Kamaru Usman wants to see fellow former UFC champion Francis Ngannou take some time off after suffering his first-career knockout loss. Ngannou (0-2) was knocked out cold in Round 2 of his boxing match against Anthony Joshua (28-3) last Friday at Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. Usman, who Ngannou revealed lent him $200,000 before his final UFC fight, wants to see his good friend recover before competing again. “When he feels up to it, me and my brother will have a conversation,” Usman said on his “Pound 4 Pound” podcast with Henry Cejudo. “We texted a little bit, but we’ll have a conversation, and my advice for him would just be take his time. At the end of the day, no one can tell you when that time is, that appropriate time is because he’s a professional.
