@wrestlejamia @TheJonnyDahman A Lightning fast, heat seeking head kick.

The Vietnamese fighter improved his professional MMA record to 2-0 with the impressive finish. With the performance, the 21-year-old also earned his second straight stoppage win.

The knockout was as nasty as it gets and it's easy to see why it drew comparisons to Francis Ngannou's incredible finish of Alistair Overeem in late 2017. Several MMA fans consider Ngannou's punch and follow-up blow to Overeem as one of the most brutal knockouts in UFC history.

Francis Ngannou on UFC return, Jon Jones could be next

Francis Ngannou was last seen in action against former interim titleholder Ciryl Gane in January. 'The Predator' unified the titles by edging out a unanimous decision win over 'Bon Gamin' despite dealing with a serious injury to his right knee. The champion had to undergo surgery to repair a torn MCL and damaged ACL.

During an interaction with TMZ Sports in late June, the heavyweight champion discussed his injury and gave a timeline on his UFC return. 'The Predator' stated that he is planning to return in late December or early next year:

"It’s getting better. It’s been only three months, so yeah, I’m still doing physical therapy. If everything goes well, I’ll be ready by the end of the year because it’s going to be nine months. So, let’s say late December or early next year."

He continued:

"As for now, let’s fight for the situation and get everything squared up, and then when I will be close to the return, we will see where the landscape is at because a lot of things can happen."

In the meantime, Jon Jones is expected to take on former titleholder Stipe Miocic for the interim title. While there's no firm date for the potential bout, Ngannou will likely return in time to face 'Bones' for the championship.

UFC President Dana White also revealed during an appearance on The Jim Rome Show that Jones could be matched with either Ngannou or Miocic.
