The main event of the UFC on ESPN 1 brought a very interesting Heavyweight fight. The all-time best Cameroonian mixed martial artist Francis “The Predator” Ngannou squared off against the former UFC Heavyweight king Cain Velasquez. The two met inside Talking Stick Resort & Casino in Phoenix, Arizona tonight (Sunday, February 17, 2019).
But the match was ended before it even started. Cain Velasquez opened up with a good body kick and tried to shoot in. But Ngannou delivered few short punches and a brutal uppercut that sent Velasquez to the ground. It seemed Cain hurt his knee too!
Despite Velasquez turtled, Francis Ngannou continued pounding him to earn a KO win after only 26 seconds in the first round!
