Francis Ngannou told Dana White, ‘I need the title shot’ after KO of Junior dos Santos

It’s hard to argue against the logic that Francis Ngannou has done more than enough to earn another shot at the UFC heavyweight title.

Following first-round knockouts against both Cain Velasquez and Curtis Blaydes in consecutive fights, Ngannou needed just 71-seconds to dispatch Junior dos Santos and notch his third win in a row at UFC Minneapolis on Saturday.

Altogether, Ngannou has spent a grand total of two minutes and 27 seconds in the Octagon over the course of his past three victories while adding two former heavyweight champions to his resume.
