Ngannou planerar att knocka Overeem och hade följande att säga genom FLoCombat om sin match.
It’s a good matchup, definitely. I knew that I would fight Alistair Overeem one day, so I’ve been ready for this fight since a long time ago. I think after this fight, there is no way to not give me [the] title shot. Overeem now is a bigger challenge than Junior dos Santos because he is on a good [run], He’s doing a good job right now and he keeps winning.
Alistair Overeem is a huge opponent. He’s a very good fighter with a K-1 background, and I think he’s [a] brown belt in jiu-jitsu. Two years ago, he changed his game plan and became a very, very good fighter. He’s very smart as a fighter, with a game plan and everything. He’s able to bring everything. I have [more] speed than Alistair. I’m stronger than [him], for sure (laughs). I have [a] knockout punch, and that’s what’s going to happen. I’m sure that I will get a title shot, because I’m the No. 4-ranked [heavyweight], so there’s no way to not give me the title shot after that.
Francis Ngannou har ett fighterfacit på 10-1 där han har vunnit på följande sätt, sex genom knockout samt fyra genom submission.
