Ngannou's Coach Says He Questioned Himself After Loss to Gane
Francis Ngannou's coach, Eric Ngannou, has revealed that the former UFC heavyweight champion questioned himself after his shocking loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC 270. It was a tough night for Ngannou, who lost his title and his aura of invincibility.
Ngannou had been on a tear leading up to the fight, racking up impressive wins against Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis. He was the clear favorite going into the bout, and many expected him to dominate Gane. But Gane had other plans.
"Francis was very down after the fight," Ngannou said. "He really questioned himself. He's a warrior, but he's also human. He felt like he let everyone down."
Ngannou's loss was a major upset. It was his first defeat in five years, and it left many wondering if he was still the same fighter. Some even started to question his future in the UFC. However, Ngannou's coach believes that the loss was just a bump in the road.
"He's a fighter," Ngannou said. "He's going to come back stronger from this. He's going to learn from his mistakes and he's going to come back better than ever."
Ngannou's road to redemption might be a long one. He's got a lot to prove. He needs to show that he can bounce back from this loss and that he's still the best heavyweight in the world.
But Ngannou's coach is confident that he can do it. He knows that Ngannou is a fighter at heart and that he won't give up easily.
"He's a champion," Ngannou said. "He's got that champion's mentality. He's going to come back and he's going to take back his title."
Ngannou's next fight will be a huge test. He'll be facing a tough opponent, and he'll need to be at his best to win. But if he can pull off a victory, he'll prove that he's still one of the most dangerous fighters in the world.
This loss was a wake-up call for Ngannou. It showed him that he can't just rely on his power to win fights. He needs to work on his technique and his strategy if he wants to stay at the top of the game.
Ngannou's journey back to the top won't be easy, but it will be a fascinating one to watch. Will he be able to regain his title and his dominance? Only time will tell.
It's time for Ngannou to prove his doubters wrong. It's time for him to show the world that he's still the "Predator."
