Francis Ngannou has returned home to his native Cameroon, carrying the UFC’s heavyweight title, and he received a massive welcome.

The 34-year-old fighter won the heavyweight crown last month at UFC 260, by knocking out Stipe Miocic in the second round.

Ngannou remained in the U.S. to help Kamaru Usman prepare for his title defence at UFC 261 last weekend. But, since then, Ngannou returned to Douala, Cameroon to celebrate his thrilling and historic win.

The new champion avenged his 2018, decision loss to Miocic with his victory last month. Ngannou now holds a record of 16-3.
