UFC on ESPN 3 Results: Former Heavyweight champion destroyed in 71 seconds

#6. Francis Ngannou (13-3-0) vs. Junior Dos Santos (21-5-0) (Heavyweight)

Ngannou vs. Santos

71 seconds. That's all it took for Francis Ngannou to let his hands to the talking tonight. JDS fans who were hoping for the revival to continue had to witness a scary sight that is often seen in fights involving the towering Cameroonian-French fighter.

Ngannou started the fight with low kicks with JDS answering with one of his own. The low kick exchange continued until JDS messed up a right hand shot. Ngannou pounced on the opportunity and landed some monstrous shots to force JDS down to his knees.

A comeback after eating Ngannou's strikes is virtually impossible.

Result: Francis Ngannou def. Junior Dos Santos via TKO (punches) (1:11, Round One)

Ngannou should ideally face the winner of Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic, which is scheduled to take place on August 18th at UFC 241.

After losses to Miocic and Lewis, Ngannou has restored his reputation of being a freakishly powerful knockout artist with three back-to-back-back first-round victories.
