of 12, he was a quarry on his career. It took a long time to break rocks and carry carts of rubble along a steep slope for a long time, and the result did not depend on whether Francis put his soul into the case. The guy was starving. Wages were not increased, the work was monotonous. By the age of 22, the young man had realized the degree of hopelessness and the need for change.

In the interview, Francis said that he was inspired by the film "300" about the fate of the Spartans. Ngannu donned boxing gloves and tried his hand as a fighter for the first time. In the biography of Francis Ngannu came a turning point, marked by the move to Paris.

The novice athlete had no acquaintances and money, so for the first 3 months he was homeless. He held trainings in the halls, where he managed to get during the day, and at night the athlete was on the street. He was trusted by the owner of one hall. First he allowed to leave things, and then to spend the night in his room.

The guy managed to find a job as a security guard in a nightclub. On weekends, Ngannu was busy, and he devoted weekdays to training. Francis liked Mike Tyson's fighting technique. The novice athlete saw in the legend of the idol, so time after time reviewed the performances of the fighter. Francis took note of some of the tricks.

Francis Ngannu held his first competitions in Paris and then competed in Geneva and Bahrain. The defeat he suffered in one of his debut fights forced him to set a new goal. First he struggled to prove something to himself, and then he got into the taste, and in 2015 he was signed by UFC representatives. The first six meetings ended in a five-fold victory, which was a record. Ngannu destroyed his rivals, remaining the undisputed leader in battle.

By May 2017, most of Francis' opponents had not opposed him for more than two rounds. Experts noted that the athlete has an amazing force of impact and plastic at a height of 193 cm and weight of 113 kg. Francis easily knocked out opponents. Ngann managed to defeat Alistair Overeem, who is considered the most powerful heavyweight of recent years. This triumph allowed to meet Stipe Miocic in the ring in the fight for the UFC title.

Curiously, for performances in the category, where the risk to health is greater, the payment for entering the ring is not as high as it may seem. Ngannu received $20,000 for his debut. Of these, half of the fee - for exit, and half - for the victory. For a Cameroonian, this amount was a real wealth. Further tournaments held in the U.S. cost more, but the fighter's earnings hardly exceeded $40,000. for a scrum, half of which was awarded for triumph.

As part of the UFC on Fox 17 tournament held in 2015, Ngannu defeated Luis Henrique, putting his opponent by knockout in the 2nd round. He then proved himself in a fight with Curtis Blades. The meeting took place in 2016 at the UFC Fight Night 86. Once again, the second round was decisive for the athletes.

The same thing happened in the battle with Bojan Mihajlovic. This was followed by a meeting with Anthony Hamilton, in which Francis won the sub-match in the first round, receiving the award for the performance of the evening. In 2017, Francis Ngannu defeated Andrei Orlovsky, showing the public a spectacular knockout. He again received a bonus for the performance of the evening.

Now Francis earns well. It provides for a family, often comes home and provides financial support to local children. Ngannu is proud of his origins and his own successes, so along with the French flag proudly poses with the flag of Cameroon. Francis has no wife and children. Personal life remains under the veil of secrecy, as the athlete does not advertise it.

In the winter of 2019, the Predator collided in the ring with Kane Velazquez and sent his opponent to the knockout. And in July 2019, the fighter faced Junior dos Santos in the UFC on ESPN 3 fight. The opponent was also knocked out. After the fight, Ngannu had to wait for the triumphant fight between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier to compete for the title.
