However, some fans out there are claiming that the fight was fixed due to how Ngannou’s leg folded underneath him which is not normal for somebody who has been rendered unconscious.

It’s how he bends his knee that doesn’t sit well with me. That’s not what an unconscious person does. #JoshuaNgannou

I’ve seen Ngannou eat elbows and look unfazed.

I’ve seen Ngannou take punches and dust them off like it’s nothing.

It was clear this match was fixed.

Aj doesn’t hit harder than Fury.

Na we wey Dey awake be mumu.

Them carry fix match give you.

Despite the claims, it’s highly likely that these are just some fans looking for any reason that the match was fixed and there’s no legitimate reason to believe that it was at this point.
