Junior Dos Santos is fresh off a TKO victory over Derrick Lewis at ESPN+4. Santos holds an impressive (21-5 MMA Record) and is (15-4 in the UFC).

Ngannou delivered two impressive knock outs of Curtis Blaydes and Cain Velasquez. With KO wins over two of the best wrestlers in the heavyweight division, Ngannou has seemed to answer the question if he can beat the best wrestlers.
