UFC heavyweight champion of the world, Francis Ngannou, has one of the most lethal punches in the MMA scene. The 35-year-old French holds the record for hardest punch ever recorded. His hands have the power equal to a small family car.

With the help of this weapon, he has successfully knocked out his past five opponents consecutively. The most recent addition to his victim list includes former two times heavyweight champion, Steve Miocic. Although the first confrontation at UFC 220 landed in Stipe’s favor, the second didn’t go according to Miocic’s plan.

With the UFC title on the line, Francis unleashed quickly with slight breaks in the middle, preserving his energy. Miocic held his ground in the first round, but in the second got caught in a barge of punches by the challenger. This knocked out Miocic in a nasty fashion, making ‘The Predator’ the new champ.

Francis added, “Very competitive. He’s a legit man like I remember the first time I went there and I was so underestimated, Stipe. I get so wrong about him. Then from there I kind of like really watch him with a lot of attention and he’s quite impressive how durable he is.”
