Francis Ngannou to get hair transplant

‘The Predator’ had a successful title defense at UFC 270 and he wants to use his money to upgrade his looks. The champ is in Istanbul, Turkey to undergo a hair transplant at the Now Hair Time Hair Transplant Clinic. However, the reigning UFC heavyweight champion clarified that he’s not changing his hairstyle. Instead, Ngannou pointed out that he’s doing the procedure to prevent going bald:

In a recent Instagram post, he stated:

“Don’t think I changed my hairstyle, I’m just working on making it even better 😎 I’m not ready to go bald yet, so I took the magic solution from @now.hairtime. Growing up my hair back soon.”

Now Hair Time has also provided a glimpse of Ngannou’s hair transformation on their official Instagram account. You can check that out below:

Previously, it was noted that Ngannou has vowed not to fight for the UFC again for $500,000 or $600,000. He has also stated that he will make the big switch to boxing and is already being linked to a super fight against Tyson Fury.

Dana White to negotiate deal with Francis Ngannou

However, UFC president Dana White is not willing to let go of the fighter and wants him to sign a new deal with the promotion. White recently dropped hints that the Cameroonian’s case could be solved and revealed that he was soon going to meet Ngannou and his camp to make things right:

In a recent interview with ESPN MMA, he said:

“[Ngannou’s] been in Cameroon visiting his family, so he’s supposed to get back here in the next couple of weeks and we’re supposed to get together. Listen, in the history of this company, the only guy that we’ve ever not signed was Fedor [Emelianenko]. I mean, it’s the only guy we could never sign. So, you know, I’m hopeful and confident that we can get a deal done with Francis.”

We will have to see how quickly can Ngannou recover and make his comeback to the action in the octagon.
