Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou shared his thoughts on Al-Nassr forward and Portuguese national team player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Francis Ngannou for Sportsbook Review
He loves combat sports. I think Cristiano is the kind of guy that maybe when he was younger, you could have said doesn't have the attributes to be a player. But he's such a hard worker, disciplined and focused on what he wants. I think he has even the only attribute that you need to become a fighter. Dedication and discipline.
Ngannou's last fight was against Renan Ferreira in October 2024 at a PFL event, where he won by knockout in the first round.
He made his MMA debut in November 2013 against Rachid Benzina at 100% Fight. That fight also ended in the first round, with Ngannou winning via submission. He currently has a mixed martial arts record of 18 wins and three losses.
