Another low kick dos Santos. Wow, what a great counter punch by Francis Ngannou!!! Oh, what a great knockout, brutal right hand to the head, dos Santos turtled, but Ngannou finishes him with few hammer-fists on the ground, and now hooks! That’s it, Herb Dean stops the fight!!!

Francis Ngannou is the most dangerous man in the UFC right now. Has his flaws, but I don't think we've ever seen this level of raw power.

Every time I watch Francis Ngannou finish opponents in seconds, I give more credit to Stipe Miocic.
Looking back, that was an incredible performance at UFC 220.#UFCMinneapolis
