Joe Rogan on Francis Ngannou’s TKO of Cain Velasquez: He’s the ‘scariest guy I’ve ever seen’

Francis Ngannou might not be the UFC heavyweight champion, but the Cameroonian knockout artist is one of the scariest fighters in the division.

‘The Predator’ finished former two-time UFC heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez in just 26 seconds this past Sunday, buckling Velasquez with a right hand and finishing the Mexican-American with a barrage of strikes in the UFC on ESPN 1 main event at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.

It was the biggest stoppage win of his career and, despite concerns over him losing his mojo in the Derrick Lewis fight, 32-year-old Ngannou proved that he is still a formidable threat to his fellow UFC heavyweights.
