Francis Ngannou Preys Upon Junior dos Santos in UFC on ESPN 3 Main Event

The ordering process for Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-views has changed: UFC 239 is only available on ESPN+ in the U.S.

Francis Ngannou struck more fear into the heart of the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight division with his latest performance.

The 6-foot-4, 260-pound Frenchman on Saturday blew away former champion Junior dos Santos with punches in the first round of their UFC on ESPN 3 headliner at the Target Center in Minneapolis, establishing himself as the obvious No. 1 contender for the heavyweight crown. Dos Santos (21-6, 15-5 UFC) joined a growing list of Ngannou victims 1:11 into Round 1.
