Francis Ngannou is one of the most established athletes to ever be born in Cameroon. So when he was fighting for the UFC heavyweight belt against Stipe Miocic last night, everyone in his hometown of Batie, Cameroon was tuned in.

While it was the middle of the night in Cameroon when Ngannou was fighting, the party was on after he secured the win with a brutal TKO of Miocic.

Check out the pure joy the people of Batie had when Ngannou won.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the party was still going in Cameroon.

Francis Ngannou took the loss against Miocic in their first fight in 2018. This time, it was a different story. He said that having the knowledge from already fighting Stipe helped him secure the heavyweight belt this time around.

“It was a great benefit from that fight,” Ngannou said on the pay-per-view broadcast after the fight via New York Post. “And I believe that benefit pushed me, rose me higher.”

As for his next fight? Ngannou wants Jon Jones, which would undoubtedly be one of the biggest fights in MMA history.

“For my opinion, Jon Jones is the greatest of all time for mixed martial arts,” Ngannou said. “… This time, he’s gonna be the challenger. I am the champ. He’s coming up. I’m ready any time.”
