He also posted another message on social media Monday, while Conor McGregor was among those who reached out and expressed their sympathies:
Ngannou's coach, Eric Nicksick, responded by asking fans to "please keep Francis and his family in your heart, and may this be a reminder of the fragility of life. Say 'I love you' more often, tomorrow isn't guaranteed."
The details of Kobe's death were not publicly made available.
Ngannou became a household name as a heavyweight champion in the UFC but recently switched to boxing. He lost his debut fight against Tyson Fury in a matchup that was closer than expected and then lost to Anthony Joshua in his second professional boxing match on March 8.
