With that victory, he took his streak to four wins after beating Curtis Blaydes, Cain Valesquez, and Junior dos Santos before Rozenstruik. However, he is yet to get a shot at the title that’s currently held by Stipe Miocic.
Speaking with MMA Fighting, Francis Ngannou expressed his frustration with UFC and the champion for keeping him waiting all these months for a title fight.
Francis Ngannou is not sure when he will get a shot at the title
There was always going to be a delay in Francis Ngannou’s title fight because of the Stipe Miocic-Daniel Cormier trilogy, and he was well aware of that.
However, after Stipe Miocic won the trilogy in August 2019 via unanimous decision, word got out that the champ was not going to compete again in 2020. Dana White has recently said that Stipe Miocic vs. Francis Ngannou 2 will happen in March next year.
Francis Ngannou is not too confident about anything at the moment though.
After the fight with Daniel Cormier, an eye injury kept Miocic sidelined for several months, after which the coronavirus pandemic intervened. Being a part-time first responder, Miocic had other responsibilities to take care of during these crucial times.
Francis Ngannou says that he understood to all of that, and the only problem with the trilogy being delayed was that it held up the heavyweight division. Ngannou is confident that he was not the only one thinking like that.
