Heavy hitter: Watch UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou’s first pitch

Take an inside look at Francis Ngannou’s first pitch at the Angels vs. Padres game.

For someone who’s never held a baseball before, [autotag]Francis Ngannou[/autotag]’s first pitch was not too shabby.

The UFC heavyweight champion attended the Los Angeles Angels vs. San Diego Padres game in late August in Anaheim, Calif., where he was seen hanging out with Angels star Shohei Ohtani.

And since power is never a problem for Ngannou, there was no real fear the ball wouldn’t reach its target. The champ went for a sidearm throw in his first pitch.
