@AndImTheHighOne francis could probably knock me out with the breeze coming off a missed shot, so yeah....I highly doubt it. His power is just ungodly. He doesn't need to hit you clean.

@Bruce I wouldn't have hated it if it went to decision and barb won. A draw would have been a perfect fit.

He landed one shot. From MAYBE 6 inches from impact. You all can believe that really knocked Velazquez out, but that was a dive of the highest order

Cmon fish ngannou only connects after cain is down. He falls on his knee bad and grimaces in pain then ngannou lands a hammer and cain turns over ref steps in.
It was not fixed
He was not dropped
Technical knock out no doubt but clearly his knee gave out

@free skip to 0.06 a change playback speed to 0.25 and watch from there. You will see Ngannou land a short uppercut. Cain's head snaps sideways due to the force. That's what put him on roller skates. He lost his legs, and buckled his knee. Very, very easy to miss. It happens in about half a second.

@fish Lol hahaha thats funny I just got back from the post conference and I was about to post the same vid.
Only I disagree. When he grimaces in pain on the ground he's not ko'd he seems fine except for his knee. Then ngannou lands a hammer fist that's the only time he's hurt by a punch. Either way it's still a ko for ngannou.
Only thing in ngannou's way for a title shot is stipe miocic

That uppercut looks like it hurt him enough to cause the misstep that caused the original damage to the knee. Then cain steps and the knee gives way. So your kinda right.

Yeah he wasn't out but he was definitely on funky street, I think he got flashed, lost motor control functions, slumped, his knee popped and Francis pounced. He wasn't out from the hammerfists either, but I think the ref did a good job. No point letting him take shots from ngannou at that point.

Vick’s knee collapsed Felder’s lung and he still won. What a savage. 

Then he tweets, “I have two lungs...I just want a beer for ****sake.”

Gotta love the guy,right?
