Francis Ngannou analyzes Renan Ferreira
“This has two effects…[It] can be a lot of pressure for [Ferreira] or [it] can really get him in his best…When people manage, people are hyped and they manage whether they overdo or just do like, properly in the limit, so this has two effects. He’s excited, he knows that this is his ticket for the first class.” Quotes via Sportskeeda
