KO Of The Year: Francis Ngannou Delivers 'Uppercut From Hell' On Alistair Overeem

Last week, Francis 'The Predator' Ngannou broke the world record for punching power. Now he's delivering those devastating punches against some of the best in the business.

UFC 218 was Ngannou's chance to prove his worth and he did just that after a thunderous left hook in the first round. The time of stoppage was just 1:42.

The Cameroonian-French wrecking ball has already made a name for himself as the most terrifying fighter in the division, but this brutal KO on Alistair Overeem has well and truly made him a challenger for the title.

Ngannou doesn't even have 15 fights under his belt and he can do this? Wow.

Little Caesars Arena in Detroit witnessed something special last night. Ngannou now boasts an impressive 11-1 professional record, including six victories under the UFC banner.

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

As mentioned earlier, the UFC heavyweight sensation holds the world record for punching power and the below video gives us an insight into his overall power.

Ngannou is not a man to be messed with.

Remember the name, Francis Ngannou.
