AUSTIN, TEXAS: Francis Ngannou recently made an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. The UFC commentator recommended Ngannou and Mike Tyson to get their healing treatment done before they face any opponent in the ring.

Francis Ngannou, the former heavyweight champion of the UFC, had a serious knee injury while training for UFC 270 in January 2020. The right knee of 'The Predator' had a completely torn MCL and an ACL injury.

They talked about his recent knee injury, his future boxing debut, and contract negotiations with the UFC. Rogan inquired about Ngannou's knee and whether stem cell research had been done on him.

The 56-year-old was discussing stem cell therapy, an ongoingly researched medical procedure that uses stem cells to speed up the body's repair and regeneration of damaged tissues or organs. However, the proof surrounding its effectiveness is unclear.

Rogan stated, “There’s a company in Austin, Ways2Well that I wanted to hook you up with…”

Ngannou was aware of the method and willing to use it. He explained that he had failed the exam for the test, and Rogan responded, “I can take care of that [Exam] too. You should do that, it will help, for sure. It’ll help you. It definitely will."

Infusion of stem cells, engraftment, post-transplant care, and recovery are among the processes in the stem cell treatment process.

Considering all the steps to the procedure and the fact that Ngannou was leaving the city after the podcast episode, there was no time for stem cell therapy.

Additionally, Mike Tyson, Ngannou's new boxing trainer, underwent stem cell therapy as well and has been very open about it. In 2020, in Episode #1532 of 'JRE', the former pro boxer talked about his experience and how he felt after the process.
