PHOENIX – Cain Velasquez said it was his knee that caused his downfall in his headliner against Francis Ngannou . Although Ngannou (13-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) was ruled a winner by knockout in their UFC on ESPN 1 main event, Velasquez (14-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) said he wasn’t hurt by punches. Instead, he said, it was his body that gave out. “He didn’t even, like, touch me,” Velasquez told MMAjunkie at Talking Stick Arena in Phoenix, which hosted the ESPN-televised event. “It was just the knee. As soon as I felt the knee buckle, it was like I couldn’t believe that happened, and that was it.” At the post-fight news conference, Velasquez speculated his meniscus and medial collateral ligament (MCL) were the source of the injury
