Before this crucial fight, the 32-year-old suffered two consecutive defeats, including a recent loss to Stipe Miocic, but this will put Ngannou back in the frame.
"Listen, man. I'm back!" Ngannou said after the fight.
"2018 was a hard year for me... I had to grow as a fighter. By the end of the year, I have learned more than my whole career."

In the above clip, he was fresh off a one-round demolition job over former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and Overeem, who is classed as one of the best in the division, was another victim to his devastating punching power.
