Former UFC Champion Francis Ngannou reveals his favorite Real Madrid player

Former UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, recently visited Real Madrid’s training facilities during the club’s pre-season in the United States. Among the players he interacted with, Ngannou named forward Vinicius Junior as his favorite Real Madrid player.

During his visit, Ngannou spent time with various players, including Thibaut Courtois, Luka Modric, Antonio Rudiger, Aurelien Tchouameni, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, and Eder Militao. When asked to pick his favorite player, he responded without hesitation, “Vini,” referring to Vinicius Junior.

Expressing his excitement about the visit, Ngannou shared, “To be so close, it’s different from watching it on social media.”

While currently under contract with MMA organization PFL, Ngannou has set his sights on a different challenge as he prepares to make his debut inside the squared ring against British heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury.
