Francis Ngannou has showed off his new physique ahead of UFC on ESPN 8 and the heavyweight contender is looking seriously jacked.

The Cameroonian-French star returns to action on March 28 when he faces Jairzinho Rozenstruik in a main event bout.

And the 33-year-old is looking better than ever as he took to social media to reveal his supreme shape.

He uploaded a picture of himself in preparation for his fight on social media.

The MMA community were left stunned with his new physique including UFC president Dana White, who commented: "Holy F**kin Sh*t!!!!"

Ngannou is over a month away from his 12th UFC outing and his opponent Rozenstruik has amped up the clash by predicting to "knock his ass out".

"Francis is number two in the world, and I want his spot. So the only thing that counts is winning this fight, taking his spot and going for the title shot after," he said.

"Nobody wants to fight him. He's knockout everybody out of their face. I do the same! So what's going to happen? If I land first, he goes to sleep. I'm going to be the first guy to knock his ass out.

"I'm looking for another record. If I beat him, I go 5-0 in the UFC with 5 KO's, go for a title shot, take the title and make another record: six fights in the UFC and I'm champion. What's better than that?"

Rozenstruik is 4-0 inside the Octagon which includes stoppage victories over Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem.

Ngannou, on the other hand, is on a three-fight win streak following his defeat to Derrick Lewis in 2018.
