Okay, so, I got this idea to check out how hard Francis Ngannou, this MMA fighter, really hits. I mean, I’ve heard people say the guy punches like a truck, but I wanted to see for myself, or at least get a better idea, you know?
First off, I started digging around the internet. I found some stuff from a while back. It’s said his punch is like 96 horsepower. To be honest, I don’t even know how much it is. I just continued to search.
Then, I kept searching to see if I could find anything more concrete. It mentioned somewhere that his punch is like getting hit by a Ford Escort at full speed. It is also mentioned that the power is equal to a 12-pound sledgehammer swung from overhead. That’s… pretty intense.
So, what did I do? Well, I tried to visualize it. I’ve never been hit by a car, thankfully, but I can kind of imagine it. And a sledgehammer? Yeah, I’ve used one of those before. Getting hit by one swung by someone who knows what they’re doing? No thanks. It would be a disaster.
Results
My takeaway from all this? Francis Ngannou hits really, really hard.
- Visualizing the hit: Imagining getting hit by a car or a sledgehammer really puts it into perspective.
- Data: 96 horsepower, a Ford Escort, a 12-pound sledgehammer – I have a general idea of his punch power.
- Conclusion: He is known for his punching power. That’s true.
I am not sure if I’d want to be on the receiving end of one of his punches. It’s pretty clear why he’s so successful in the octagon.
