UFC Minneapolis recap: Francis Ngannou makes quick work of Junior Dos Santos

In the main event of UFC Minneapolis, Francis Ngannou knocked out Junior Dos Santos in just over a minute to stake his claim for a UFC heavyweight title shot.

What was the high point of the fight?

Ngannou opened the fight with a leg kick, after a brief exchange Dos Santos landed a kick of his own but both men hadn’t yet landed anything of real significance.

A massive right hand followed by a leg kick from Ngannou left Dos Santos exposed at a bad angle. “The Predator” connected with a big punch behind the ear of ‘JDS’ that dropped the Brazilian, and Ngannou wasted no time by following up with ground and pound to finish the fight.
