Last night (Sat. June 29, 2019) Francis Ngannou showed why he should be the next man to challenge for the heavyweight title.

“The Predator” finished off ex-champion Junior dos Santos in the main event of UFC Minneapolis with a first-round TKO win. Now, Ngannou is on the hunt for a title opportunity, meaning he’d take on the winner of Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic at UFC 241 in August.

Speaking to Megan Olivi after the show, Dana White was asked if he thinks Ngannou will be the next challenger for the heavyweight strap. Here’s what the UFC boss had to say:

“Yeah, this fight [Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic] has to play out first,” White said. “Stipe and Cormier has to play out – see how they both come out of that fight. Who wins, how they come out of that fight, what does Cormier want to do next if he wins?

“You know, so there’s a lot of things that play into what’s next. It’s not as easy as ‘Oh, I won tonight, I’m next for the fight.’ And we know this, I go through this every single time there’s a fight.”

Ngannou is currently on a three-fight knockout streak. He has finished each of his past three opponents – Curtis Blaydes, Cain Velasquez, and dos Santos – in the first round. He earned a title shot back in 2018, taking on then-champion Stipe Miocic in a bout that went all five rounds. Miocic retained his title via unanimous decision.

Following a disappointing showing against Derick Lewis in July of last year, Ngannou seems to have returned to his old finishing ways, reminding the UFC heavyweight roster why he’s the most feared man in the division.

Do you think Ngannou is deserving of a heavyweight title shot next?

Earlier tonight (Sat. June 29, 2019) UFC on ESPN 3 took place from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Minneapolis crowd turned out for the event with an attendance number of 10,123, hauling in a $952,204.77 gate. There were also some well-deserved post-fight bonuses handed out.

On the ESPN preliminary card, Eryk Anders pulled off a stunning first-round knockout win over Vinicius Moreira. The punishment may have went on a little too long, due to poor officiating, however, Anders’ spectacular knockout will earn him a $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus.

Kicking off the main card on ESPN was a light heavyweight tilt between Alonzo Menifield and Paul Craig. Menifield was able to catch Craig after a failed spinning attempt, crushing Craig on the ground with some vicious ground-and-pound shots. He’ll also get Performance Of The Night, along with a $50,000 bonus.

In the co-main event, Joseph Benavidez put Jussier Formiga away to, likely, solidify himself as the next title challenger for the 125-pound throne. Benavidez will be taking home a $25,000 Performance Of The Night bonus as well.

Finally, Francis Ngannou remains the scariest man at heavyweight. He finished Junior dos Santos in the main event, once again showcasing his devastating knockout power. In addition to, likely, cementing himself as the challenger for the winner of Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic for the heavyweight title, Ngannou will also enjoy a $50,000 Performance Of The Night bonus.
