Ex-heavyweight champion of the UFC, Francis Ngannou is one of the hardest hitters in the world, whether in MMA or boxing...
About Francis Ngannou's Rock Solid Height
There is only one way to put this -- Francis Ngannou is built like a brick shithouse. He is built like a Rock more than The Rock.
Francis is tall and extremely strong, so strong that one punch of his is enough to put down just about any human being! Francis is so big that even giant Shaquille O'Neal (7 ft in his prime) didn't look so big next to him.
Francis Ngannou's height has always been listed in UFC as 6 feet 4 inches. But there is talk in the town that he is actually 6'5", since he looked taller than other 6'4" guys like Alistair Overeem, Junior Dos Santos, Israel Adesanya, and Stipe Miocic.
But we don't think that's the case. The thing is -- all the above-mentioned guys aren't really 6'4". Junior Dos Santos and Overeem are around 6'2½", Israel Adesanya is not even 6'3", and Stipe Miocic is around 6' 3½". Only Jon Jones and Ciryl Gane seem to be really around 6'4".
We don't know why UFC does this. Perhaps it is taking a leaf out of WWE's book, where a 5'10" tall Kurt Angle is listed as 6'2" and a 6'3" The Rock as 6'5"...
Anyway, after looking at Francis Ngannou, standing with the above-mentioned big guys, we think Francis is 6'4" and not any taller than that.
A 6'9" Tyson Fury didn't actually look that much taller than Ngannou because Fury isn't actually 6'9". He is more like 6'7½". Surprised? Nobody actually.
The real height of Francis Ngannou is
6 ft 4 in (193 cm)
