Francis
Ngannou is on the road to recovery after recently undergoing
knee surgery.
The UFC heavyweight champion shared a video on Instagram of his
rehabilitation folllowing the procedure. Ngannou suffered a torn
MCL and a damaged ACL in sparring ahead of his unanimous decision
victory over interim title holder Ciryl Gane
at UFC 270. Ngannou underwent surgery last month and could be
sidelined for nine months.
UFC president Dana White admitted that the promotion
could create another interim heavyweight title as a result of
Ngannou’s absence. “The Predator” fought out his eight-fight deal
with the UFC at 270 and hasn’t reached a new agreement with the Las
Vegas-based promotion.
