Many people would have been hoping to see Francis Ngannou knockout Stipe Miocic when watching UFC 220 and would have been left disappointed but Abdul Razak Alhassan made sure fans didn't go to bed without a great K.O.
Ngannou vs Miocic was the kind of heavyweight matchup that was getting people excited. After all the challenger had grown a reputation for being a K.O merchant and the sports up and coming star name had already called out Brock Lesnar.
However it wasn't to be as Miocic became the first heavyweight champion to successfully defend the UFC belt on three consecutive occasions, winning by unanimous decision, 50-44, 50-44, 50-44.

Watch our interview with Conor McGregor:
But fight fans weren't sent home to bed without a lovely little knockout with 22 year old Abdul Razak Alhassan providing one of the moments of the night in his fight against Sabah Homasi.
The two welterweights had fought at the beginning of last month at UFC 218 and did it all over again last night with the Ghanaian getting his second win against his opponent with a brutal uppercut:
The first fight ended in controversy with some believing the ref had stopped things early, this time there was no doubt and after the fight the victor said, "I knew it was the right thing to give him the rematch. I wanted to do the right thing and leave no doubt. I threw the right hand, and I noticed he had a hard time getting out of it, so I waited until I had the chance and I threw the uppercut."
