Round 1: Big time spot here for Ngannou, trying himself against a big name like Arlovski. Referee is Adam Martinez. They touch em up. Ngannou on the outside, and right off a little cautious. Overhand right grazes Arlovski. A couple of leg kicks from the former champ, who is now shuffling back and threatening. Both look like they want to take out the other with a single shot, and an exchange there from range ends with both guys throwing errant shots. And BOOM, a big shot from Ngannou, a right uppercut, drops Arlovski! Ngannou goes in for the kill, and that's it — the ref steps in! Wow! Ngannou has arrived.
