Francis N’Gannou rightly feels his knockout win over Cain Velasquez should catapult him into title contention, but UFC president Dana White has other ideas.

‘The Predator’ knocked out Velasquez in just 26-seconds at Sunday’s UFC on ESPN debut, buckling the former two-time UFC heavyweight champion with a big right hand.

After earning the biggest win of his career and his 7th KO inside the Octagon, N’Gannou has called for a title shot against current champ Daniel Cormier.

The lined opponent for Cormy is Brock. I think Cormy would want to avenge the loss of Cain before he retires.

Brock definitely has earned a shot at the UFC's top belt with his stellar 0-2 with 1 nc for testing juicy in the past 8 years.

100% agree but you forgot to factor in how many t shirts he sells.

Carny rules champ.
