Following his lackluster unanimous-decision loss to Derrick Lewis (20-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC) earlier this month, Ngannou (11-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) was on the receiving end of some harsh words from the UFC boss, who said the fighter’s “ego ran away” from him and that’s one of the reasons that contributed to the highly scrutinized pay-per-view co-headliner. In the wake of the fight, Ngannou admitted his performance largely came as the result of him having “fear” to pull the trigger after suffering a lopsided decision defeat to then-champ Stipe Miocic at UFC 220 in January. He said he “carried my fear from the last fight to this one,” apologized, and left it at that.
