Even Eric Nicksick would probably say he’s gone a little bit overboard when it comes breaking down and analyzing the first fight between UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic and his fighter Francis Ngannou.
The Xtreme Couture head coach wasn’t working with Ngannou for that fight so he didn’t have the inside knowledge about the training camp that led to that night but he’s obsessively watched the footage in order to prepare for the rematch at UFC 260.
In fact, Nicksick revealed that he’s pored over the 25-minute fight from UFC 220 at least once a day since Ngannou’s second chance to become champion was confirmed by the promotion.
