UFC 249 Preview And Prediction

Although a lot of the fights on this card are exciting bouts that are sure to bring plenty of action, there are a couple match-ups that have the potential to be on a different level of violence. One of those is the heavyweight battle between Francis Ngannou and Jairzinho Rozenstriuk.

We've all seen what Ngannou can do inside the Octagon and the sort of devastation he can cause. When he's on his game, he's a one man wrecking machine, built to annihilate opponents, cash a cheque and look fantastic while doing it. His shovel uppercut knockout of Alistair Overeem is still one of the scariest finishes we've ever seen in this sport.

Rozenstruik is hardly lacking power himself and has proven in his relatively short UFC career that it only takes one punch from him to end a fight. While he looked like the type of heavy hitter who could only end it in the first stanza, he proved against Overeem that he could take a beating for five rounds and still come through with a fight-ending blow.

Although Rozenstruik has looked extremely impressive during his time competing in the Octagon, Ngannou's otherwordly power and the level of competition he's faced makes him extremely tough to pick against.
