5 Best African American UFC fighters

#2 Francis Ngannou

Francis Ngannou proudly represents his Cameroonian heritage

Having returned to the win column with a brutal TKO win over Curtis Blaydes on November 24th, 2018; Francis Ngannou's star-power -- which had taken a huge hit with back-to-back losses to Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis -- now seems to be well on the road to recovery.

Ngannou is presently 32 years of age, and fairly young for the Heavyweight division. "The Predator", beyond the shadow of a doubt, has a bright future ahead of him, and seems to have learnt a lot from his losses. Ngannou hails from Cameroon, and has been the recipient of a considerable amount of praise from fans and critics alike, for his social service work in his native country.

Ever since having achieved financial success in the UFC, Ngannou has contributed a significant amount of his earnings towards the betterment of his fellow Cameroonians.
