Fighters – have an exit strategy. Make your money and get out. Don't spend your last few fights making the next generation's highlight reel.

Ngannou fought Arlovski at Saturday’s UFC on FOX event in Denver, Colorado. He is currently on a nine-fight win streak. He has 10 total MMA victories with six coming by knockout or TKO. His other four wins all came by submission.
With his finishing ability, Ngannou is a threat to any heavyweight fighter in MMA and is one of the UFC most intriguing prospects.
