Sunday’s UFC Phoenix event is in the books, and now that the dust has settled in Arizona, it’s time to go to the scorecard to see who the big winners were at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
1 - Francis Ngannou
A year ago, Francis Ngannou was being written off after his one-sided title fight loss to Stipe Miocic. It got worse last summer when he lost a second consecutive bout to Derrick Lewis. Today? Ngannou is back to being the most feared man in the heavyweight division after knockouts of Curtis Blaydes and Cain Velasquez that lasted a combined 71 seconds.
