He’s the next one I’d like to fight.” After Ngannou notched his fifth straight octagon win in dominant fashion, UFC President Dana White was wrestling with the choice to fast-track the surging heavyweight or develop him further. “It’s one of those tough decisions when you have a guy that’s this talented and this freakish,” White said.
