– Francis Ngannou recently spoke withMMAJunkie, Ngannou spoke about a possible clash with fellow heavyweight Derrick Lewis, here is what he had to say…

“I don’t think right now he can bring me something. I’m ranked higher than him (in the official UFC rankings), and I want someone in front of me. Someone who can help me have the title shot. That is my goal. And to fight Derrick Lewis – if I have to fight him, I’ll fight him. That is not the problem for me. But, today, I choose my opponent because of my goal. He’s too slow for me.”
