Heading into the main event of UFC Minneapolis, Francis Ngannou was out to prove he was the rightful number one contender for the UFC heavyweight championship. Opposite him stood the imposing former champion, Junior dos Santos, a violent puncher on a mission to reclaim gold.
Too bad Ngannou paid no mind to his opponent’s striking prowess as he blitzed through the Brazilian in a little over one minute into their fight, cementing himself as the next contender.
Check out the reaction to Ngannou’s victory below, plus the best of the rest from an action-packed card inside the Target Center.

If I lost the first crack at @HenryCejudo to @JoeJitsu, I wouldn’t be mad at all. Joey B is legend of the game and with that performance it’s tough to argue who should get the first chance to dethrone the King. Congrats Benevidez! #UFCMinneapolis

Crazy how shallow the bigger divisions are. 3-0 and you can call out Arlovski and possibly be in the rankings. #UFCMinneapolis
