The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Sunday enjoyed a strong ESPN debut at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. Five underdogs won on the 12-fight UFC on ESPN 1 card. They are front and center in this edition of Beating the Books.
Francis Ngannou (+175)
The main event featured the biggest upset, as Ngannou needed just 26 seconds to stop two-time heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez with punches. The finishing sequence came quickly -- fans needed to see a replay to see what truly happened -- but Ngannou landed some short punches that hurt Velasquez.
