MMA fans are delighted to see Francis Ngannou and Israel Adesanya together again.
A few years ago they were part of an African trio – next to Kamaru Usman – that dominated in the UFC.
Israel Adesanya and 'The Nigerian nightmare' have since lost their UFC belts. In the meantime, Francis Ngannou gave his title to pursue Boxing attacks with a lot of money with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
'The Predator' recently won the PFL Super Fights Heavyweight Championship by eliminating Renan Ferreira – but being part of the greatest rival of the UFC has not prevented him from supporting Adesanya for his comeback fight.

Francis Ngannou reunits with Israel Adesanya
Adesanya will return from two consecutive defeats in UFC Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening.
Rising Star Nassourdine Imavov stands in the way of 'The Last Stylebender' and another run in the middleweight title, which will be on the line when Dricus du Plessis and Sean Strickland will follow on UFC 312 next weekend.
Ngannou traveled to the Middle East to show support for his former UFC colleague and old friend.
On Wednesday, the former PUC champion Heavyweight shared different photos of him next to Adesanya, with a caption that suggested that he feels good about the opportunities of his friend against Imavov.
“Only 2 days before the fight for my brother, but he is stress -free and cheerful; He even looks younger! #wankandaforever, “Ngannou wrote before his commentary was flooded with fans happily responded to the healthy reunion.
What is the next step for Francis Ngannou?
Ngannou is currently in a great position because he brings Big money offers into two different sports.
Although it is 0-2 in boxing, it seems likely that his next fight will be in the square circle.
“If I had to guess, I would think that boxing would first get the opportunities he has,” said PFL -Baas Donn Davis recently.
“I don't want to say anything about that – that is his case for him to announce – but he has incredible boxing opportunities.
“So I think that comes first and MMA will probably come in second place. But what I believe you will see from Francis this year is an MMA fight in PFL and a boxing match from Francis. So I think Francis fans will see him doing one of one of one of the way this year. “
Former WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder is open to Boxing Ngannou, but only the time will tell who the Cameroonian knockoutist will be matched if he tries to finally record a professional boxing gain.
