Stipe Miocic is not consumed by the thought of becoming the greatest heavyweight of all time in mixed martial arts.
The sole focus for Miocic is Francis Ngannou, whom he meets on Saturday in the UFC 260 main event. The 38-year-old, who has already set the record for most UFC heavyweight championship defenses, seeks to add to his lengthy list of accomplishments with a victory. But despite a nearly perfect track record in the Octagon, Miocic expressed no surprise that the Las Vegas oddsmakers have, once again, made him the underdog in Saturday’s fight.
“By this point, I’m used to it,” Miocic says.
