Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has praised Stipe Miocic following the latter’s retirement from mixed martial arts.
Last Saturday night, Stipe Miocic was defeated by Jon Jones in the main event of UFC 309. It wasn’t a particularly close encounter, either, with Jones getting the better of the former heavyweight king before finishing him off in the third round.
In the aftermath of the fight, Stipe Miocic confirmed during an interview with Joe Rogan that he will be retiring from the sport. At the age of 42, he’s accomplished everything he hoped to, and now, he’s able to ride off into the sunset with no regrets.
