The Heavyweight brawl between Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstruik got over sooner than expected.
“The Predator” did not take long to end the fight. He engaged in a flurry of his staple bombs of punches. A left punch right to the jaw of Rozenstruik ended the match in just 20 seconds.

In fact, the walk-out lasted much longer than the fight itself. Rozenstruik was subject to considerable damage through Ngannou’s punch and left the Octagon even before the official announcement of the winner.

That’s why whether boxing or MMA you don’t pull straight back from punches. Ngannou doesn’t have form of Joe Louis, but like Deontay Wilder in boxing, power can make up for many faults. #UFC249
