Video: Now back in MMA, is Francis Ngannou the best heavyweight today?

Francis Ngannou reminded the MMA world he’s still a dangerous man.

After more than two years away from the sport, the former UFC heavyweight champion returned to the cage this past Saturday in the main event of PFL: Battle of the Giants, where he stopped Renan Ferreira in the first round of their contest. Remember, although out of the UFC, Ngannou left as champion. His successful comeback certainly makes things interesting, not only for the PFL, but for the heavyweight landscape in general.

So, is it safe to say that Ngannou is still the beat heavyweight in MMA today? What should be next for him?

MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Dan Tom, Mike Bohn, Danny Segura, and host “Gorgeous” George react to Ngannou’s big win in his PFL debut.
