A super-heavyweight bout, pitting the champion against the division’s top-ranked contender, will headline UFC 260 on Saturday, as Stipe Miocic defends the heavyweight championship against Francis Ngannou.
The card took a major hit when a scheduled title bout pitting UFC Featherweight Champion Alexander Volkanovski against Brian Ortega was canceled after Volkanovski tested positive for COVID-19. That was a massive draw for 260, especially coming off Volkanovski’s two wins against Max Holloway, and there is no legitimate way to replace it. Outside of the main event, the fights on the main card do not have direct title ramifications.
