It took just 7o seconds for Francis Ngannou to demolish Junior Dos Santos at UFC Minneapolis in what was a powerful performance.
In doing so he landed his third first-round knockout in succession as well as the performance of the night and a $50,000 bonus. His record now stands at 14 - 3- 0 with nine by knockout.
With Dos Santos on the canvas, 'the predator' went to work with huge two huge right hands and a downwards left before the referee stood in. It was a statement win and one he is incredibly keen to build on.
"I hope the UFC realise that I deserve the title shot right now. I deserve the winner of DC and Stipe," declared a delighted Ngannou post-fight.
SO. MUCH. POWER! ?
