He knocked out Miocic in the first minute of the second round to become the new UFC Heavyweight Champion. UFC Fighters and top stars from around the world reacted to this, including several WWE Superstars.
Francis Ngannou’s performance last night blew former NXT Champion Karrion Kross away. Kross noted that everyone knew Ngannou would win the World title someday and pointed out that his loss to Stipe Miocic at UFC 220 only fueled the fire for an emphatic return.
WOW! 🤯💀🤯
I feel like everyone knew Ngannou was going to be world champ when we saw him hit the scene.
His first loss to Stipe may have been the best thing to happen to him because now he’s on a whole new level.

‘The Predator’ had this victory a long time coming. He set the tone with those back-to-back KO victories and sealed the deal today with ‘one punch.’
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping had predicted the fight would end in round one. Although it didn’t end in round one, it was an early knockout either way.
