Robelis Despaigne delivered a brutal first-round knockout of former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos, landing a decisive right hand at 2:59 after an early exchange, in the inaugural MMA bout on Netflix's Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano card.
Junior dos Santos praised Francis Ngannou for securing a major deal with the Professional Fighters League that gives him equity, a role on the PFL advisory board, a chairman role with PFL Africa, freedom to compete in boxing, and a seven-figure payday for him and his opponents. Dos Santos believes Ngannou's actions are admirable and rare in a sport like MMA, where fighters often focus on themselves first. He hopes to compete again in 2023 and would be willing to be Ngannou's first opponent in boxing.
