Francis Ngannou's swift victory over Brazilian Philipe Lins continues to spark reactions on social media. Following the Cameroonian's spectacular knockout at the MVP MMA 1: Rousey vs. Carano event, Ivorian comedian Michel Gohou shared a humorous message that quickly went viral.
Known for his quirky style, Michel Gohou humorously commented on the speed and violence of the fight. "@francisngannou even if it's true that you hit people for a living, your opponent is still a responsible man, a father, a husband with a family. You hit him in front of the whole world in less than 3 minutes, is that okay? No, it's mean," he wrote on his social media.
The fight, which marked Ngannou's return to the MMA arena after notable appearances in boxing, took place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Ngannou, a former UFC heavyweight champion, only needed a few minutes to defeat Lins, a former PFL heavyweight champion. The referee stopped the fight at 4:31 of the first round.
This victory propels Ngannou back into the MMA spotlight, reigniting debates about a potential clash with other big names in the sport such as Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones. Some observers noted the irony of UFC CEO Dana White announcing Conor McGregor's return just as Ngannou was making his entrance.
In the meantime, Michel Gohou's humorous reaction continues to entertain internet users, adding a light touch to Ngannou's impressive performance. The question of who Ngannou's next opponent will be remains open, but one thing is certain: his return has caused a sensation.
