Watch “UFC 260 countdown” video for an early look at next Saturday’s heavyweight championship rematch between Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou.
Miocic seeks his fifth successful defense of the heavyweight title when he once again faces Ngannou. The two first fought at UFC 220 on Jan. 20, 2018. At that event, Miocic used his wrestling to win a one-sided decision over Ngannou and set the record for most consecutive successful UFC heavyweight championship defenses (3).
The proud Ohioan moved on to a feud with Daniel Cormier, losing the title to “DC” in their first meeting before rebounding with consecutive wins over Cormier to regain the belt and win their trilogy.
