UFC star Francis Ngannou laughed off Ryan Garcia’s brutal punches as the pair took part in a Body Shot Challenge.
Garcia let rip with a flurry of left hands but heavyweight contender Ngannou stood firm and even asked the 21-0 boxer ‘Are you done yet?’.
Nagannou is hoping to take the UFC heavyweight belt off Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 on Saturday night.
To be one of the most ferocious fighters on the planet, you have to be able to take a punch.
And the Cameroonian – whose painful punches were compared to being hit by a sledgehammer – proved he can do just that in the footage.
Soon after Ngannou knocked out Jairzinho Rozenstruik at UFC 249 last year, the pair linked up to shoot the video.
Ngannou was decked out in a body suit as Garcia let rip.
But not only did the 260lb fighter withstand the barrage of blows, he seemed to enjoy it.
After an initial flurry of punches failed to move Ngannou, Garcia eased off.
But the UFC star quipped: “Are you done?”

Garcia started again and appeared to up the intensity but the grin on Ngannou’s face only got bigger.
After a laughing Garcia stopped permanently, Ngannou revealed he would regularly get people to hit him in the stomach earlier in his career to help him build up resistance.
Earlier this month Garcia opened up about his battle with anxiety in a heartfelt Instagram post.
Garcia has 8.5million followers on Instagram and is set for boxing stardom.
But he revealed he battles every day and he is ‘with all of you who struggle’.
