Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou had mixed feelings after watching Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards fight for the third time. Ngannou hosted a UFC 286 watch party at his village in Batie, Cameroon, to watch his friend Usman attempt to bounce back from his knockout loss to Edwards, and regain the welterweight title. Ngannou’s reaction was captured in a video posted to his YouTube channel, where he was seen cheering Usman’s takedowns and criticizing Edwards’ blatant fence grab that led to a point deduction. When the fight concluded and announcer Bruce Buffer read the official decision in Edwards’ favor, Ngannou’s immediate reaction was one of disagreement
