![]() Francis Ngannou takes out the legendary Cain Valasquez:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zrtkoV8jN8&t=18s In 26 seconds! Cain wasn't hit much but looks like he may have eaten a hook or an uppercut before he buckled then twisted his knee. Either way, stunning loss for a guy that many consider to be the best UFC heavyweight ever. Question now is can he make it back from this.

![]() I'm not sure if we've ever covered this guy on here.
Daniel Stefanovski - Born in 1996 in Macedonia. Currently resides in Switzerland I watched some YouTube videos of him and He's pretty good. Most of what I saw were wins by knockout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUnHuSVpRKU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TMVOjKcfpw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQmv7L5boes |

![]() Alex Volkanovski is fighting again this Sunday afternoon (Saturday evening in the U.S.). His opponent is former legend Jose Aldo. If he can get the win he will almost certainly be in the running for a title shot, unless they put one more obstacle in front of him.

![]() Of course he is.
I guess the commission will decide whether we can claim him or not. |

![]() He identifies his ancestry as Macedonian while also acknowledging his maternal side is not. Don’t see an issue there, he seems like a decent enough bloke. Doesn’t strike me as political but pretty sure he won’t allow others to denigrate his father’s heritage.

![]() He definitely seems more inclined to his Macedonian side, has mentioned it many more times than his Greek side from what I have seen in some of his interviews.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbdrfESoyuY At around 5:10 mentions that he was close to 100kg back when he was younger as a rugby player but that after a Macedonian wedding he was definitely over 100kg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzMIssc5pVc Seems to talk about both Macedonians and Greeks at the start of this vid in regard to his name change to Alexander 'the Great' Volkanovski, but later only mentions Macedonians at around 4:20, in regards to them supporting him because of the new nickname. Seems like a decent Macedonian to me, and a great fighter.
