5 Future UFC Heavyweight Champions

#3 Francis Ngannou

Francis Ngannou possesses the scariest KO power at Heavyweight today

Francis Ngannou finally seems to have recovered from his decision losses to Stipe Miocic and Derrick Lewis earlier this year. Ngannou returned to the win column in style, by dismantling Curtis Blaydes in the very first round of their main event matchup in Beijing, China, this November.

Although the fight only lasted for about 45 seconds, Ngannou did show off excellent takedown defense against Blaydes, before styling on the latter with his brilliant boxing prowess. It's quite obvious now, that Ngannou's loss to Miocic was a game-planning error, whereas his defeat to Lewis was self-confessedly a confidence issue.

Nevertheless, now fully energized, Ngannou seems primed to take the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Should this man ever face Daniel Cormier, he'd likely have learnt from his grappling errors against Miocic.

And using that very experience against DC, Ngannou would stay patient, keep the fight on the feet, and systematically dissect Cormier with his superior boxing en route to a KO/TKO win...
