Eric Nicksick shares thoughts on Francis Ngannou being involved with PFL Africa

Xtreme Couture coach Eric Nicksick recently weighed in on Francis Ngannou's involvement with PFL Africa as part of his monumental deal with the promotion.

During his recent appearance on Submission Radio, Nicksick shared his thoughts on 'The Predator' being named the Chairman of PFL Africa and why it was significant for the former UFC heavyweight champion:

"That was, to me, was the very first thing that he felt like he was a part of something dynamic. He was a part of something, not only as a fighter, but as a part of their growth for the future. When we beat Stipe [Miocic], I felt the love from the an entire continent as just as his coach, man."
