Even if you hit Francis Ngannou with your best shot, you’re likely not going to hurt him.
Just ask social media influencer “Money Kicks,” who wasn’t able to even merely faze the UFC heavyweight champion in the body shot challenge during Ngannou’s visit to Dubai-based gym TK MMA and Fitness.
Ngannou sipped away as “Money Kicks” unleashed a barrage of punches to his abdomen, before giving up and saying “Oh my God, this guy doesn’t feel anything” in frustration.
It was a good effort @MoneyKicks1 💪 😂 #bodyshotchallenge pic.twitter.com/FNzdleSB65

Ngannou, who realized his dream by capturing the heavyweight title with a knockout of Stipe Miocic in March, recently had a disagreement with the UFC that saw the promotion opt to create an interim heavyweight title fight between Derrick Lewis and Ciryl Gane, which headlines UFC 265 on Aug. 7.
