Andrew Karlov | Published Feb. 18, 2019, 3:03 a.m.

At the UFC on ESPN 1 tournament, former heavyweight title challenger Francis Ngannou scored a knockout victory over former champion Cain Velasquez.

The fighters began the bout actively. Already in the middle of the first minute Velasquez tried to perform a takedown, but missed several punches and found himself on the floor, apparently injuring his leg. Ngannou made some finishing shots, and the referee immediately intervened. The meeting was stopped at the 26th second of the fight.
