UFC 260: Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou- An Overview

The aforementioned fight has been the only one to make for over a year as ‘The Predator’ stepped into his role as a top contender. Francis Ngannou has rattled off four straight KO wins in his last four outings. Moreover, the devastation of his handiwork alone has been enough to warrant a title shot.

Stipe Miocic has had his hands full with Daniel Cormier for the last three years, ever since he was KO’ed by ‘DC’.
