Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Francis Ngannou hits as laborious as a Ford Escort.
No person is aware of exactly what which means, however again when “The Predator” was on good phrases with UFC, the promotion cherished to promote his fearsome punching prowess. The UFC Efficiency Institute (PI) has a machine designed to soak up affect and register simply how a lot drive went into the blow, and for a few years, Ngannou has dominated because the record-holder and de facto energy punching king since 2017.
Not.
On a latest episode of the JRE MMA Present, UFC coloration commentator Joe Rogan sat down with top-ranked Welterweight contender Sean Brady. The submission ace hasn’t set any punching data that we find out about, however in accordance with the duo, Francis Ngannou’s file has been upset by rising Middleweight expertise Joe Pyfer.
“That motherf—ker hits so laborious,” Rogan stated about Pyfer. “We should always inform all people that he broke Francis Ngannou’s file on that punch machine.”
“They weren’t attempting to provide it [the record] to him,” Brady responded.
Rogan continued, “They didn’t wish to register it, and I don’t perceive why. Why didn’t they wish to give it to him?”
“I don’t know,” Brady answered. “The man was saying one thing was bizarre with the machine … He [Pyfer] did it like 3 times! 3 times in a row.”
“Oh, so the man didn’t wish to consider it?” Rogan concluded in laughter.
Let’s get the machine calibrated and get “Bodybagz” again in entrance of it! Pyfer could not have fairly the resume of Ngannou, however the 27-year-old expertise has confirmed the ability in his palms within the cage, having stopped eight of his 12 wins by way of knockout. He’s subsequent scheduled for his first major occasion slot reverse Jack Hermansson in February from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As for Ngannou, he’s nonetheless within the strategy of checking how laborious he can hit in laced up gloves. He’s anticipated to attain a $20 million paycheck in March when he squares off with Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia. Maybe that payday will ease the ache of a misplaced (maybe unofficially) file?
