10. Cain Velasquez Vs. Francis Ngannou - UFC On ESPN 1
Just in case you forgot about Cain Velasquez during his two-year break from competition, the former UFC heavyweight champion is returning to the Octagon for a massive match-up with knockout specialist, Francis Ngannou, in what promises to be an epic battle of the big men.
