Of these men, only the notoriously durable Hunt escaped the first round.<\/p>\n<p>Francis Ngannou, meanwhile, is on a 10-fight streak. His six most recent wins have occurred in the UFC, where he has smashed Luis Henrique, Curtis Blaydes, Bojan Mihajlovic, Antony Hamilton, Andrei Arlovski and Alistair Overeem. He&#8217;s 11-1.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Cormier last fought in July, when he was knocked out by a Jon Jones head kick.
