As if this needed anymore testing, the folks at UFC took Ngannou to undergo some sophisticated testing that looks like the kind of stuff Ivan Drago was doing in that Rocky IV movie. Remember when he punched those electronically-rigged pads and the numbers skyrocketed? Yeah, that happened in real life and it turns out that Ngannou supposedly the hardest-punching dude in the world, or at least the hardest so far to punch on this machine.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I currently hold the world records of punching power <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/thepredator?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#thepredator<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC218?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC218<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eZ1WLGaylU\">pic.twitter.com\/eZ1WLGaylU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Francis NGannou (@francis_ngannou) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/francis_ngannou\/status\/934170870334988289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span>&#8220;The hardest I&#8217;ve ever been hit in the gym \u2014\u00a0<\/span>what&#8217;s that beast&#8217;s name from France?

Francis Ngannou? He blasted it out of the park quite literally with 129,161 units. You know what Bruce Lee says though: Boards don&#8217;t hit back and Alistair Overeem will most definitely hit back. The biggest fight of Francis Ngannou&#8217;s career is very close on December 2nd and it has been hyped up by Dana White claiming Ngannou is the next big thing. If he manages to show off this punching power by dispatching a warrior like Overeem, then he lives up to all the hype.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/DragoTest.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-264337 size-full\" width=\"500\" height=\"271\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/25\/2017<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all knew Francis Ngannou hits hard, just ask the four opponents he&#8217;s stopped in the UFC with his thundering strikes.
