In the co-main event of this weekend’s UFC 218 in Detroit, MI, fourth ranked UFC heavyweight Francis Ngannou (10-1) has an opportunity to punch his own ticket for a title showdown with incumbent champion Stipe Miocic. But for the Cameroonian to secure a title shot, he needs to get past a man who has been around the top of the heap for the past decade; Alistair Overeem (43-15 1NC).
The last time fans saw Ngannou fight was back in January, when he dispatched of former UFC heavyweight king Andrei Arlovski.
