Ngannou Breaks Silence on Tragic Accident that Took a Young Woman's Life

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou addressed the tragic accident that killed 17-year-old Ntsama Brigitte Manuella while riding his bike.

Francis Ngannou
From the very beginning, I have been by the family’s side, offering support, comfort, and deepest condolences during this time. I’ve met with them privately to share in their grief, and I will continue to stand with them every step of the way. I carry their pain with me, and my unwavering thoughts and support remain with them as they face this heartbreaking loss.

It was earlier reported that in Cameroon, Ngannou hit Ntsama Brigitte Manuella with his motorcycle. The fighter took the girl to the hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery but unfortunately passed away days later. Ngannou's last fight took place in October 2024 at the PFL Super Fights - Battle of the Giants event, where he defeated Renan Ferreira by knockout in the first round. He holds a record of 18 wins and 3 losses.
