As expected with two heavyweight knockout artists in the cage, the fight did not last long as “The Predator” was able to catch “The Demolition Man” with a crushing left hook that sent Overeem crashing to the canvas.

The bout was immediately called off by the referee and it is now clear that Francis Ngannou is the number one contender for Stipe Miocic’s heavyweight strap.
