Say Farewell to the UFC Heavyweight Division

Farewell UFC heavyweight division, it had a good run, didn’t it? From 1997 to 2021 we had some fun fights and some good memories. If you’re a UFC heavyweight not named Stipe Miocic, Francis Ngannou, or Jon Jones, we hope you enjoy your vacation. We appreciate your application but the UFC heavyweight title is currently not seeking new contenders. This championship belt is about to be tied up for the next three years.

Miocic, Ngannou, and Jones

Stipe Miocic (20-3) the current reigning champion will be looking to defend his championship against the Cameroonian bruiser Francis Ngannou (15-3) on March 27 at UFC 260, in a much-anticipated rematch.
