Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou is an absolute specimen of a man. The Cameroonian’s size and power are part of what made him a sight to behold for fight fans. Several reputed heavyweights in the UFC have become a part of Ngannou’s highlight reel. In fact, Ngannou’s size is so formidable that bodybuilding legend and Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger had to acknowledge it. ‘The Terminator’ posed for a picture with ‘The Predator’ recently. The difference in their sizes was as surprising to ‘Arnie’ as it was to the fans.
To add insult to injury, the 6 ft 2 former Mr. Olympia posed alongside another athlete bigger than himself and Ngannou, making himself the smallest figure in the frame. The 75-year-old took to Twitter to give a cheeky description of the picture himself.

Arnold Schwarzenegger poses with Francis Ngannou
NFL star Mekhi Becton recently shared a picture with Francis Ngannou and Arnold Schwarzenegger on his Twitter. In the caption, he wrote, “Just coolin with some GOATS!!!” The New York Jets offensive lineman looked thrilled to be in the company of the two iconic figures.
In a response to Becton, Schwarzenegger wrote, “It was great meeting you my man!” Becton replied, “It was great meeting you as well!!! Hope we cross paths again!!!
In another quoted tweet, the 7-time Mr. Olympia made a joke about their size differences. He wrote, “Now I know how Danny feels.”

The veteran actor was likely referring to fellow actor Danny DeVito. DeVito and Schwarzenegger worked together on the 1988 film Twins. ‘The Austrian Oak’ was taking a friendly swipe at the 4 ft 10 DeVito with his comment.
However, he did have a point. Ngannou and Becton made Schwarzenegger look like the DeVito among them. Ngannou is a towering figure that stands 6 ft 4 inches tall. Becton is bigger than both of the others in the picture with a staggering 6 ft 7 inches figure.

Becton weighs a monstrous 363 lbs while Ngannou’s heaviest recorded UFC weigh-in was 264 lbs. However, the ex-UFC star has gone up as high as 290lbs while in recovery from knee surgery. In comparison, Schwarzenegger weighed around 235 lbs while competing and 260 lbs during the off-season.
There are not many people that can make Arnold Schwarzenegger look like the average Joe. Yet Francis Ngannou and Mekhi Becton did it with ease.
