It’s with a renewed sense of purpose in life and a truly heavy heart that former UFC champion Francis Ngannou makes his eagerly awaited return to an MMA cage this weekend in Saudi Arabia.
The Cameroonian will make his Professional Fighters League debut against heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira in Saturday’s Super Fight title in Riyadh. Ngannou will do so though against a backdrop of unspeakable tragedy following the death earlier this year of his beloved 15-month-old son Kobe. “The best way to pay tribute to him, to honor him, is to do something positive.
His goal, perhaps one day, was to realize the dream of a professional combat sports career in America. The journey took him thousands of miles across land, mountain and sea before his ultimate arrival in Paris. Along the way, he spent time living in forests where hunger was an ever-present reality. “When you’re in the surviving mode, you do everything that it takes. Whether it’s finding food in the trash, you find food in the trash where needed.
