In a quick, but sort of unexpected fashion, Francis Ngannou scored yet another knockout win, but not before Cain Velasquez blew out his knee right in the middle of some fierce ground and pound delivered by his opponent at UFC Phoenix, who was ruled the winner via KO at the night’s main event in Arizona. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the bout’s sad ending.
So excited to see Cain back out there. Probably my favorite fighter of all time to watch. 1000 days off and coming back against this monster !!
