Outlook: The man some christened as a champion in waiting early in his UFC career made good on that potential in his second shot at Miocic at UFC 260. Ngannou, now the heavyweight king, has a plethora of directions to go with his first title defense. One avenue is the trilogy bout with Miocic. With the two even at one win apiece, the fight certainly makes sense and would be intriguing. Of course, there’s also the looming specter of Jon Jones, who has committed himself to a move up to the heavyweight ranks after his historic run at 205 pounds.
