What's next for Francis Ngannou?
Since the fight has just finished, it is difficult to contemplate what is the future course for Ngannou. However, considering the controversial nature of the split decision win of Tyson Fury, a rematch could be on the cards. We never saw Conor vs Khabib 2.0, nor, the situation propelled the rematch of McGregor vs Mayweather 2.0, but since Fury vs Ngannou was seen in a similar light and was a closer contest, it comes as a huge possibility.
If the rematch does not come about then Ngannou being a part of PFL, would look to make his debut in the promotion and could begin his domination there. Who could be the possible opponent there would be a discussion of some other day but as of now this seems like the possible step forward for The Predator.
