On March 28 in Las Vegas, the fighter of 1m93 for 113 kilos, nicknamed "The Predator", had beaten in Las Vegas by KO the American Stipe Miocic, holder of the title. Francis Ngannou had thus become the first African to obtain this world consecration in the most prestigious of leagues, the American Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
