Looks like Francis also wants to get hit by the Nemkov steamroller. The Russian has very high chances of defeating Ngannou. I’ve sparred with Nemkov many times. I know how strong, technically solid in striking, and functionally fit he is. We will be rooting for Vadim. I am 100% confident that Nemkov has everything it takes to overcome Ngannou.
On December 13th at PFL Lyon, Vadim Nemkov submitted Brazil's Renan Ferreira in the first round to become the league's heavyweight champion. Nemkov’s record stands at 19 wins, two losses, and one no-contest.
Francis Ngannou last stepped into the cage in October 2024. At the PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants event, he knocked out Ferreira in the first round. Ngannou’s career record is 18 wins and three losses.
