Francis Ngannou got back to what he does best.
“The Predator” steadied himself in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s heavyweight division, as he blew away Curtis Blaydes with punches in the first round of their UFC Fight Night 141 headliner on Saturday at the Cadillac Arena in Beijing. Blaydes (10-2, 5-2 UFC) met his end 25 seconds into Round 1, his four-fight winning streak now in the rearview mirror.
Ngannou (12-3, 7-2 UFC) dropped the Elevation Fight Team standout on all fours with a clubbing overhand right to the temple and then flurried with punches.
