UFC legend Francis Ngannou floored social media star iShowSpeed before the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Ngannou, 39, and Speed, 20, are in Morocco for the big showdown between the host nation and Senegal at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium.
The pair had a rather awkward – and apparently scripted – confrontation on the touchline as the American told the MMA hero that he wants to learn how to box.
It seemed like Speed was trying to tease one of those controversial influencer bouts with the Cameroonian bruiser.
Ngannou said: ” I heard you are looking for me.”
Speed answered: “I’m trying to learn how to box. I want to learn how to fight”
The UFC hero said: “Ah, okay. Like, for real? Because it hurts.”
That was when the heavyweight appeared to punch Speed in the stomach with a rather soft right hand.
The Ohio native went down screaming in what seemed to be a performance.
The social media personality got back up and gave the African fighter an angry – and exaggerated – nasty look.
Ngannou said: “That’s a little bit of what you can expect.”
The two men ended up shaking hands with the social media personality issuing some parting words.
Speed said: “Monday I will get my revenge.”
