The UFC’s debut in mainland China, UFC Fight Night: Ngannou vs. Blaydes 2, delivered a lot of exciting moments; including crushing TKOs in the main and co-main events. Also on the card were a number of submission victories, many by hometown favourites.
Performances of the Night: Francis Ngannou and Li Jingliang
Francis Ngannou will be the story of UFC Beijing, after he snapped his two fight losing skid with an epic TKO victory over Curtis Blaydes inside of 50 seconds.
The Paris-based Cameroonian was reeling after a dreadful loss to Derrick Lewis, on the heels of an awful loss to Stipe Miocic, and was being matched up against a man he beat, albeit controversially, two years ago.
