Francis Ngannou scared Chael Sonnen in a parking garage

In his incredible career, Francis Ngannou has established himself as an absolute wrecking machine, with the power in his hands to take out any man who’s brave enough to set foot in the cage with him.

With that said, it’s fair to understand why men his own size would be somewhat unsettled by him, never mind someone who is significantly naturally smaller.

Chael Sonnen has opened up about his experience of running into a ‘p***ed off’ Ngannou in a parking garage.

With full transparency, ‘The American Gangster’ confessed that it certainly wasn’t the nicest thing he’s ever had to go through.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, the trash-talker, said: “I end up face-to-face with Francis [Ngannou] in a parking garage in Texas. And he’s angry.

“To explain to you what that’s like in that moment, while maintaining my pride and ego—it’s a very interesting thing. I’m staring up at this guy—this is the biggest son of a b**ch I’ve ever seen.

“There’s something that changes when you’re in a parking garage, and he’s p***ed off. There’s something about staring at this guy. Oh my goodness, I’m going to have to kick this guy right in the nuts in a second.”

Ultimately, with the size difference taken into account, fighting off Ngannou probably wouldn’t have been a good idea.

However, at the peak of his powers, against men his own size, the Oregon native made for a lethal operator.

In one of the biggest fights of his career, he struck Michael Bisping so hard, that the Brit was transported to the ‘middle of a field on a bike’.

‘The Count’ has now explained exactly what he could see during that momentary period, while in reality, he was trading punches inside the octagon.
