Why you should sponsor me for your next influencer campaign?

 Francis Ngannou, is not only a proud Cameroonian, but also one of the biggest names in the UFC right now. Francis is known for his immense punching power, having recorded the hardest ever punch at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. UFC President Dana White describe the force of his punch as stronger than that of a 12lb sledgehammer being swung full force. He is the current undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion and riding a 5 fight win-streak. This streak began with a 26-second knockout over another MMA Legend and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez in Phoenix, Arizona on the UFC’s inaugural fight on ESPN. This event was a MASSIVE ratings hit for ESPN. Francis made his motion picture debut in FAST AND FURIOUS 9 (aka F9), which was released in 2021. This is the 10th overall entry in the franchise starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham; which has earned over $5 billion total worldwide. Additionally, he has opened a Mixed Martial Arts gym in his home country of Cameroon to give back to the community and allow kids the opportunity they may not have had to train in the sport.
