5 Defining Moments: Francis Ngannou

Francis Ngannou administers pain like few others.

The resurgent heavyweight contender will put his three-fight winning streak on the line when he meets the unbeaten Jairzinho Rozenstruik under the UFC 249 marquee on Saturday at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. Ngannou outside of a few hiccups has thus far delivered on the promise with which he entered the Ultimate Fighting Championship four-plus years ago. The 33-year-old Xtreme Couture representative last appeared at UFC on ESPN 3, where he needed just 71 seconds to bring down Junior dos Santos with punches on June 29.
