Cain Velasquez had been out for two-and-a-half years, but he lasted only 26 seconds Sunday night in the main event of UFC on ESPN 1.

Francis Ngannou was merciless against the former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champion and ended things with a flurry of punches. Velasquez (14-3) missed a wild kick to the head and then tried taking the Cameroon native down, but Ngannou unloaded a storm of punches as Velasquez crumbled in a heap.
