‘He was lucky’ - Michel Pereira details hotel confrontation with Francis Ngannou

Given his size, power, and reputation, UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is easily one of the most intimidating men to ever walk the planet. But some would dare to want that smoke, one of them being welterweight fighter Michel Pereira.

“Demolidor” apparently had an altercation with “The Predator” at their hotel lobby after UFC 270 in January. Both men competed and won their respective fights that night. Pereira and his team were apparently in party mode and Ngannou – whose room was right next door – wasn’t having it.

“We celebrated my victory at the hotel, had fun,” Pereire told Canal Encarada (H/T Ngannou_MMA fan page and MMA Mania).
