Stipe Miocic knew he was in for a long night once Francis Ngannou stuffed his early takedown. Not to mention, Miocic was punished on the exit and his dome was certainly rattled. The failed takedown was the beginning of the end, as Ngannou’s confidence went through the roof with each passing second.
The finishing sequence was as violent as fans have come to expect, and this will remain an all-time highlight for Francis Ngannou, at least until he “plays” with Jon Jones.
