Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou is mourning the loss of his 15-month-old son, Kobe, who has tragically passed away.
Ngannou shared the heartbreaking news in a deeply emotional message on social media.
“It feels like Kobe left us too soon. My little boy, my companion, my Kobe, was full of life and happiness. But now, he lays lifeless. I keep calling out his name, but he remains unresponsive,” Ngannou expressed.
“I felt my absolute best when I was with him, and now, I’m lost without him. Life has dealt us a cruel blow right where it hurts the most.
“How does one cope with such a loss? How does one go on living with this unbearable pain? If you have any guidance, please share it with me, as I’m at a loss on how to navigate through this,” he continued.
The specific cause of Kobe’s passing has not been disclosed to the public yet.
Ngannou was scheduled to make his debut in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) against the reigning champion, Renan Ferreira, this summer. However, the fight’s status now remains uncertain in light of this devastating news.
