Kamaru Usman- A very significant addition to Francis Ngannou’s team

The 170lb king of the UFC is the latest and probably the most significant addition to the Cameroonian-French’s corner. The experience he possesses as a fighter along with his championship mentality will surely help Francis in fulfilling his dream to become the titleholder.

Plus, they are very close as they have so much in common. This will give the challenger a mental boost prior to his fight. Apart from this, sparring and training with a fighter of Kamaru Usman‘s caliber will not serve as a confidence boost for Ngannou, but it will improve his skills too which is a must if you are going to fight someone like Miocic.

The 34-year old has a great team and people surrounding him. It is very likely that Francis’ preparation under these men will surely bring great results in his fight for the belt at UFC 260. Who do you think will emerge victorious? Let’s know your opinions in the comments section down below.
