“I was in a gym with (Francis) Ngannou and he was working on some takedowns. He grabbed my leg, showing all his strength and power. And he didn't even put in all his strength. It was then that I realized how strong he is,” said Woodley in an interview with 'Helen Yee Sports'.

The American also revealed that, while training, he didn't know how to react to Ngannou's attempts.

"I did not know what to do. I don't know what I would do against him, because I've never felt anyone put so much pressure on my face and make me feel like my nose was going to break,” added the fighter.
