MAIN EVENT PREDICTION & ANALYSIS

Analysis: Francis Ngannou is an animal, freak of nature with devasting power in his hands and can get the KO at any time in the fight. Use his power to stop takedown not really skilled in the grappling department but he uses his foot movement to avoid being taken down. He is a developing fighter, his striking can get better. Ngannou asked for this fight and he got it. This could be a mistake! Ngannou will have to pace himself in this fight. His gas tank is suspect, he has gassed out before. Cain Velasquez is grappler and wrestler of the highest order. Coming out of the AKA camp with the likes of DC and Khabib, we can expect an amazing performance. He is coming back from injuries and leisure time. Missing action for 3 years. How much better did he get? What can we expect from him?How much does he have left in the tank? Ring rust maybe? NO! Cain is undoubtedly the best fighter in this matchup. He has fought the best of the best. His pace and wrestling will be too much for Ngannou.

Prediction: Cain Velsquez to win by TKO.
