Fortunes changed for five at UFC 218

UFC 218 on Saturday night featured two of the wildest fights of the year as well as a strong championship main event with a new young star scoring his second decisive win over the greatest fighter in that division.

But when the night was over, one moment stood out.

It was the scene of Alistair Overeem literally being lifted off his feet by a left hook from Francis Ngannou, and a collective almost instantaneous reaction from almost everyone watching of what needed to be next.

Joe Rogan outright said it in his post-match interview with Ngannou.
