Heavyweights will enter the Octagon to show a brutal and bright, spectacular, but short-lived battle. One quality punch is enough to win since a knockout can happen at any time.
A former UFC heavyweight title challenger, Ngannou is a natural killing machine who hardly ever reaches the second round. Seven of the last nine battles Ngannu won in the first round by knockout or technical knockout.
Rosenstrike is also a quite powerful and dangerous opponent. He has never lost in his short MMA career and won nine out of ten fights by knockout.
The winner of the bout will become the main contender for the title in this divisi
