After the bout, Ngannou reacted to Paul’s win on Twitter, jokingly saying he would slap Paul next time he sees him, while Paul responded that maybe current UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones is “the better heavyweight after all.” Ngannou was asked about his interest in a fight with Paul, and the…

And that feels good to say given the emotional whirlwind that has been the last 12 months of the Beavers’ existence. It’s been a year, to say the least.Things began with displacement for Oregon State. The Pac-12 imploded as member schools scattered, and the Beavs were left without a proverbial chair.
