Francis Ngannou was looking in the mirror at UFC 249 against Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
Jair's UFC career started much like Ngannou's did -- a surging, huge heavyweight knocking out people en route to a UFC title shot. The only difference is, Ngannou has been there, lost and came out better on the other end.
The fight between the two was postponed in both March and April before finally going down at UFC 249, with the winner likely in like for a UFC Heavyweight title fight. That winner took a matter of seconds to decide.
It's pretty clear Ngannou has discovered that when he punches people in the face, they go to sleep. Ngannou knocked out Rozenstruik with a left hand just 18 seconds into the round.
It was Ngannou's fourth consecutive knockout, putting him right back into title contention
