The Francis Ngannou era has officially begun and man did it start in beautiful fashion.

Ngannou became the UFC heavyweight champ Saturday night with his devastating KO of the former champ, Stipe Miocic. The two traded a few serious blows in the second round before Ngannou sent Miocic to the mat with a huge left hook and then finished him off with one last punch. It’s Ngannou’s fifth straight win and they’ve come from powerful punches.

Ngannou spoke after the fight about a possible matchup with Jon Jones, who is making the move up to heavyweight. While that would be an incredible fight, we need to give his KO of Miocic the celebration it deserves.

Ngannou was pretty pumped about his new title:
