UFC 218: Francis Ngannou Annihilates Alistair Overeem In First-round KO

UFC 218 Francis Ngannou

The UFC 218’s co-main event featured two of the top heavyweight on the planet when decorated striker Alistair Overeem took on Cameroonian powerhouse Francis Ngannou.

As if the pair weren’t already motivated enough, UFC president Dana White announced beforehand that the winner of this bout would be next in light for a heavyweight title shot.

“Whoever wins is going to fight Stipe,” White told reporters.

Ngannou cemented himself as a real force in the heavyweight division with an unreal first-round finish of Alistair Overeem.

Overeem moves forward with a left hook right away, then shot for a takedown. He presses Ngannou against the cage. Frances had Overeem’s back against the fence, so the referee separated them. Ngannou counters and shattered Overeem with a huge left hook that put him on the canvas.

Ngannou spoke after the fight saying:

“I feel pretty good! I took this because the winner should get a title shot and I think I got it.”

The win takes Ngannou to 11-1, whilst Overeem copped his 11th career knockout.

The social media response has been deafening, here’s what some of the big names had to say:

Why does my heart race when heavyweights fight?

If Overeem's glass jaw gets touched by N'Gannou(sp?) it'll probably shatter. #UFC218

Well, Ngannou landed first. Scary, scary power. Nobody at heavyweight wants to get hit by that cinder block fist. What a great story he is. #UFC218
