PHOENIX – UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou believes he’s done enough to earn a fight with champ Daniel Cormier . “I think he should come to avenge his teammate, and that would be a good matchup,” Ngannou (13-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) told reporters at Talking Stick Arena in Phoenix, where he took just 26 seconds to put away ex-champ Cain Velasquez (14-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC). Cormier (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) is Velasquez’s longtime training partner and currently is sidelined due to a back injury. Not only that, a fight with ex-champ Brock Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) could be his next outing when he returns. Ngannou, though, is skeptical that Lesnar, who served a one-year suspension and underwent six months of drug testing to be cleared to compete, will make it to a potential contest.
