Francis Ngannou (12-3 MMA) snapped his two-fight losing skid in tonight’s UFC Beijing main event, scoring a first-round TKO victory over Curtis Blaydes.

“The Predator” was able to land a beautifully timed right hand just seconds into the opening round which sent Curtis Blaydes crashing to the canvas.

Blaydes would quickly scramble back up to his feet, only to be sent back down to the floor by another big punch from Ngannou. After a couple more punches the referee had seen enough and stepped in to call a stop to the action.
