LAS VEGAS — The Francis Ngannou Era has begun, and it’s no shock what got it underway.
Ngannou’s incredible punching power put an end to the reign of the greatest heavyweight in UFC history in emphatic fashion. He landed a massive left hand early in the second round that dropped Miocic.
Miocic was badly hurt, struggled to his feet and was wobbling around. Ngannou dropped him again and then finished the fight with a devastating, scary and unbelievable powerfist from the top.
Miocic was out and Ngannou became the new heavyweight champion at 52 seconds of the second round Saturday in the main event of UFC 260 at Apex.
