“No way. He’s that athletic? Oh, this guy is scary. I didn’t know he could do a backflip like that. A heavyweight doing a backflip, he’s built differently. Honestly, after seeing this I’m a little more scared for Francis Ngannou. I never realized he had so much athleticism,” commented a shocked Jake Paul.
