I get the feeling that this main event was set-up to jumpstart velasquez `return...ngannou has no wrestling background whatsoever....if velasquez has anything left after his long layoff,you`d think he`d ground and pound ngannou into powder.....
but,ngannou has big power...and that layoff was sooooo long.....
we`ll see....odds moved toward velasquez late...

lik I was saying......velasquez is shot....
////lolol...that wan`t a knee..those were some big punches that velasquez couldn`t handle......Cormier's better than velasquez...
Not sure what fight you watched....Cain was barely touched, his knee gave out, Francis Ngannou barely touched him.
My grandma hits harder and she's dead:mj07:
Yet another injury for Cain:facepalm:

?He didn?t even, like, touch me,? Velasquez told MMAjunkie at Talking Stick Arena in Phoenix, which hosted the ESPN-televised event. ?It was just the knee. As soon as I felt the knee buckle, it was like I couldn?t believe that happened, and that was it.?

He goes noodle armed before his knee buckles then wrestles the ref.
Cain went to the back and saw that they didn't show any clean punches dropping him and went with the, "My knee buckled defense"
This angle shows he was clearly rocked. Him screaming in pain shows that he was obviously not KO'd, but he did grab the refs pants/socks/shoes and was clearly loopy.
The MRI will show a slight tear in the meniscus. News Flash... We all have slight tears in the meniscus at this age. He's fine and only needs to go through the concussion protocol.

He was hit, but not by much, if that shot finished him it is time for Cain to call it quits. That was not a huge shot by any stretch of the imagination.
I appreciate you coming back to the side of truth (No more Fake News) and acknowledging the punch.
I agree that was not the same shot that Ngannou used to decapitate the Reem, but it was Ngannou throwing it and you have to believe that a 10% Ngannou punch is different than a 100% Kneifl Punch.
For the record I never said he was un-hit in the fight I said he was barely touched. Like Thong in high school, ya know, barely touched.
