Israel Adesanya believes Francis Ngannou has earned his place as the greatest heavyweight of all time.
"People are prisoners of the moment. They forget. They forget who this man is or who people are. So, yeah, I'm glad he reminded everybody why he's the best, why he's the one, why he's Francis Ngannou," Adesanya said on his In what was a career-best performance, Ngannou dispatched heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic in their rematch at UFC 260.
"Stipe is the last one that I can remember people saying. Well, it was Cain first and then Stipe. Right now, people still hold Stipe as the greatest of all time in the heavyweight division, but I think he's one of the greatest," Adesanya explained.Miocic and Ngannou did leave their series tied up at 1-1, as Miocic won their first encounter in 2018 by unanimous decision with Ngannou getting his revenge years later by emphatic KO.
