Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou will square off for a second time with heavyweight gold on the line at UFC 260.
UFC president Dana White confirmed the pairing during the UFC on ABC 1 post-fight press conference on Saturday. UFC 260 takes place on March 27 at an as yet to be announced location and will see Alexander Volkanovski defend his featherweight crown against Brian Ortega in the co-main event.
Miocic earned a convincing five-round verdict against Ngannou during his first title reign at UFC 220 in January 2018.
