Former UFC champion goes viral for accidental clash with a glass door Reddit: dan38495A former UFC heavyweight champion has gone viral, but this time not for their fighting prowess. Instead, they\u2019ve made headlines after accidentally shattering a glass door at a Las Vegas convenience store. Known as one of the most formidable heavyweights in the MMA world, Francis Ngannou has a track record of not just defeating but decimating many of the UFC\u2019s top fighters with his striking power. Back in the day, when Ngannou and UFC CEO Dana White were on better terms, White had some wild ways of promoting him. \u201cFrancis has the world record for the most powerful punch,\u201d White once exclaimed. \u201cHis punches are equivalent to 96 horsepower. That\u2019s equal to getting hit by a Ford Escort going as fast as it can. And it\u2019s more powerful than a 12-pound sledgehammer from full force overhead. Holy s***.\u201d But it seems even everyday tasks, like opening a convenience store door, can be a challenge for someone with Ngannou\u2019s strength. We\u2019ve all been there: mistaking a pull door for a push one. Usually, a \u201cPull Only\u201d sign saves the day and our dignity. But for Ngannou, there was no such sign. Security footage showed Ngannou casually approaching the store\u2019s entrance and attempting to push the door open with one hand. When that doesn\u2019t work, he gives it the two-hand treatment, and that\u2019s when the glass doors give way, leaving Ngannou staring in disbelief. Quickly realizing his mistake, Ngannou pulls the door open and strolls into the store. The store owner, however, is far from pleased. He storms out, pointing at the shattered glass and giving Ngannou a piece of his mind. It\u2019s not every day someone stands up to Ngannou, but this store owner wasn\u2019t about to let his door go down without a fight. But after Ngannou agreed to cover the damages, the mood lightened, and the two even posed for a photo in front of the now-shattered door. But it seems that this incident may be too good to be true, as some Reddit users are speculating that it could all just be a staged marketing stunt. The \u201csecurity footage\u201d was shared by a fresh Reddit account that posted to a range of MMA-related subreddits. Comments range from \u201cThis screams promotional video. Even has that grainy loop effect. Funny, but feels like fake news,\u201d to \u201cWhat\u2019s the angle here? Promoting the Fury fight or the store?\u201d Real or staged, the video has certainly stirred up conversation just in time for Ngannou\u2019s upcoming bout with Tyson Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
