Francis Ngannou enjoys famous Cameroonian street food during trip to his homeland
Francis Ngannou recently posted a photo of his trip to Cameroon on Instagram.
At UFC 270, Ngannou defended his title for the first time against Ciryl Gane, winning via unanimous decision. This victory is the Cameroonian's first unanimous decision win of his career.
'The Predator' shocked the world by displaying immaculate wrestling skills and taking down 'Bon Gamin' on several occasions, ultimately ending Gane's unbeaten streak in MMA.
Having overcome one of the biggest uphill battles of his UFC career, 'The Predator' has taken time off to visit his homeland. On his Instagram handle, Ngannou posted a picture of Cameroon's staple food with the caption:
"B.H.B"
Check out the post below:
B.H.B stands for Beignet Haricot Bouillie. The staple food comprises of stewed beans, beignets (french deep fried pastry), lemongrass, and fermented-corn porridge. The food holds a certain significance in Cameroonian culture. It is mainly served in the morning for breakfast but can also be found on Cameroonian tables at any time of the day and on different occasions, including weddings and parties.
Ngannou is expected to be out of action for the foreseeable future due to a knee injury.
