“Don’t Know S**t About MMA”: Amid Octagon Fight Talks With Francis Ngannou, Deontay Wilder Throwing Back Kicks in the Resurfaced Video Draws Scathing Fans Remark

Francis Ngannou just shocked the world through his fantastic performance against Tyson Fury. Some experts and fans have even gone as far as to suggest that Ngannou won the fight despite being handed the loss by the judges. Nevertheless, many in the industry have speculated if Ngannou should face one of Fury’s former rivals. Who is this opponent? Fans and experts alike want to see Ngannou face none other than Deontay Wilder in his second fight against a boxer.

Among all the people talking about the potential clash, PFL founder and co-owner Donn Davis’ voice holds the most strength. However, amid all this excitement about the potential fight between Ngannou and Wilder, an old clip of the ‘Bronze Bomber’ has surfaced online. In the clip in question, Wilder seemingly attempted some sort of spinning back-kick. It did not come off well, which would be an understatement, evident from all the scathing comments the clip received online. 

Poor attempt at executing a kick makes Deontay Wilder the butt of the joke

While talks of a Wilder vs. Ngganou bout is gaining traction online, the clip has fans questioning if Deontay Wilder stands a chance of winning. The user who shared the clip on X (formerly Twitter) wrote alongside the video, “Some people don’t know s**t about MMA.” While some criticized Wilder’s skills in the ring, others have mocked the heavyweight boxer.

One user remarked on Wilder’s boxing skills and footwork in the ring, implying Wilder did not have many boxing skills to begin with. 

Another user mocked Wilder’s kick by asserting that he was trying to escape a bee attack and get off a bike at the same time.

Someone else made fun of Wilder’s legs by comparing Wilder’s legs with a bird’s leg. It’s worth mentioning that despite having a broad frame, boxing fans often criticize Wilder for his thin legs.

While most users decided to poke fun at Wilder and his technique, this user questioned if the person in the video was Wilder.

The next user went into detail, describing why Wilder has won so many fights in his career. According to the user, Wilder is not technically gifted but makes up for it via instinct and power.

With the stage already set for a potential fight between Ngannou and Wilder, some experts have chimed in with their takes on the fight.

However, what really ignited the flames of anticipation was an appearance by Donn Davis in the show. 

During the interview, Helwani questioned Davis about his interest in Deontay Wilder. Davis promptly responded by claiming they were trying to get Wilder onboard to get into the ring with Francis Ngannou. His exact words were, “[Wilder vs. Ngannou] that is one of the two possibilities. And obviously, that would be fantastic.”
