KNOCKOUT! Francis Ngannou wins in just 20 seconds at UFC 249!
Heavyweight star Francis Ngannou made it look easy at UFC 249, earning yet another first round knockout.
The French-based Cameroonian faced undefeated, fellow KO artist Jairzinho Rozenstruik on the main card in the UFC’s return. Widely seen as a number one contender bout, UFC president Dana White announced that the winner would get a shot at gold. Once heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier complete their trilogy, the winner at UFC 249 would get their shot. Ngannou wasted no time securing his title shot.
